Great service and fair price. Quick and quality! I had to come back for re-test, and that was efficient too

Highly recommend Tich and 88 Smog Test Only Station -- our first experience with his excellent service began when we called to check his availability and he got us right in! He is kind and competent and caring. We will never use anyone else for a smog check again! read more

Service was quick and inexpensive, would recommend to anyone looking to get there smog done

Friendly and speedy service! Make sure to use their Yelp coupon by checking in on the app!

Pulled right in on a Saturday morning with no appointment and owner Tich happily greeted me. I was in and out in very short 20 minutes. Using the $10.00 off coupon on their website I was out the door @ $48.00 including State certificate. Very pleasant experience and I highly recommend this site for your Test Only smog needs. UPDATE: I have returned with 2 other family members and had the same great service. read more

Been coming here since my dad use to bring his cars here to get smogged! Lifetime customer for sure! If you want a great experience getting your car smogged this gentleman is transparent, has great customer service, and just overall makes the process smooth. read more

Called and spoke with John, I assume the owner to ask for a quote. I came in at the end of the day and Tich was the one in charge of taking the smog test. He was super helpful, quick, kind, polite and efficient. There's guest chairs to sit on while you you wait. Tich got me in and out of there super quick. Great value for money compared to other smog areas. Plus, I have an older vehicle and there was none of that "$x for an older vehicle and I can't have you come in until next week because it's an older vehicle" nonesense. Previous reviewers have mentioned it is behind the petrol station across from Baskin and Robbins. The lot is a bit tight as it's share with an auto repair shop. read more

Very quick and efficient smog check. Price was good and even had a $10 off coupon. Friendly service too. read more

I arrived there was a car getting smog and I still was out within 20 minutes max. Owner was respectful and easy going

The required smog test was carefully and thoroughly completed I bc a very timely n Mom winner. Thank you 88 Smog Test-Only Station!

I've been pricing smog tests because I gotta get one on my van this year. I walked into this place after seeing the sign from the gas station I was at so I could inquire what their price was. It is located in one if the garage style work areas behind Ramco Gas. The man was very pleasant and I found out the price was $58, all-inclusive he said. That's not the cheapest but about $10 under the last place I checked, on Fletcher Pkwy. And they take walk-ins. Good to know. read more

Fast and friendly! Gave me a great deal and took me in on a walk up bases. Over all great service and genuine.

Had to STAR smog my 93 truck and went here at my mechanic's recommendation that he is honest and friendly. I found this to be the case as he took the time to explain the process and requirements. I like the fact that you can watch while he conducts the inspection unlike shops that take your car to an out of view area. He seems knowledgeable even with my older vehicle and showed be where to find the manufacturer smog requirements for my make and model. Overall I'm pretty impressed with his service and friendly demeanor and I learned something about my truck in the process. read more

Quick in and out smog check. $10 discount for first time customers and then offers a refrigerator magnet with a "forever" $10 discount on it. $48 including certificate instead of $58. There might be cheaper places out there but the owner is friendly and the location is convenient. read more

5 STAR SMOG STATION hands down. Owner John is a cool guy. Very friendly and honest and treats your car with care like if it were his. His pricing is also very competitive from other smog shops around. Would recommend this shop to anyone that needs to smog their vehicle. read more

Wow! FAST, efficient, kind, and very reasonable rates. If you want it to be easy, this is the place. It's right off Fletcher, Turn on to Garfield (toward 99cent store) and you will see it on the left side. I think it's the first driveway. I highly recommend this business! read more

I have taken all my vehicles here at one time or another. The owner is very helpful, quick, and reasonably priced. Not usually that long of a wait if any. I highly recommend! read more

The best smog check experience I have ever had, by far! The owner/technician was pleasant and efficient. I called just before I was ready to head over to make sure there was no wait. read more

I have been coming here for YEARS to do my smog check. Its a hidden little spot behind the gas station. The owner is very nice, friendly, and he even offers a coupon through yelp! He does a fast, easy service and always with a smile! I only had to go somewhere else 1x when the machine for cars older than 99 was broken, but have been back at least a handful of times since then for the same amazing service. 10/10 would recommend coming here!!! read more

I'd give more stars if able. I did not make an appt and John squeezed me in. Was in and out in less than 20min. Ask about yelp coupon $15 off. Very underrated spot. Location is difficult to find due to it being behind the gas station but service and price beats it out. Ill be back again when it's time. read more

I had the NERVE to show up within a few minutes of closing. I was serviced with a smile an nice conversation. Pricing felt right. I have to say. Directly after my smog test, as I was backing my car out to leave I noticed that the man who helped me closed up quickly and was behind me in his car as I pulled out! I mention this because I assumed he had something to do or someplace to be but not ONCE did I feel rushed or any sign that he had anything better to do than to provide me with great service. That's pretty sweet! I really need to remember peoples names so that Incan give proper credit. read more

Excellent service, honest and always in and out in less than 20 minutes. I've brought 3 vehicles here. I changed the catalytic converter on my '05 Camry last year and it didn't pass. He told me to drive it another 50 miles and bring it back for a free retest. It passed. I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else. Thanks 88 Smog! read more

Went in to have my pick up truck smogged. Received fast, courteous service. Was out in about 20 minutes or so. Discount coupon for checking in. I highly recommend this business. read more

Great place! Very fast, courteous, and efficient. Check in to get $10 off. It's behind the Ramco gas station. There wasn't a wait when I came so we were out in under 15 minutes. read more

Fast, friendly and the price is the best. I even got coupons for next time. This is my go to spot now!

So quick, so painless. Print the coupon from the website. The workers are super nice and get you in and out!!

Super fast, very nice guy. I called ahead to see if they were busy, they weren't. I drove in about 40 minutes later and was taken care of immediately. The whole process took about 10 minutes. If you use the yelp check in offer they'll give you an extra $10 off, which is great. Highly recommend coming here if you live in the area and need a smog check!! read more

I recently went here because my friends parents referred me to this place. It's right behind a gas station and across the street from baskin robins. Tim, the guy that did my smog check, is extremely helpful and friendly. I thought it would take long since it usually does but he worked fast and efficiently. The prices are great too. Cheaper than my last smog test. Thanks Tim! Definitely will be coming back :) read more

Tim was so nice and quick! The smog test took no more than 10 minutes with his up to date equipment. Definitely recommend this place!

I just had a great experience here. I gave a call to check price and to see if there was a wait. He said now is a great time so I warmed up the truck by driving it up Fletcher Parkway and went straight there. I was done in about 10 minutes. The price was fair and even better when I mentioned an online coupon from their website. The location doesn't have the best visibility from Fletcher Parkway. You just need to know it is located right behind the gas station. He even offered me coffee! read more

I have taken my cars here for years, and always received timely and friendly service. A few days ago, I showed up under some time pressure and was swiftly taken care of and sent on my way. Convenience and service are worth the price. read more

With growing kids at home there was a time I had 5 cars to get smog tested and today I still have to get 3 tested. I have been going to this test only station regardless if it required a test only or not because they are friendly and helpful and efficient. Recently I had a friends car and one of my cars fail because a light had been reset after a repair. They gave me guidance as to how many miles it needed to be driven and how it should be driven so the computer in the car can reset. They were super helpful as usual. Don't know how many of my friends have used them but they are always my recommendation. Tim is the person that usually helps me and he is great along with others that I have seen over the years. read more

Very friendly service! They were able to smog my car right away while I waited! Even offered me coffee and water.

I have 3 cars that I have tested at 76 Smog. Very curtious and knowledgeable. I have been going here for years with no complaints and will continue to go. Thank you for the excellent service. read more
