SCAMMERS!! I took my Lexus SUV over to get a smog check because I got a coupon thinking it would only $60. $31.75+8.25+$20 extra since my car is a luxury and SUV. But they say they have to charge $20 for every thing your car has listed. I'm reporting this place to the Bureau of Automotive repair because they are scammers! Demonte was the "manager on duty" and scams his customers. Don't go to this place! I event asked Gemini before I went to get on to make sure I wouldn't get scammed and it agreed with me getting scamed.

Waiting area

Albert gave me the best price and smog tech was super fast and efficient 10/10 Location had neat waiting area filled with vintage items

Micro-manage much? I felt like a 7 year old under the disapproving stare of my parent when I was a kid just being a kid. I barely parked my car and the manager came out and asked me to correct my parking as I wasn't within the lines (guilty!). It got worse. I got scolded to taking a look at the smog check screen while my car was being smogged (guilty!) and was also asked more than once to hang out inside the waiting room (guilty with an explanation: I opted to hang out outside when the technician could not figure out how to turn off my car alarm). Aside my from less than satisfactory interaction with the manager, my smog check went well. Damonte multi-tasked smogging my car and another car in the 2 bay shop and got it done. Note this shop has online coupons and a USPS mail marketing campaign offering a discount for returning customers. In other words, no need to pay posted prices. Google is a friend to your wallet/purse. Smog certificate price is separate from smog check price (standard no matter which shop you go to) and an unannounced 3% upcharge if you pay via credit card that I noticed on my receipt after payment. I smogged an Acura but didn't get dinged on a luxury tax other Yelp reviewers complained about. I've had multiple cars previously smogged at this shop but might look elsewhere the next time around. To me, customer service is equally important as the service itself.

False Advertising Coupon

False advertising and bait-and-switch tactics by A Smog company. They advertised a cash deal coupon for $31.75 plus an $8.25 certificate. When I called to verify and described my small vehicle, I was quoted a total of $60, to be paid in cash. However, upon arrival, the price was increased to $80 cash. This discrepancy, despite my small car and the initial verification, indicates dishonest practices and false advertising. I find this approach unacceptable and prefer to support local, honest businesses. The experience was unpleasant and waste of my time.

Great smog shop in Pleasanton. In and out in 15 mins on a Friday morning. $39 for everything including certificate fee for a 2014 Corolla and non star directed. I highly recommend

They have at least one station operating at all times, and the smog check takes just a few minutes.

Ask the Community - A Smog Shop

If my car doesn't pass smog, should I be billed for the smog certificate?

No you shouldn't

How much is Smog Test for 09 Toyota Corolla?

I paid $48 for my '13 Honda Pilot. Shouldn't be any more than that I suppose

Is Walk (drive)-In available? Do I need to call for an appointment in advance?

I was a walk-in the last time I used them (about 2 months ago). They were super fast!
