Excellent and fast service with a great price! I'll always come back to this spot for my smogs !

Lee, Dave and Gonzalo at Amerismog are true champions of service. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional, talented and efficient, all of them are dedicated to provide the best smog-check service available. Thank you to all of you for quickly smog checking my diesel motor-home. I am a repeat customer of Amerismog on Lincoln and I refer people there often. Keep up the great work fellas. read more

Came in today for a smog test. The owner is super friendly and was able to test my car right away. Aaaaand, he has a business partnership with the DMV, so I was also able to take care of everything in one spot! It cost a little extra ($25), but it's totally worth it for the convenience! He also provides complimentary drinks (water, soda, coffee, and tea), a really nice touch as you wait the 15 minutes. Will definitely come back the next time I need to get my smog checked. read more

Fast service and staff is helpful!!! Open 7 days a week!!! Works out for people that are busy during the week.

Easily scheduled a next day appointment. In and out in 20 minutes. Recommend them without reservation.

Great service and awesome honest folks at Amerismog! Knowledgeable and trustworthy folks. I took my 2015 Prius in and I was out with new stickers within 20 minutes. Nice rest area inside with A/c and water! I'll be back with my other car! Thank you read more

Great service. Friendly manager. We always use this location for all our vehicles. The shop looks a bit chaotic but don't jet that scare you away. read more

Excellent! Great service from Dave. Super simple, pleasant, and I even got my car registered here! Highly recommend.

This is my second time coming here for my smog check. I would definitely recommend this place! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Easy-to-navigate appointment system which you can book online or through the phone. * Good price and they offer coupons! I used the $10 off coupon I got in the mail but I believe they have a $22 off coupon on yelp/on their website. * Nice service! I think the same man helped me both times and he is very nice. * They give you all the paperwork you need with a list of what is done and the costs upfront. * They offer same day appointments but just call ahead to ask just in case. * Super fast service. Done in less than 20 minutes. Tips: * Book online and you can fill out all of your car's info and add a little note if needed. * There is parking on the side of the building and in the front. I recommend parking in front so you can easily get out. * Make sure you have bring your DMV notice and coupon if you have those. read more

When you forgot you went paperless at the DMV and then missed the whopping two emails they sent you two months apart to notify you about your car registration renewal being due, just go over to Amerismog to get your smog check and get your new tag on the spot for an additional $25. Money well spent for my own oversight, I was driving around on an expired tag for over a month. (I realized it while driving home on a Wednesday, made the appointment online that night, showed up on Thursday morning, got it done. Whew.) read more

supper nice and understanding when explaining please come here no regrets at all money worth

Found them on line. Recommend them great price.Fast and quality work. Very clean shop too.

I love Amerismog and the help and honesty I always receive. I've taken many cars here, but my last experience left my heart happy. I went in for a smog, and the owner let me know it wouldn't be needed, all I had to do is register my vehicle which saved me a ton of money and he did it there! read more

Dave is very nice & helpful, does a great job here. Took 1 hour for my 1993 car because that requires a special machine, but the waiting room is comfortable. Altogether, a painless experience. read more

I feel bad leaving a one-star rating but I didn't exactly have an any-star-worthy encounter soooo I guess it be like that sometimes? Had an appointment last weekend. I have a classic car that's been restored over the last year, and I needed to smog it to get the registration back in order. When we got there, the guy came out and was kinda chastising me because he said he'd tried calling me but I didn't answer. I'd gotten 3 calls earlier that afternoon but didn't answer because it was an unknown number (it was his cell, not the business phone). I told him as much, and said maybe it would be helped if he'd, you know....*left a message*. Anyway, he said the machine for "older vehicles" was broken and he couldn't test my car. And then he said to go to his friend's shop, way across town off San Carlos, and his friend Heux (sp?) there would do the test for $60. He said he'd tell Heux we were coming. I wasn't thrilled about that but whatever, shit happens. We arrived at the other shop and found Heux. We told him that his friend at Amerismog sent us over. His eyes got big and he goes, "Him?!! He's not my friend. He's LAZY!! His machine isn't broken. He just doesn't wanna DO it!!!!" Hahahah gotta admit, I was kinda cracking up. Heux said the other guy just doesn't want to do the work required to smog an older car and he always sends people over to the San Carlos shop to get around it. And then when we told him the $60 part, his reaction was nothing short of comical. I mean, at least it was entertaining. Anyway, Heux said he doesn't have the experience to run the older-car test himself, and wasn't sure he could even do it. I said it's fine, not his fault (and the other guy hadn't let him know we were coming, obviously). So we just cackled a bit and I ended up booking an appointment with Adem's shop a couple days later. But yeah. Odd. read more

great service! fast and friendly plus a free drink! Great location and a yelp deal! Normally painful experience made as good as it gets.

Even though I failed smog They are very thorough and explain everything. They'll match other companies or at least work with you. read more

23 minutes from arrival to departure, smog certificate sent electronically to the DMV. Easy!

My go-to smog shop. Dave's the Man- good ol' hippie who gets you in and out. You can get your tags here too after you pass smog. Probably best to make an appt- but often you can stop by and get worked in. I recommend. Oh yeah, free water or good coffee or soft drink from a good variety+++ read more

Great place. Very affordable pricing. Highly recommend to anyone for their smog tests

super quick and friendly service. the manager was accommodating around forgetting my wallet. he let me call the card number in. scheduling an appointment is a nice feature rather than waiting in a queue read more

Had an appointment for 9 am today,Monday Dec.30th,got text messages to remind me,yet when I got there,place was closed,no one answered phone either! Waited 20 minutes no one showed up! Very unprofessional! read more

They wanted to charge me 130 for a smog and 2hr wait time with only two cars infront of me

This is best smog place in town. I can't say enough about how quick, efficient and qualified AmeriSmog is. Dave is the best and I am so appreciative of this location. Thank you again!!!!! read more

Amerismog was great, they got my smog check taken care of quick and charged a fair price. They even offer dmv services there so if you need a smog to renew car registration you can get tags same day. 100% recommend. read more

I went to AmeriSmog because my usual smog test station was booked and these guys had an appointment available same-day. AmeriSmog was easy and affordable (with the help of the Yelp check-in coupon). Best part was the total character who checked me in and tested my car. He seemed straight out of a Cheech & Chong movie. Nice guy, man... Downside was while the experience was efficient, what it wasn't was luxurious. The waiting area is a couple chairs in a cramped old-school lobby or a couple chairs outside. Was glad to knock out the to-do without a wait. read more

I had another great experience at Amerismog today. We've been going to them for many years. This time I shopped around for a better deal but even with coupons at other places Amerismog still had the best price. Dave made room in his schedule for me even though I didn't have an appointment. And he helped me out with a tire pressure issue free of charge just because he's a nice guy. The building is no frills but the customer service and price is 5 stars. read more

I walked in without an appointment. The rep put me on his schedule (white board), and I was able to get my smog check at the exact time he put me down for. It was convenient they are opened on Sunday, which is rare when it comes to smog checks. The smog check took less than 15 minutes to complete. Also, shoutout to the rep. He was welcoming and was cognizant of how long people were waiting. He was the only person doing the smog check, answer the phone, and completing the transaction. Highly recommend! read more

Did my smog here ! Good service , quick and fast definitely recommended! If anyone in the area need smogs this is the place !

Spur of the moment visit as I needed to get my smog check done on a Saturday. Dave answered my phone call, twice, and upon visiting provided the utmost excellent service, joked a bit and he made the experience and phenomenal visit. He went above and beyond to renew my plates and even provide further support with my questions about the process. Was a quick 20 minutes to get what I needed. Properly equipped store amid covid, gloves and masks were worn. Definitely going back for our vehicular needs. read more

Very unprofessional, one guy that works there is raggedy looking & seems kinda shady. He told me my car didn't pass smog because of my air intake, which happens to be certified carb legal with the sticker indicating directly on the intake. Took the car back yesterday to try & get it sorted out, I saw a different man who essentially told me, because the other guy messed up he wasn't able to help me because & I quote " we can't have two guys working on the same car " I wouldn't trust these guys with a bicycle. read more

Had to take my car for a smog during Covid and everything was handled super quick. Not a fancy place but who needs that? The guy was efficient and got me taken care of within many 15min or less? I went first thing in morning. Place is small and not really up to date but gets the job done. read more

Dave was the best help very patient with me as I forgot everything he would be patient. best smog shop and place to get legal stickers and plates so great ! read more

It was very easy to make an appointment online, and when I arrived for the smog check, I was able to pull right into the garage and they got to work. I was in and out in 15 minutes. The two staff members I interacted with were both friendly and professional. They have a small waiting area with chairs and complementary refreshments. Highly recommend! read more

Doug was 100% zero nonsense and extremely fast. Even with an oversized diesel van, i was back on the road with my paperwork in less than 20min. Super great service, highly recommended! read more

Arrived at before 9am to try to get my smog done first thing in the morning. Business hours listed online and on the business door say it opens at 9am. Waited over an hours and still no one arrived to open shop. Total waste of time! Went to MT smog and was helped as soon as I arrived. Another was waiting with me when I arrived but they had more sense, they waited 15 min after 9 and left. Maybe this place works if you have an appointment. If that's the case they should not offer walk ins. If their hours changed they should be updated. read more

Consistently excellent and efficient service! (I've been coming here for a few years now.) Always a pleasure to work with Dave.

Love this place and the gentle fellow who runs it. This year failed smog and worked with me to advise on what to have checked.

Fast service and very friendly owner. I made an appointment for a morning slot, the night before. No waiting in line. My car was taken right away. Coffee and water are offered in the lobby. read more
