I always come here for my smog tests. They are fast and efficient, and not very expensive. I usually don't even make an appointment.

The smog test was fast, and the service was friendly. And they had a Groupon. What more do you want in a smog test center?

Ask the Community - Berkeley Smog Test Only Center

Are retests free? I'm seeing conflicting info in the reviews

I have no idea. Best thing to do is call them or swing by. I've always passed on the first test. Really great company. Honest and transparent.

Is this a STAR location?

Yes, per their website (https://www.berkeley-smog.com): "We are a STAR-certified "test only" station - we don't do repairs."

I believe I was helped by Jessie and he was great and helped me get an older vehicle to pass smog very affordably.

North Oakland, Rockridge

The first time I went to this place, I thought my life had changed for the better because I would…read morenever have to go to the DMV for anything car-related. That day I had sold a car, needed a new pink slip for it, and needed to update the registration on my work vehicle. Everything was great and worth every penny, which is about $25-50 beyond the DMV fees. Then I had a problem with the car I sold because it was in an accident. I needed to prove to my insurance carrier that I sold the car, but I had misplaced all of the paperwork from my first visit. So I went back hoping to get help. I told the person behind the protective glass what happened, thinking I had gotten a paper from them showing that I did not own the car anymore. I didn't know that they don't even process that part of the sale. Now mind you, I did not demand anything or ask them why they didn't do something. I just said that I was unfamiliar with the terms and what should I do with the form she gave me to fill out. I had never sold a car before. This person said to me, "Ma'am, that's why I asked you if you needed [insert more terms I don't understand]!" And I said, "I was thinking that was the paper I got with the blue stamp." That person says, "We don't issue forms with a blue stamp" all while glaring at me. Oh my. I wanted to cry. I broke up with the DMV just to get into a worse business relationship with this place. I would've happily given them twice their fees because I don't like the clients at the DMV and you have to be around those menaces for hours every time you go there. I would rather deal with the DMV now than go back to this place. I am appalled at how I was treated, especially when the man who I dealt with on the phone was so professional and had answers to everything I asked about what I needed to get done. I even told my friends on social media what a great experience I had the first time. I have definitely retracted that statement. What a shame. I really, really wanted to like this place.

Very responsive. Very helpful…read moreI could get my moving permit in time to pick up car. The staff is very friendly. I will go there for my DMV stuff. I don't mind paying to skip the line from DMV.
