Fast and friendly! Made an appointment online, drove in, filled out the paperwork, paid, and was out in 10 mins.

Always quick and painless! I've been going there for years to get my older car smogged and have never had any problems.

I came in today without an appointment and was taken care of immediately! I feel so bad for forgetting the gentleman that helped me but dang was he friendly. I can't get over the amazing service. Fast and funny. Thanks so much, mystery helper! I hope you have a great time in Ireland in august and sorry you couldn't make it to Breck this year! Also loved the touch with the happy smogging napkin and chocolate treat!! read more

Berkeley Smog Test Only Center - Kidding me?! Day made! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Berkeley, California

Just had my smog done here. Really great service. Efficient. I got my deal from LivingSocial/Groupon for like $20. Made an appointment online. Was in and out of here in 20 minutes. You have to pay the state certificate fee (8.25) separately from LivingSocial price. $28.25 ain't a bad price for smog read more

Super easy and quick smog and registration renewal service here! Booked my appt on their website in the same day, actually showed up a bit earlier than my appt time, and I was out in less than 15 minutes with my new registration tags, too! Highly recommend. Thanks so much for providing a top notch service. read more

They moved locations, but it took like 5 minutes to get smog done. Still great!

Fast, efficient, and affordable STAR certified smog check for my 2005 Acura TL. I registered, had my car tested, and left with my certificate in about 5 minutes (with reservation). Highly recommended! read more

This place was easy to find and was such a quick and easy appointment. I made my appointment online and everything was done within 10 minutes. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get a quick smog check. They also provide license plates and registration stickers so it's a perfect one stop shop. read more

Jessie was great! Paying for a VIN verification through him was worth the $60, over sitting in line for hours at the DMV. Smog check was also done in about 10 minutes. Easy peasy. He also gave me information that the DMV didn't on paperwork that I would need to do my registration. CA DMV fail. Jessie FTW!! Thank you! read more

Quick, thorough, excellent customer service, explained everything quite well. Have used them before and I am always impressed with their service. read more

I couldn't have been more pleased by the service I received at Berkeley Smog Test Only Center! I made my appointment online, showed up a few minutes before my appointment time. There were two people ahead of me (one with an appointment and one without). The service was friendly, fast, and efficient! Myself and the two guys ahead of me were out of there in minutes! Then, when I got in the car to drive home, I found a little chocolate and a napkin on my instrument panel as a thank you!!! I would definitely recommend their service and will use them again! read more

I have been bringing my car here for many years. They are outstanding. Jessie is a great guy and very professional. I am lucky to have found him. Bring your car here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Make a reservation in advance. They are super efficient. Notice the new location entrance if you've been to the earlier location. Gentleman at the front was remarkably cold, but I'm still going back as I don't need friendly at a smog check. I won't try to make any small talk next time! read more

Excellent, very attentive, friendly, fast and yummy tacoswill recommend to everyone for

Scheduled appt online, showed up and was done immediately w friendly service. Would highly recommend

Super fast, friendly, and helpful. And the best price I found. I will be a repeat customer now. Thanks!

Always great. Easy to schedule, fast, efficient. They deal with sending the DMV paperwork in. Special deal online for my older car. Weird to love a smog check station, but I do. read more

I've been here twice now for two smog checks, and both times were great. Friendly staff, easy online scheduling, and efficient service. In and out in 15 minutes. The very affordable Groupon they typically offer makes it a screaming deal. Thanks! read more

I've been coming here for periodic smog tests for years, and will be back again. The service is outstanding and warm, the scheduling is simple and reliable, and it's an outstanding value. And that was all true even before they started having a very good taco truck parked in front! This place is great and highly recommended. read more

Very easy, fair, professional. I was a walk-in so I was a little nervous, but I didn't have to wait at all. Paperwork was fast and process was efficient. Cost was slightly less than I expected. Report was sent to DMV immediately. The gentleman there was nice. read more

I loved my entire Smog Test experience! My favorite one yet! Everyone was really nice including the other happy customers waiting AND there is a slamming taco truck in the parking lot to enjoy lunch as you wait! Thanks ya'll!!! read more

Repeat customer. Great service. Quick and efficient. Friendly and helpful. Easy to schedule online. Excellent Groupon deal. Recommended.

Very convenient to be able to get both Smog and VIN verification in one place! They had both done in about 15 min, couldn't be easier! read more

Friendly and convenient place to do the smog test. The waiting area was small but pleasant, even during a heat wave. Groupon was a great deal! I recommend getting an appointment. I was in and out in 10 minutes because there was no line. read more

These guys rock! Needed to get my lady's car smogged, and she told me that she had been here before to pass the smog test. I called the shop, and Jesse gave me a discounted quote over the phone. As soon as I got home to get the car, I decided to look on Yelp for any type of discount. Sure enough, the online coupon brought price down even more. Jesse was there to greet me, and the smog test was painless. He took care of the test almost as quickly as I filled out the paper work. Jesse is professional, super quick, and their prices are great! He also left a mint and napkin on my dash, you should stop by for all your smog needs! read more

Went in early Tuesday morning, passed, in and out in 10mins. Great Service. Person before me didn't pass, the attendant gave helpful suggestions on where to go. read more

Fast, friendly, professional service- convenient to book, and right on time. Jesse was easy to talk to, answered questions, and very human. I wish all service was this easy and reasonable! read more

This place was INCREDIBLE. Go here. I moved and the DMV never updated my address in their records. It was early June and one day panicked I had to pay my registration. I spent way too much time at the DMV only for them to let me know I needed a smog test and if I passed, needed to come back, wait in line again, etc. My nightmare. I made a same-day appointment at the Berkeley Smog Test Only Center. My smog test was started right on time and I learned that for $25 they'd process my DMV paperwork for me. I got my sticker that same day and they even left a Godiva caramel on my steering wheel. It was the best, best smog testing experience I've literally ever had. And the person running the operation was so friendly. read more

The first time I was here, it took Jessie about 20 minutes to transfer the title, register my vehicle and do a smog check. This time it took about 15 minutes for the smog check. I made an appointment online and saved $20. Jessie is the nicest guy and you cannot ask for a more efficient person. Zero problems and a taco truck to boot! This is my place. Thanks, Jessie. I'd give you more than 5 stars if I could. read more

Great, quick smog check and DMV service! Made an appointment the day before for $20 off which pretty much paid for DMV service. The smog check took about 10 minutes after I gave them the keys, and the DMV service took about another 5 and had me done for the year. Overall, it was about a 20 minute trip. Also very friendly service! read more

We had a super-easy, speedy, and inexpensive experience bringing our 2005 Subaru Forester to Berkeley Smog Test Only yesterday. On Tuesday night, 10/2/19, I bought a Groupon certificate for $23. Newer cars (2011+) cost only $19. There's no extra charge for an SUV or truck. The smog certificate that's sent to the state costs an additional $8.25. This was the cheapest price I found anywhere, and as a repeat customer, I knew I was in good hands. The Groupon offer suggests going to the Berkeley-smog.com website to make an appointment (you can also drop in). I made an appointment for 10:00 Wednesday morning and was taken right on time. The service was friendly and efficient, and we were in and out in about 10 minutes--with two Ghirardelli chocolates! Highly recommended. read more

I had a great experience at Berkeley Smog Only Test Center! Fast and friendly. I highly recommend!!

Great service and quick!! Note their new location. Thanks too for their postcard reminder and 20% discount.

Great Service! By appointment only Arrived 15 min early, only two other vehicles were ahead of me. The guy was super quick and acknowledged me every time he walked pass to let me know the wait time. Was very friendly. Once the car was in the garage it was out in 10 min. A cute surprise was left on my dash... Ghirardelli Chocolates! read more

Came here for a smog test and to pay for my vehicle registration. The smog test was barely took any time at all and I don't think I'm ever going to pay for my registration at the DMV office or in the mail again. This was hands down one of the fastest services I've ever received. Plus the tacos in the same parking lot are really good! read more

Fast and easy to redeem Groupon deal. Just set an appointment online. Happy customer.

Fantastic experience. Quick in and out (10 minutes), no wait, knowledgeable worker. Definitely recommend.

Super fast (I think I was in and out of there in 10 minutes), very courteous & professional, and best of all... there was a chocolate waiting for me on my armrest :) Easy, on-line appointment scheduling too. Highly recommend! read more

Just got back from a trip here with my Dad to get his car a smog check, and we had a perfectly smooth experience. I found out about this place through Yelp, and I was so happy to have been able to get the Groupon for this ($29 for the smog check, which is $11 less than the check-in deal that gives you a smog check for $40). I think it's great that you can book an appointment online and that they send you one email confirmation at the time you make the appointment, and then another reminder email the day before you're supposed to come in. I set one for 8:45 am this morning (yes, on a SATURDAY!), and my Dad and I got here at around 8:50. You park your car up front and then head through the door to the left of the open work space marked "Customer Lobby." There are five chairs in the waiting area and a couple outside. Even though you're technically indoors, it's still drafty so I would advise you to bring a jacket on cold days or a bottle of cold water on hot ones. Plenty of magazines available, but the whole smog check took under 30 minutes so don't expect to get through many articles. We were greeted when we walked in and all I had to do was give my name, the appointment time, and I also handed over a printed copy of the Groupon, but I'm sure showing it on your phone through the app would also suffice. The man at the front gave my dad a clipboard and a small form to fill out: Customer's Name Address City, State, Zip Code Phone Email Date Year, Make, Model Vin No License Plate No Odometer Reading After he filled it out and turned it in, we waited about 15-20 minutes and were told that the car had passed - woohoo! It's and additional $8.25 for the certificate, but that's not bad since we got such a deal through the Groupon (a full-priced check is normally $61.70). Since it takes about 24 hours for the smog check test results to register with the DMV, my dad and I will probably finish up the online vehicle registration process tomorrow. We had a great experience and the two Ghirardelli milk chocolate and caramel squares, and two smiley face napkins, was such a SWEET touch. Berkeley Smog Test Only Center is highly recommended! read more
