Farhan = Pro Trust Service et cetera . . . Our Fine Pleasure! Nancy Dulberg Bill Dane read more

Made an appointment online, and when I got there early, the technician made time for me soon thereafter anyway. The coupon was honored without me having to show it ($28 total including the CA state certification fee). Everything was perfect! I'm getting an EV, so this is my last smog, but highly recommend. read more

In at my appointment time and out ten minutes later for the agreed upon price. I booked online the day before after figuring out the groupon was not much cheaper than their site. He turned away someone else at my appointment time who pulled in front of me, which I appreciate. read more

Friendly, fast and efficient! The place to go if you need to get smog on your lunch break. The staff is friendly and inviting, they made me feel comfortable about the process and explained the steps as well as the price. read more

Farhan is the real deal. I made an online appointment but called to see if I could get an earlier time and he accommodated me. I was in and out less than 30 minutes. He has a good price (either bring the coupon or book online) and runs a good business. While I was waiting he patiently answered all my questions about smog technology/star certification and other shop talk. He is a small business owner that I will return for future service and bring my friends and family. read more

for the second time in the two year CA cycle for inspection I go to Express Smog Station , owner/operator Farhan, located at 1199 San Pablo Av, in Berkeley, one block N of Gilman, behind Gilman Motors.510-525-8600.xpressmog.com. First visit Farhan finds I need to reset my computer on my 4runner due to a recent jump start. He tells me how to reset it by driving several times at 25mph for 3 to 5 minute trips. Next day I do that next day and the truck is now reset. He performs the test in fifteen minutes, charges me 38.00, including DMV fee, 29.75x plus 8.25 , which is the lowest I have found in Berkeley.He offers a discount coupon on line for this price, and online or by phone scheduling so there is no wait. Farhan is relaxed, pleasant,smart, and quick. The reset routine he gave me was better than one I had tried prior. Very helpful. Highly recommend. read more

Mr.Farhan is extremely polite and professional. The location is set back from the street, so while you wait (very quick!) you don't feel like you're in the middle of San Pablo Avenue traffic. I dropped-in, so the price was higher than coupons or arrangements in other comments, but to be treated honestly (compared to the competition a block south) and serviced straightaway was worth the extra to me at that moment. read more

I had a very pleasant experience at Xpress SmogTest today in Berkeley, CA. I printed the coupon off line, called and made a 1:20 appt... I appreciate great customer service when it happens because customer service now days can be horrible, and it has been in certain places. The gentleman honored the coupon without fuss, or hidden agendas. He started the smog test and we were out the door in 10 minutes or less. It's so nice to deal with a friendly and professional business. I highly recommend this place. Amazing Service! Thank you so much! read more

Wow this place was wonderful. There was a super polite gentleman working and he was incredibly helpful. My car was having an issue with the computer chip and struggling to pass smog. He told me reasons I was failing and how to reset my chip. He didn't charge me until I passed the smog, which took 3 tries. Had great availability and super fast service time. I will always go here while I live in the area. read more

Apparently this smog place in Berkeley sent me an E-mail at 9:45am (as I was driving, about halfway there) to inform me my 10:00am appointment had been rescheduled to noon . When I got there I was informed by an employee that they didn't have the keys and could not open and could I come back later. Wasted trip read more

Express Smog Station - Express smog station - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Berkeley, California

If in need of a smog check, do not hesitate to come to Express Smog Station! Farhan runs an incredibly efficient and smooth business with exemplary customer service. Appointments and text reminders are all booked and generated instantly after online scheduling. I showed up at the end of my workday for my time slot with only my vehicle. Farhan was ready and waiting. He had me fill out a couple lines of paperwork, ran the car on the smog machine, and had me in and out in under 15 minutes. Overall cost without tip was under $30 with no coupon - among the cheapest I have seen. Very happy that I chose this location to painlessly cross off one of my to-do list items! read more

I found this emissions testing service to be the best value for my old truck. The tech owner, Farhan was courteous and thorough.

A++++ Could not have been better. Don't hesitate. Everybody dreads the smog check but this was painless. The entire experience was efficient, friendly, comfortable and exactly as promised on their website. Saw there clear signs, drove up as first customer this morning, appointment started on time, sat in a comfortable place to fill out name and contact information, walked 4 minutes to buy a pastry and back, paid and drove away. It was sent to DMV electronically and I had a paper certificate. Thank you. See you again in two years. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! Lowest price I have found in the east bay (i called 20 places, some cost up to $90), fast service, the attendant was super nice & he even inspected my car for free! Everyone should get their car tested here. xpressmog.com is their website which is very helpful too read more

Farhan, the owner, is super nice and accommodating! I ran in on a Sunday afternoon without an appointment, and I was done and on my way again within 20 minutes. He is NOT joking when he says "express"! My total was $45 with the Yelp coupon + tip. If you're like me and don't carry cash, ask him to add the tip on when he's charging the card. He also offers a 1 free re-test option, so make sure to ask about that, too! Whether you have an old car, a new car, a regular car, or a hybrid car, Farhan is certified to check them all, so save some precious time (I'm looking at you, DMV) and get your smog check done here. read more

This is the best deal you're going to find in the Bay Area for smog tests, staff is friendly and helpful!

The only thing I'm disappointed about is that I did not get the name of the gentleman who helped me today. He was extremely courteous and helpful. I had an appointment for 9:30 am. He greeted me when I drove up, and answered all my questions in an easy, polite manner. He completed the job in 10 minutes! He told me the smog check is supposed to be every 2 years. He honored my coupon and explained the price breakdown. He had the energy of someone who takes pride in their work. No airs or attitude here, just good old fashioned customer service from one human to another. THANK YOU. I will definitely come back again and encourage everyone to give this location a try! read more
