I came here just earlier today thinking I needed a SMOG test for my Altima, but I was promptly told that I only need my car tested every two years. I'm from overseas so I was unaware (my fault), thank you for saving me a few bucks EZ Star Smog Test - it's appreciated! read more

Best smog check ever! Why? Well, I woke up this morning and needed a smog check. Hopped on YELP and found this place right down the street. Pulled up and was helped right away by a gentleman named Hassan. The smog check took no longer than 10 minutes and once he gave me the bill to pay, I said to him "wow, that was quick and I'm glad I found you on YELP!". Hassan replied "oh, you found me on YELP? Here's the YELP price of $35". My original amount was for $70!!! half off woo-hoo! I definitely recommend going here for smog checks and make sure to give them a YELP review. read more

Great price, fast and friendly service, gave tips on how to get enough data on the computer when I brought in my car too soon after getting serviced. Thank you! read more

I went in this morning with no appointment and was helped within minutes. Great locally owned shop and great people. If you need a hassle-free smog test this is the place to go. read more

Great service. Quick service. I was on DMV waiting for my turn. Meanwhile i quickly came here and had a quick smog test. Excellent service. read more

Hassan was very friendly, professional, and a pleasure to be smogged by! Will definitely return. Very good experience and nearby to 3 different places for coffee. Highly recommended! read more

Fast and quick service. I needed the smog certificate for DMV renewal and was looking for places around. That's when I came across EZ Smog's Berkeley location. Trust me, for $25, you can't beat the price and can't put a price tag on the friendly staff. "Hassan" is the man to go to. Thanks Hassan. Keep it up . read more

This is really about as pleasant of an experience as you could hope for. I called the guy about 30 minutes before they closed to see if they could still take me, even though I said I was 10 minutes out. He gladly said he would stay open for me and did. When ringing me up, I mentioned that I had seen the coupon online for a $25 smog check and he seemed genuinely happy for me not having to spend the $80 or so that it would cost without a coupon. Didn't even have to pull up the coupon. Keep in mind, the coupon is supposed to be cash only though, but he was lenient on that. Great experience, I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Friendly and kind service. Process of getting smog was easy and convenient. Make sure to bring cash if you are using the coupon.

These guys were friendly, honest, and helpful, contrary to some of the other reviews. I'll use them again for sure.

Great place to get your smog checked, I have become a regular customer and recommend to all my family members. Great guy who does the test as well! read more

No wait time at all (except for, of course, the testing itself). $15 cheaper than any other quote I received with a cash only coupon I found online. Technician Hassan Kaanoune was jovial and helpful, reminded me that AAA can register one's vehicle faster than DMV (which I knew, but I appreciated the 5-star customer service). If for any reason one did have to wait, there's a Dollar Tree across the street and a Whole Foods about a block away (and T-Rex BBQ and Ashkenaz if you need to dance off your eats). There's no reason to go anywhere else! read more

Highly recommend EZ Star Smog Test. Their price was great and the service was fast. Staff was friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely come back. read more

I normally don't write review, but today I take my car to EZ Star Smog Test Only 2 and I'm glad I did. They provide excellent service and the price is right. If your car need smog check, I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED take your car to this shop. They even briefly check your car and make suggestions. You also receive a small free gift too. read more

I will definitely return and recommend this test center. The quality of customer service was better than what I receive at most restaurants. I also had some information explained about my car which was both useful and interesting. I'll see you in two years! read more

This is the best place for smog test. Very honest and friendly owner. Definitely you save your time and money. I highly recommend this place for smog test. read more

Second time going to this shop. The process was painless and Ümit was very helpful and gave me useful advice, def recommend getting your smog checked here. read more

Found this place on Groupon, such a great deal! Says you need to make an appointment, but as soon as I called the owner was available to do smog check. Took all of 20 mins. Highly recommend! read more

Totally lagged on getting my car smog so needed to find a place really fast. Found on Yelp while at work so went right after work to get car smog. As I was driving from emeryville to Berkeley, I noticed a bunch of other smog places hoping I choose the right one. Once I arrived said it would take about 15 min which it did. When I told them about the $26.75 Yelp deal, the guy was like yeah that's if you pay in cash. Wtf?! Must have went on the wrong, charged me $35 something dollars and went on my way. Boo read more

Efficient service, 5-min wait though i had no appointment. Good work.

Great service, very fast and efficient! Love this place. They're so kind and professional. 10/10 recommend

I went to this location last week on Wednesday morning. I was greeted by a courteous owner, Umit Alis, who immediately told me what would happen in the next few minutes. Within a short time, he instructed me to move my car to the test station, and in a short period of time, the test was completed and passed. He invited me to return and assured me I wouldn't need a coupon next time. The price was very reasonable and I was pleased with the service. A good place to get your smog test, highly recommended. read more

Great service, fair price and fast. I called Umit in the morning and was able to bring the car in the afternoon.

This is a very good place to get a smog check. He is very professional. He took only 20 mins to smog my car 2007 hybrid camry. And he also very kind and polite. Trust me if you guys try to find a very good place to get a smog check paper. read more

Fast friendly service BUT confirm price. Went in after seeing Yelp discount for 26.75. Was told $99! Paid $55

Acceptable price. Pleasant, kind, fast, upfront. All the things you want in a smog place. Will be back next year.

Highly recommended business. Umit provided excellent service. He was efficient, and had me in and out within 10 minutes. I had a coupon for $15.75 plus $8.25 if I paid cash and if I passed the smog. I passed the smog test, paid $24 and was on my way all within about 15 minutes. Definitely will be returning for my next smog test. read more

This was a great experience. Fast, courteous, thorough service, and Hassan's friendliness makes this a great place to do business with. I definitely plan on returning. Note: Bring cash for smog test. read more

Excellent. I had an appointment, but another customer was being helped when I arrived so I had to wait a few minutes. I didn't catch the employee's name, but he was very nice. They have two chairs inside the garage for customers. The test took about 15 minutes. I used a Groupon and the total was $8.25. I will be coming back next time I need a smog check. read more

I purchased a Groupon for a smog check because I was in the area and their Groupon states: "This merchant sometimes offers a temporarily discounted price online. This voucher is still the lowest price deal available."That, however is a lie. First time I came in, their system was down. I was promised a call back when the system was back up, but I never received a call. I returned anyways because of the groupon. Once I was able to do the smog check my car wasn't ready because of a recent repair and I need a retest. BUT, I was told explicitly that the retest was not free BECAUSE this was a Groupon purchase, but there was NO mention on Groupon site that retests aren't free. Not only is their a lower cost coupon on their website, but every other Smog shop I've been to retests for free and there is no mention of this restriction in their Groupon ad. I absolutely feel taken advantage of and intend to report to BBB. read more

Very Fast, super easy, and cheap. Made an appointment and Got the yelp deal. The owner is a funny character

Place was fast, professional, and friendly. They had one concern, but luckily yens auto was next door to help figure there was not a problem, which was very convenient. Recommended for easy smog check . read more

So I walk up and asked the gentleman how much for a smog check. He said $80.00. I said "no thanks". Then he replied "I can take 20 off". Still no thanks!!! I got on yelp and found a place on university and 7th for 30 bucks. This place is a rip off. First of all have a set price. 80 dollars is way too much. read more

Wow!! Talk about great service! Hassan was my technician and I tell you, he really did an awesome job! He even offered me a chair to sit while I waited. Check out their website because they have coupons that save you money. I highly recommend this place to get your smog needs. Your in and out quickly. I came in the same day 30 mins before they closed and still managed to fit me in. I didn't even need an appointment. My car passed with flying colors so I'm sure that was what added to the speedy testing. Definitely coming back here for my other cars as well as 2 years when I need to get my car smogged again. Already told my friends and family, if you need great service at a great price! read more

Took my car here to get smogged, and it couldn't have been smoother. I didn't catch the inspector's name, but he was courteous, informative, and friendly. I had a groupon which was accepted of course with ease. If you need your car smogged, this spot's a great choice. read more

Perfect service and fair price. Umit has completed Smog Test within 15 min and provided useful advice regarding my car. Umit is very professional and I will do my next Smog Test at EZ Star for sure! read more

I just got my car smogged at EZ Star Smog and could not have had a better experience. I was promptly greeted when I arrived and during our check out I had the pleasure of dealing with the Jr. manager in training. He is a sharp young man and I look forward to bringing him my next car for a smog. read more

I received my notice from the DMV to get my license renewed and that I needed to have my smog checked. Of course, I wait until the very last moment to do this. This place is first come, first serve so I got there on a Saturday morning in case there would be a wait. No wait at all. It took all of 10 minutes and I was outta there. The person who did the check was very nice. I had a coupon from one of the ValPaks and the total was $25 out the door. I will definitely be coming back here for when I need to get my car smogged again. read more

Hassan is very efficient and friendly. If you need a smog, this is the place to go.

Good service. Came in on Saturday morning. The test was very fast and reasonable priced
