Very friendly quick service. I will definitely be back and bringing my cars he again. I swear I was in and out in less than a half an hour for my older 95 Mazda pickup truck. Thanks again. read more

$40 smog. In and out in under 20 minutes. Can't beat that! Call ahead to make sure there aren't too many cars or you might wait longer.

For a woman who doesn't do any car repair, I was recommended by a friend to come here and best decision ever. He's fast, easy and super nice. I will always come here now. I am telling all my friends to go to him. read more

Hes name is Lim first time i went there he estimated my waiting time 10 min for Smog test, and not even 10 min hes Done ! Highly Recommended!!!5stars read more

Genuine service! I come here every time my car is due for a smog. As a female for some reason I would get attitude from other shops or feel uncomfortable. It's always fast and professional here. He's efficient and quick. If the car doesn't pass he's honest with what it needs and I appreciate that. This is my spot and I will be back. read more

I'm so glad I found this place, and definitely after 'shopping around' to compare prices. Out of curiosity, I asked a gas station mechanic how much it would be for a smog check at their place.. $69.99 -- NOT INCLUDING DMV E-TRANSFERS -- No thanks! Quick no low balling smog service, this is where it's at, ya'll. read more

Love this place. Straightforward, cheap, friendly, effortless, no fuss, no muss smog checks. What more could you ask for? Price is usually $20 cheaper than the other places I called, and the wait was short ( less than 15 minutes). Just in case, I usually try and bring something to read as there were two others waiting behind me when I finished with flying colors. I would be a "regular" here if I could, but I don't own enough cars! =) Directions? Be forewarned that for first time customers, the building where Just Smog is located is tucked behind the Valero Gas Station, so if driving on A Street westbound, be sure to make a right into the driveway right BEFORE the Valero Gas on the corner. If you miss it, just drive into the Valero, and try to drive around the back of the Valero station. Bingo.. you'll find Just Smog at the end of the building in the parking lot behind the Valero. Decor: This isn't some fancy restaurant, but rather a bare-bones smog place, so don't expect anything other than a couple of orange chairs to sit on, and some greasy looking concrete. The friendly, efficient service by V totally makes it worth the trip! Didn't see Tyson the doggy this trip though. =( read more

Quick, easy, affordable, honest. Couldn't ask for more, found my new go-to smog place!

This place is definitely a hidden gem...literally speaking. It is hidden among several other establishments. If you drive too fast down A St., you will miss the entrance. I took my car in for a smog test...in and out in 10 minutes!!! read more

Quick and easy smog service. The guy even knew some details about my car and the work I did and showed some appreciation about it. I'll be back for my next smog check. read more

Been going here for years. He is quick and he is a cool laid back type of guy. Thanks brah for your professionalism thru out the years. You like family to me. Take Care and God bless you. read more

Smog test. This is the place. The guy was great, polite and engaging. Doesn't hurt that he was handsome to look at. The price was the beat in the area. read more

Here is a concise review on what to expect. Garage closest to street on the left side. Tell the dude you need a smog check. Wait like 5 minutes for the dude to get to you if he's doing another car. Wait while he does your car. Pay like 20-40 bucks (forgot exactly how much it was somewhere in that price range it was cheap tho. Don't worry because...) Go to dmv to waste your dang time there. But yeah dude its like, just smog lmfao read more

Here's the short and sweet: -Owner came out and greeted me promptly as I pulled in front of the garage. -Asked me about my day and what I needed. SMOG!!! -Done in less than 15 mins or however long Starbucks took... -Professional, courteous, and trustworthy. Has earned my business and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend my own family and friends here... read more

I like this place. Vi, the owner is friendly, and has you in and on your way in a short while. It is busy Saturday mornings, otherwise, quantity service, ethical, and a fair price. read more

Just Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Hayward, California

For $40, it's the most inexpensive smog i know u the East Bay. The gentleman was polite. I was out if there in less than 10 minutes. I'll definitely recommend this to friends and families. read more

Can't echo enough what was already said here. as far as smog places go this place is WAY above average. so much so that I thought worth my time to review them too. tl;dr if you need a smog test, go here. $40. done. now I've had really baaad experiences with smogging a car. Between the 'free' place i went to the last time in South Oakland that was all kinds of sketchy, and the expensive place the time before in Uptown that seemed like I was paying for more 'amenities' than needed, i didn't really know what to expect here (beyond Yelp reviews). It's nice when Yelp reviews are accurate. i was in and out in maybe 10 minutes. No sales pitch, no TV, no coffee, no comfy couch in a fancy waiting room, just a couple chairs to sit in and i never lost sight of my car felt unsafe or like this was a bigger PITA than needed to be. The technician was personable and easy to communicate to and even made an effort at smalltalk while things were processing. great job! read more

Honest with great customer service. My go to place for smog. I'm fortunate to have been referred by a couple of friends who regularly go to Lim. Of all the smog test stations I have been for years, Just Smog has been the best. You can feel confident you will not be hustled. read more

Pulled up .. drove in .. stood aside and out we went with a passed smog ! Very nice guy . Watch it on "A street " comes up on you quick . read more

This guy is the best ! I'm selling my Mom's car and needed a smog check to sell it. He took care of the smog check fast and professionally. His prices are super reasonable too !!! Cheaper than any other shop that I've been too in the bay area. read more

Stopped by for a smog check, so busy that I was never acknowledged. Ended up going to another inspection facility

Came here to get a smog check for my car. Called ahead of time and got a friendly answers for my questions compared to many other places I called and got extremely rude and impatient answers. I am extremely satisfied with the survive here! It was quick, even though I had to wait 45 minutes due to the line (which is understandable able since this place is so great!) the owner was just really friendly and professional. He finished quickly and was so nice! Definitely recommend this place and I will definitely return myself. The price is amazing and affordable and the service was great what better place to ask for? read more

True customer service is still alive at Just Smog! My usual smog place was mysteriously closed when I arrived, so I went online and found Just Smog nearby - what a lucky find! The Just Smog technician was super friendly and pleasant, and he almost immediately realized that my car was not ready to pass. He could have easily put my car through the test, wasted my time, and taken my money, but instead he explained and showed me the issue, and told me to come back when it was fixed. I was really impressed by his integrity, and actually look forward to bringing my car back! read more

Good dude. Courteous, friendly, no nonsense service. AND $40 smog check for my Honda Civic! As long as things don't change, this guy, this place has my business for life! read more

You can't get any better than this from a smog shop!! 5 Stars! I just had my car smogged at Just Smog today. A little wait, but worth it. The guy was cool and nice (he even offered a slice of pizza while I waited!!!! +5 stars for that alone). The service was courteous and friendly. It only took about 25 minutes or so start to finish. $50 out the door. Can't beat the service. Beware of the bum in the orange jacket roaming the parking lot! I see the same guy at the Chevron and Albertsons down the street all the time at night. Looks like he migrates over here during the day. read more

Just Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Hayward, California

Amazing. Super fast. Cheap. All of the other reviews are 100% accurate. I literally can't believe how nice this fellow was from talking to me when I pulled up, getting me in, telling me my quote, to getting the test done. He even backed the car out a bit to make it easy for me to get back on the road. Hey, it's a nice touch. If you need a smog, this is your spot. read more

I've been going to Just Smog for over ten years. I've never made an appointment but I've never had to wait more then a few minutes to get service. Lim is very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this place. read more

I happened across this place because the shop that was recommended to me wasn't available. I couldn't be more satisfied. Had a great chat with Lim and the whole process was fast and painless. The price was painless too. Highly recommended. read more

Got a DMV registration renewal notice and required to take it that a "Star Station" to perform the smog check. Found Just Smog and took it in for a smog in the morning. No line to wait and V(the tech) got the smog check done in less than 10 minutes. I will highly recommend this place for your next smog check requirement. read more

Just Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Hayward, California

I didn't expect the Smog Certification Required notice along with my registration renewal, and added the dreaded task to my never ending list of to-do's. After a quick Yelp search, I came across Just Smog and based on all of the great reviews decided to try it out. Like the reviews say, Lim is definitely a cool guy. Although, said famous pitbull was nowhere to be found, hehe. =o) My car was smogged, passed and my certificate was electronically transmitted to DMV, and all for $40! Gotta love a paperless trail. =) Also, the night before I noticed that my left headlight had burnt out and I decided to pick up a new bulb before heading over for the smog. Lim was awesome enough to replace my bulb too! If you need a smog, definitely check out Just Smog. Ooh, and they're located just across the street from Ray's sushi too! Thanks to Yelp for yet another great find. read more

I nearly fell out of my chair when I received my registration this year stating I had to do a smog before I can receive my new sticker. Why, do you ask? Because my dad was a mechanic and he took care of the smog on my old car, but with his new position, I'm on my own. My friend told me about Just Smog, it wasn't too far off the path I take to work and I contacted V to inquire/confirm when he opens shop in the morning. By the way, yelp is correct, it is 800a I went in, I believe on a Monday morning and admittedly I am good at directions but bad with looking for places so I thought I'd get lost but it's basically squashed in between a number of spots. I got there and I was the first one, if not one of the first customers and he told me to pull up. I never know what I'm doing, so I pulled up and jumped out of the car. V took care of the rest, plugging the thing into the car, and doing whatever is required for a smog for my car to pass. After that, it seemed my car passed. Printed the paperwork. Paid the smog check fee and bid V good bye, till the next time I get that notice. It took.... What... like ten minutes at most? Before it took like 20, and had to go on xyz machine and stick a prong up its.... Nevermind. He has one of those cool staplers that doesn't require staples but instead cuts a little bit of the paper and then loop it back so it stays together. Super quick, convenient, affordable and uber (as in 'really') friendly service. What more can you ask for? I'm taking my car back each time. Longest story ever shortened: DO YOUR SMOG HERE. Period. Cheers! read more

Thanks all Yelpers for helping me find this cool establishment. $40.00 with certificate is a screaming deal for a smog check. Was in and out in under 20 mins. Will be back in 2 yrs! read more

Very nice guy, he is the only person working, so he works very fast. More cars smoged =more $$ more him. Other then him being a very nice guy, his prices (as far as I know) are unbeatable. $40 for smog and certification. I would highly recommend and worth going out of your way to get your car smoged here. It feels good and very rare to find someone in the auto industry that isn't trying to screw you over (money, lol). read more

Like the name implies, it's "just smog." I understand how strict CA emissions can be, and how people can be very nervous when it comes to smog or anything automotive related. The owner V is the definition of customer service. He is friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, transparent and makes sure you feel comfortable when it comes to smogging your car. There are no gimmicks or shady business going on here. Just a quick and friendly smog. I was out the door I. 10-15 minutes! Just Smog has definitely gotten by business for years to come. read more
