So expensive, I was charged $70 for a 15 minute smog test. At other places, I was charged less than $40. Rip-off!

Kevin does a fantastic job for the customer. Quick, efficient, and polite. This place is STAR certified Test and repair station. Certificate price and test are reasonable. I want to address some complaints from ppl who have a bad situation when they called. I notice his phone is directly next to the test machine which is next to a RUNNING car inside a garage. My point...ITS LOUD! I barely noticed a call ringing and he had to turn off my car to answer it. By the time he said hello, they hung up. Please be patient when calling or call back a few minutes later as he could be currently testing a car during your call. read more

I believe this is one of those "Star Stations" that sometimes your renewal requires. The guy quoted me $70 total, (including the certificate) for a 1999 auto. read more

I spent months trying to get anyone to work on my old vehicle and get it through a smog check. It failed seven times in a row. Nobody in Milpitas would touch it except Kevin, who took it on and fixed and smogged it in a couple of days. He also replaced parts including plugs and plug wires, one of which was worn and which I didn't know about. He kept all the old parts to show me what he'd replaced and why. He was able to give me useful information about the internal condition of the engine, too. He gave me a fair estimate before starting and charged me a more than fair price for doing the job. He came across as knowledgeable and friendly and could easily have turned the vehicle away like everyone else did. Outstanding. read more

Excellent service, Kevin Wong's test center is as good as it gets. I took my car here for my first smog check in California and he walked me through the process. He came across as knowledgable and honest, and his prices are competitive (I paid $69.96 for test and cert). Since it is a "Test Only" center, he won't tell you that you need work if you don't really need it. I highly recommend this company. read more

Highly recommended. My Acura had a difficult to diagnose "monitor not complete" problem. Several mechanics including an Acura dealer were not eager to work on the car. This shop fixed it and at a reasonable price. read more

I called around and Milpitas Smog Check was competitive in pricing. I was quoted $40 for a smog test plus $10 for the certificate for a total of $50. The mechanic appeared friendly and cordial. During the test, I saw the mechanic using a long type screw driver in the engine. Don't know why but I thought it was an odd tool, nothing that would be used for checking the timing. After the test, it failed due to ignition timing though emissions passed. Had to take it to another mechanic to adjust the timing for $65. I discovered later that Milpitas Smog Check's customary free re-test wasn't included. On the original receipt, the free re-test was crossed out and handwritten was $30+cert for a re-test. I was never told for a $40 smog test, it would NOT include the one free re-test. Weeks later, right before visiting again for the re-test, I called to simply confirm if the smog test included one free re-test, and he said yes. I was perplexed. When I came in for the re-test, I asked why I was charged a re-test. And he said for a $40 smog test, it didn't include the free re-test. So my total cost or bottom-line was... $40 smog test, $10 certificate, $30 re-test ($5 discount) $65 ignition timing adjustment $140 TOTAL In conclusion, I didn't like how the charges unfolded, particularly the customer service of not explaining I received a discounted price excluding the free re-test. Overall, it causes suspicion. Unfortunately, I will never conduct my business there again. And I will not recommend the place to family or friends. read more

Friendly, efficient and great at multitasking; acknowledged/greeted every client as they arrived.

12/5/13 I won't come back here anymore. Year after year Kevin charge more and more. Today he charged me $70 dollars for checking smog. My car is 5 years old and have only 24,000 miles read more

While Milpitas Smog Check gets the job done -- so does every other smog check place. They're licensed, monitored and inspected by the State of California. It then all comes down to price. My problem with Milpitas Smog Check is that the pricing is "fluid". I originally took one vehicle to get it smogged here when I had phoned and been offered a good price. Yesterday I took another vehicle in without phoning, and the price offered was $50 PLUS fees. While I stood there considering the offer, I noticed that his present customer's paperwork was on the counter. He was being charged $29.95. I guess I looked more expensive. I walked. read more

Let's just say the owner knows cars, and he takes no pleasure in your failure. When you have your smog tested with a guy with these two traits, you can be assured he's gonna bring about the best performance of your car. read more

My family has been bringing our cars here for years. Kevin Wong is an honest guy. You might find other places are cheaper, but the technology and equipment at other places may not be up to date (we found out the hard way going to a cheaper smog check place). read more

I've been here several times over the past few years. Kevin is a great guy and very friendly. Love this place and I will be coming back.

i have to agree with the last 3 post that the owner kevin is a nice guy. but PLEASE do some research before paying $69.95 for the service. His service paper (your receipt) says the cost is $99.00. He crosses out the $99 and writes $59.00 making you believe you are getting a great deal and the total you will be paying is $59, but when you hand him your credit card, he will charege you 69.95 because he added the fee's for the license and tax. very deceiving. Go across the street (literally across the street) to A1 smog and pay a total of $40.20 for everything. no hidden fee's. you do the math and make your decision. REMEMBER: that these are "test only" stations and will not work on your car for you. a good question to ask is, why are some shops charging WAY more than others for the same service. read more

Kevin is awesome, checked my SUV for 4wheel drive (which I forgot). Allow me to make appt at 8:45am and customer service is awesome. Clean waiting room and bathroom. read more

Kevin is incredible he has excellent customer service and didn't keep us waiting long at all I would recommend anyone to come and have their car smogged here read more

This place is awesome, Kevin knows cars. This is the place I come in for all my smog certificate needs since they open for business and the price is reasonable. Never had any issue with the place, I highly recommend this place. read more

Kevin has always treated me and my cars well. My employer also uses him for all 3 of our work vans. One time, my car didn't pass and Kevin worked his hardest to get it to pass. It still didn't, but he made an educated guess at what the issue was and it fixed the problem. It passed with flying colors the next time. I always recommend Milpitas Smog. read more

Never ever go for Smog Check in this shop. My wife went tor Smog Check yesterday, Kevin Wong charged her $46.75 and he told that he is giving her discount. But I did smog check in a Santa Clara based shop on 06/05/2017 for our 2nd car and they charged $34.95 which is their standard rate. This person is reaping his customers. read more

This guy failed me by visual. And then wanted to charge me extra to pass it. I said no and took it to a smog in Sunnyvale and passed. Wasn't happy at all that I payed 70 dollars just to fail. He tried to hustle me. Be cautious this guy is a snake!!!!!!! read more

I just came back from getting my car smog checked at Milpitas Smog Check. As in all the other reviews online, I agree that Kevin is very friendly, very professional, and a pleasure to do business with. I will take my car there from now on and will highly recommend him! read more

Great service and prices. The owner is nice and very honest with his job estimates. Highly recommend this place.

Stopped by here after work today to have my car smogged. The test was $70. I was immediately helped, and the test was very fast (10 minutes or so). Be aware, they do not take checks (not a problem for me), but do take cash and credit. Friendly, clean, and fast, with a quiet waiting area. They submit the smog test electronically to the DMV, too. read more

I grew up in Milpitas, I graduated in 1982. I have a 1994 FORD RANGER 4.0, It failed the test. Kevin Wong was very helpful and friendly. He figured out what the problem and I passed the retest, I give Milpitas Smog Check 2 thumb up and 2 toes up. read more
