This is my second time coming here for my smog. I have a 95' miata which is on the older side. I know it is more time consuming since it has to go on the dyno, but they don't make a fuss about my car or make me feel bad for "wasting their time" like other places have done so in the past. They're honest, have fair prices and treat me kindly. Great folks! Will definitely come back here for my next smog note: Both times (and my retests since I always fail the first time lol) I was able to do walk-ins, and gotten assisted quickly, but I would always double check first! I just messaged them here on yelp. read more

Great experience for my smog check! 10/10 service! Showed up at 9am and was out by 9:12am! $60 (cash or card, cash means you won't pay an extra dollar if that's something that matters to ya). Come here for your smog check and you won't be disappointed by their service! read more

Annual smog check for car registration time, so I looked on Yelp to see who you all recommend. Based on the reviews, I made an appointment at MT Smog Check Star Station.

I'd suggest not using their online appointment booking. I booked a day and time, got an email confirmation, then arrived at that time to find the business completely closed. Went down the street to Amerismog, who were open and took me as a walk in. read more

Great customer service and very fast and easy smog check. Price you can't beat. I recommend this place whoever needs a smog check.

You must go to MT Smog, and I'm not just blowing smoke. I sent out a quote to multiple vendors and Matt responded right away. Nobody could beat his quote, and he answered all of my questions, so MT was the clear choice. Still, I had reservations. Not those kids of reservations- you can just pop by anytime. But you never know if someone will honor the quote. Or, if they are going to honor it, but then add weird fees like "key handling". Van was super helpful. When I told him the quote didn't match the charge, he got Matt over rather than debate. Turns out I was to blame, leaving out key information about my vehicle, but he still honored the quote, with no problem, making it clear that customer service is key to smooth transactions and return customers. An MT promise is not an empty promise. Even on an early Saturday afternoon, I was helped right away and done in ten minutes. Thanks, MT! read more

High on the Smog Smog and registration shop located in a very industrial area approximately 10min south of DTSJ. I only went here for a Smog check, so can't speak on the registration portion of the process. The Good: *In business here for fifteen years (ca. 2009) *Amazingly fast turn-around of less than twenty minutes from soup to nuts. *Friendly service *$10-off a Smog check Yelp check-in offer is hot. It brought my total down to a Van Halenesque $51.50 out the door. *Clean waiting room *3% discount w/ cash *Private lot so you can avoid San José Ave (more on that later). The Meh: *Yelp check-in offer is only good for vehicles model years 2000 and later. So scrapers need not apply. :) The Ugly: *Ironically, San José Ave is probably like the worst street in the city. Not that the road is in bad shape, but just the sheer volume of traffic that uses it because it's a cut-thru from Almaden Expwy to 1st St. Conclusion: Great spot to get a smog check at a very reasonable price. read more

The tech was super friendly and smogged the car quickly! Appreciate your staff promptness. A+++++ shop read more

MT Star Smog Check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Jose, California

The Yelp coupon gets you $10 off, not $20, off smog test. So $50 total, not $40. The guy said, "I don't know where all these people are getting this Yelp coupon stuff from!" Hmm... But, overall, friendly and quick. Got car registered there at the same time for $30 -- beats that hellish DMV line I was prepping myself for! read more

My family and have gone to MT for smog checks for over a decade. Great staff, service, and pricing!

Once again, you Yelpers have helped me discover another great local business to take care of personal errands in a quick, easy, efficient, and affordable manner! To echo the many other reviews, I called in to MT Smog Check for my Honda Civic. They told me they had time that day (on a Tuesday) and to bring it in whenever is convenient for me. I pull up and let them know I had called them earlier. They told me no problem, have a seat in the waiting room, and they can get to my car right away. I don't think I even finished checking my emails when he walked back in and said it was ready to go!! There was only 1 other person in the waiting room so I guess that explains the fast service. I mentioned the Yelp online coupon and he took $20 off, I paid $40 total. Easy peasy and I got to finish registering my car, no problems with paperwork or needing to verify their work. Thanks guys! read more

It was long overdue rate! Guy did help me with my smog certificate is amazing I forgot his name. This shop is amazing letting than 20 minutes you are done. Highly recommended. read more

I've been to MT Smog Check a couple times now and I have to say that it's still just as 5-STAR-worthy as I remember. On my most recent visit, I had to get a mandatory smog inspection before I could renew my vehicle registration. While nobody likes getting smog checks done, MT Smog makes the process as painless as possible. I had my smog done and had my certificate digitally sent to the DMV all in about 20 minutes. Now that's what I call efficiency. Staff is super friendly and professional. All this greatness for the amazing Yelp price of $40 per Smog Check!!! For Porsche owners, I've found that not every local smog check place can actually smog a Porsche. MT Smog on the other hand has no issues at all with a Porsche...just awesome! read more

MT Smog station is my go-to place for smog checks for years. They always offer great deals on their website and service is always fast. The longest I had to wait was 25 minutes on their busiest days.
