I'm a month late in posting this. I try not to show up 10-5 minutes before closing, but I work M-F and in my true fashion, time for away from me, and I'm down to the wire to register my car. I rolled in at 5:20 pm. And they took me. They didn't make me feel like an inconvenience and they didn't turn me away. This is a huge weight of my shoulders. And I do feel bad for showing up right at closing, but I'm being grateful that they helped me out and were so nice about it. Thank you N & K Smog read more

Fast and friendly service for a smog check at 8 am on a Saturday morning. Paid $45. No complaints. Would come back but I only get smog checks when the DMV requires it. read more

I have taken a few older cars to these guys and they really know their stuff. Today I took them a unicorn, a 1978 GMC motorhome, and they had no problem finding the correct specifications for testing. I've had other smog stations in the past who said they couldn't figure it out. Excellent work at fair prices. read more

Guys were a bit busy with 2 cars ahead of me, and assured me that the wait wasn't but 15 mins. True to word, even when another vehicle pulled up , my car passed and I was on my way in 20 mins. Great value too! read more

I just want to send a shout out to Robert for his professionalism, his honesty and great costumer service. I took my 1985 Cutlass in today and the price was what he said. Sometimes you go places and when you get there the prices change. But NOT here! If you need a decent honest good price for smog hit up Robert. Good looking out Robert! Most definitely coming back when any of my cars need a smog read more

Had to go twice because my battery died but they gave me a jump and when I was able to get a smog the second time they were quick and courteous. The test was cheap and I was in and out in 20 minutes, I'd definitely recommend getting your smog there. read more

Unfortunately, my car did not pass smog at the time that I took her in. However, N & K was great. Very polite and efficient. I've taken two of my cars there now and have not been disappointed with the service. I also got my CAP application started there so that my car could pass so they are also informative. read more

It was the second time that I brought my vehicle here for a STAR Smog Certification required to register my Mazda Miata. I showed up at 4:15 pm yesterday. An employee greeted me and started testing my vehicle quickly. By 4:35 pm, after paying $45, I was on my way home. My family and I plan on using N & K for all our smog test needs in the future. read more

I called the same day and they squeezed me in. I got my trucks smog check passed on little notice. They're Star licensed too by the way. It was a Saturday and there was 1 car ahead of me. I still wasn't there more than like 35-40 mns. If it don't pass they'll give you another chance within 30 days... They charged me $40. Good deal, fast and reliable. I'll be back my next smog check. read more

I really wish I could have left a positive review. I brought my 2003 Dodge Viper here 2 years ago and had a great experience. They didn't have to put it onto the dyno. I pulled my car to the front of the shop where they plugged it in and did what I thought was a thorough inspection. I will include a photo from back then with my Viper being inspected. Back then I also brought my 2013 BRZ and also had a great experience. Both car passed with no issues and customer service was good. It seems since then they have lost the good employees and managers. As a car guy I want to take my cars to people I trust. I brought my Viper in today to get a smog check and was approached by a younger guy who said he wanted to drive my Viper into the shop. I let him know that I was the only person insured in the vehicle and I would like to at least drive the car into the shop. Also, Vipers are not the easiest cars to drive and if this kid damaged my car, the repairs would be a nightmare. The kid said ok just pull your car up front. When I pulled my car up front I was approached by the manager, I think. He said if he can't drive your car into the shop then leave. I let him know I was a returning customer and last time everything was great. I want to support this place. He waved his hand toward the street and said leave. We are fortunate to have plenty of smog places around. I literally went across the street to Star Certified Smog and they were super helpful. They didn't have to put it on the Dyno. N&K lost a loyal customer to the people across the street. If you have an exotic or love your car I would not go here. Cheers! read more

Great place to get smog test. Quick and easy. No hassle's. Highly recommend!! Honest and affordable!

Poor customer service, needed a retest and they didn't want to prioritize me because of that, became instantly not friendly after I failed smog read more

Honesty is this places middle name. Open 6 days. I definitely recommend bringing all your smog needs here.

Got smog done here a while back, quick in n out guy that was there was really helpful highly recommended.(no I'm not a bot)

Excellent customer service! Efficient & quick: 10 minute smog test. Inexpensive - $45 for car smog test. +.75 for card fee. (Would be nice if cash option was available). Very consistent service every time. Did I mention amazing customer service :) Highly recommended. PS: $5.00 If you provide them their own business card. Ask for one! read more

Friendly, super fast and efficient. One car ahead of me and I was out in 20 mins. Star certified which I needed.

I've been coming to N&K for the last couple of smog tests and always receive the same fast, efficient service at the BEST PRICE around. LOCATION is great for me (NEXT to Johnnie's and BEHIND Plaza Auto II on Indiana Avenue.) FACILITIES are nimble (clean chairs in a small waiting area to the side.) The two young men who run the place are very nice, competent and professional. WHY N&K, ESPECIALLY if car 1995 OR OLDER? Needing my smog test immediately but knowing that things can change, I did a quick price survey for STAR facilities with good Yelp reviews. What I was told by every shop I contacted was that the State imposed more stringent requirements for cars 1995 and older--so STAR stations now need new $mog testing equipment...and charge more. NO CAN DO: Several shops told me they cannot not test my car because they do not have the required equipment "yet." One offered that his equipment is on back order and "good luck" finding someone. OUT-THE-DOOR PRICING from those who DO have NEEDED EQUIPMENT: 1) The 1st shop (M&T on Indiana whom I've used before) told me that my price would be $90, no discount cuz they need to pay for the new equipment. 2) I called several other shops and found TWO that quoted me a more reasonable $65--but not today. 3) I then realized it was N&K, not M&T, on Indiana where I had tested last so I called them, asking for best price. "$50." I asked again. "$50 out the door, 1995 and older." SOLD! I drove right over into an open bay and was on my way out 25 minutes later! (They test for free the 2nd x around IF your car fails 1st time.) I told N&K about my experience price checking and they told me while ownership had changed (Perhaps prior owner sold to his staff?), they deliberately chose to hold down their pricing for their customers. N&K gets my highest recommendation for both price and performance. read more

Always excellent service. No wait and be sure and take your coupon available on their website for $5 off!!

Your free offer took place the day I came. Which you sir stated just went into effect. You should have honored per your contract, no where does it state 30 days, nor was advised by Representative. You stated it is now posted on your wall, and was changed from 90 days to 30 days. Yet on your contact where clearly circled the only charge would be 8.75 and written by your representative Free re-Inspection test does it state 90, 60 and now you say 30 days. Nor is it written in the small verbage "contract". I feel sorry for all the people that's being ripped off and does not understand your contracts. I do read more

I've been here before (about 2 or so years ago) for another vehicle for a smog test. Upon pulling up I was greeted by David (same staff member that helped me then). I inquired how long it would take and he told me about 15 Minutes. Amazing service, very professional And I will be returning. read more

They were really fast! We had one person ahead of us and it only took about 20 minutes. Unfortunately my car didn't pass the test but we get a free retest after we repair it. Free wifi is awesome read more

N & K Smog Test Only - Star certified! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Riverside, California

I stopped by another Smog Test station and was told they couldn't service my 1998 because they didn't have the equipment. I then go to another Smog center and was told the same thing! So before going anywhere else I called three more places! One wanted $75 for the smog, the other couldn't service the '98 and the last place I called was N &K. I was told the price was $50 and they could perform the service on my car. I stop by and I'm greeted promptly (didn't get his name). After finishing up a truck and another car I was next. In all I waited around 30 minutes. My '98 passed the smog and I paid exactly $50 out the door! I highly recommend N & K! Fast and attentive service! Thank you! read more

N&K exceeded all my expectations.... I actually had gone to a smog shop across the street first because it was highly visible.....BUT after almost 10 mins of the Rep there not saying a word and Other Customers actually telling me who was waiting and how long they thought it would be..... I looked over and saw the sign for N&K.....called the number, spoke with a man named Daniel.....said there was no wait.. was there in less than a minute. WOW!! A WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE SERVICE WISE AND CLEANLINESS WISE..... Was greeted by two Reps and the Smog Check was done in less than 10 minutes!! Very clean facility, very friendly representative and lightning fast, professional service. The location is a bit hidden, so ya gotta look for it.....It is on the same side of the street as Johnny's burger. Just down a lil bit further from Madison. Great Service is huge to me and N&K came through big time. Thank You!! read more

I needed a smog check per DMV so I went thru Yelp and found this hidden spot down the street from where I live. No lines, pulled up and was greeted by technician. Great customer service, took about 10 mins and one less thing off my to do list! read more

Came in early on a Saturday and was able to get my car smog checked in under 30 minutes. Very professional service for a reasonable rate. $45 for a small compact car read more

Was referred by a friend and was very impressed at how fast and friendly the service was. Great price and super fast. I plan on returning in 2 years for my next smog check. read more

I needed a Star smog station and looked these guys up and was happy I did. There's one across the street with more visibility and I would have pulled in there, but they open late. Looked these guys up and they'll be my new go-to smog test station. Extremely fast, courteous and the price was competitive. Highly recommend! read more

Great, fast and efficient customer service, and all at a competitive price!

after moving back to california, i needed to get both of my cars smog checked and this place came very highly recommended. after our recent visit, i can absolutely see why! not only were the employees friendly and personable, but it took less than 10 minutes to do each car and the price was unbeatable. i had such a great experience that i insisted my mom take her cars here and she had nothing but phenomenal things to say as well. we will definitely be back! read more

I'm not sure what all the negativity is about. Sounds like a lot of super picky people with unrealistic demands. It makes me sad to see someone only give 2 or 3 stars with a positive review. This business was quick, efficient, cheap, and the technician was friendly. Need I say more? Not sure what the others expect from a SMOG station, but I will definitely be back. read more

I don't usually have no complaints at all, (being the grumpy type), but that was the case here. Price is reasonable, and the online coupon helped me get out the door at a bargain price - in 10 minutes. David, is excellent at his job, and very knowledgeable (helpful if you have any questions). This is definitely my highest recommended smog test shop. read more

Helpful, knowledgeable, & friendly staff. Cleanliness of waiting area, office and shop is great. Staff all wearing masks which now in this era is important. Pricing is great & service was fast. Looks like they own the tire shop next door as well which is super convenient when you are trying to get all car maintenance quoted & done in one shot. The gentleman that helped me advised their tire turn around was fast as well. Highly recommend this place 5 stars well deserved. read more

I had my smog test at this location twice and I am satisfied with their service. It's was quick and the price is great for the service that they offer. I will still be coming back for my required smog check here. read more

Great, great service!!! Fast service. The techs are very friendly and helpful. I want to give it 10 stars, but Yelp only allowed me to give five stars! THANKS N&K!! Would come back again for sure when it's time for another smog check. read more

This place is top notch. I was looking to take care of my smog check ASAP as I had a couple of days remaining, and they got me in and out in less than 30 minutes and they had 2 cars ahead of me. The individuals there were also very nice and personable. I will definitely recommend friends and families. Before I went to N&K I stopped by the shop across the street and they had bad service. Do not go there, make sure it is N&K. read more

This place is awesome, the staff is nice and prices are cheap. The thing that makes this place great is time; they are quick and careful about your car. I recommend this place read more

I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Very quick and the guy who helped me was pleasant. If I'm still in the area I'll definitely bring my car back for the next smog check. Only complaint is that they didn't back my car out of the service area. It was kinda scary for me to do it myself surrounded by other cars read more

Super helpful, fast service, & really nice & cool owner! Also didn't try and over charge me for no reason. Highly recommend.

It always nice to support a local business that been around more than 2 years! The technician are knowledgeable and very courteous they are fast. Great job guys! read more

A very quick and reliable service! The owner is very friendly and willing to help people out! Ever since the first time visiting here, I have been coming here for smog test. read more
