I had a very positive experience at Quik Smog in Novato. Getting smogged is never fun but this place makes it an easy experience. The whole process was fast and efficient. The person who helped us was clear and concise when explaining everything, which made the process simple and straightforward. The service itself took less than 15 minutes from start to finish.The price was also very reasonable; less than I expected. Overall, it was an easy and professional experience. I would definitely return to Quik Smog the next time I need a smog check. read more

Best price and very quick! Didn't need to bring anything. Service was friendly and straight toward.

Very fast and efficient. Competitive prices. Easy access to donut shop and trader Joe's

The service was quick and the price was reasonable. Was able to get the quote over the phone, appreciate that!

Best smog experience in the Bay. Called ahead and got a same-day appointment. Smog test took less than 15 minutes. Only $60 for the test and certificate. I will definitely come back the next time I need my car smogged. read more

Smog test Super professional, very nice inexpensive and right across the street from Trader Joe's read more

Very Professional. 'on time' operation, Been there 3 times, 5 Stars. Very reasonable price, The only thing that could slow down this operation is the number of phone calls he gets from customers wanting to set an appointment. hard working one-man operation. read more

No appointment no problem. Went in on a Monday morning on person ahead of me got both of our smogs done in 20 mins tops. Great service, friendly and fast turnaround time. read more

Came in for a smog test. Didn't pass smog the first time and the gentleman working here gave me a heads up on exactly why. He didn't charge me let me know what I needed to do before coming back to try again. Fast forward after going to the shop and I passed smog! The process was easy and took around 15 mins total. The man who assisted me with friendly, informative, and super communicative when it came to all the next steps. I never thought it would be such a delight to get my car smogged! read more

Quik Smog - Pleasant waiting room - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Novato, California

This place doesn't need a review. JUST GO! That's how good this place is. 5s. Dropped off @ 8:45. 2 cars ahead of me and out by 9:15. A very fair price. He may be a 1 man show so please be patient as it does get busy for good reason. read more

Some reviewers recommended appointments so I called up. I guess it depends on when you go. I called up and told them I could be there in 15 minutes. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes I would guess. Mark did the smog for my car. Apparently he's one of the owners. He was professional, courteous and quick. All great qualities. The price was very reasonable too. I will be back in two years! read more

So easy! I called up and got an appointment later that day. There's a waiting area or you can walk to Trader Joes or something. But honestly it's fast enough I didn't even get through a chapter of my book. I came here the last time I got smogged as well and it was just as straightforward and easy. He's STAR certified and a great deal. I'm surprised I didn't write a review last time but doing it now. Highly recommend for your smog! And I'll be back in two years. :) read more

I'm a bit embarrassed to write this review. I went there today to get smogged but as it turns out -- I didn't need it for this year! Guess I shoulda read my car registration first, duh. The guy there (Mark?) was very nice about it all and I will for sure be going back there next year, when it is actually required. They are not just the cheapest place, but their service is friendly too. read more

Great service, best in Novato for smog! Quick in and quickn out. Been here a few times and will definitely recommend to friends and family! read more

Both the business' claims, and prior reviewer's spot on, super efficient, quick place to get smog check done. Realized at 2:30 my sticker on my license plate was from last month, by 2:45 saw on the DMV site I couldn't just pay fees (needed smog) so about 2:50 was looking around for a quick smog, and rang Quik Smog. Answered after a few rings, said yes, they had same day appointments available, pick any time, I picked 4:00 PM and rolled up at 4:00 on the dot. Greeted quickly, car taken in with a quick signature, tech dealt quickly with my having accidentally brought paperwork for wrong, nearly identical, car (I have two MLs two model years apart), and I was done with a pass and on my way by 4:18. No hassles, good price, smog check problem solved. read more

Great overall experience. Very professional. My new smog place going forward. I would recommend.

Fair priced great service super nice owner. It was fast and convenient. The owner was even willing to price match if in the future his rates weren't competitive. read more

Highly recommend Hamilton Smog check in Novato. They were very professional and price was good too! I'd go back again read more

Excellent service! In and out in less than 15 minutes. I appreciate the fact that appointments can be made which prevents waiting several hours at other shops that don't offer appts. Overall 5 star service at an excellent price! read more

Unfortunately, I'm a procrastinator. When it came time for me to get my car registration renewed, I waited until the absolute last minute to get it smogged. I was frantic to find a place that would smog my vehicle that same day. Thank God Quik Smog had a brief opening. He got me in and smogged in under an hour, and I was able to make my deadline. Thank you, Quik Smog!! You rock!! read more

I have used this company over and over without a skipped beat, best service , efficient, and so nice. I always make appt, (although they welcome walk ins), on time, efficient, 15 minutes out the door. Price is lowest in town, and may I add one more time, nice, nice nice. read more

I just had my smog check here. I had a good experience. At my arrival Mark was pleasant. He did the smog check quickly. I recommend this place Thank you Mark read more

I hate anything to do with my car. So if a place is good, I just go there, again and again, so I don't have to think about it. Having just moved to Novato a few months ago, I hate having to find my new go-to places, so I try to do my research for a good place, so I don't have to find another one in the future. Yesterday, I tried to go somewhere else with slightly better reviews, but after waiting in line for 15 minutes, the DMV state wide server was down, so all smog checks were halted. I tried to go back there again today, and the same cars were there in line. One got all competitive with me as I drove up, afraid I would take her spot. (Even though I wasn't going to). Witnessing this, I thought: I don't need competition in my life just to get a smog check! So I drove off.... and instead went to Quik Smog. Where the name describes the experience. There was no one in line, and the guy came and explained everything. I waited in their waiting room, paid and left. This is the way you'd like your Smog check experience to be. I don't need to compete with other people for a Smog check. Nothing against the other Smog Check place.... but really, you just want to get in and get out. It's just a Smog Check for god's sake! All this to say - if you need a Smog Check, this is a perfectly fine place to go. The guy was nice. 10 Minutes and you're out. I like that. This will most definitely be my go-to in town. read more

Well I am just saying I have work customers service for 35 years and the guy MARK was so awesome very friendly and seemed to so proud of his shop he was Great I will definitely go back in two years when I have to get a smog check .... whole lot of awesome Sauce .....thank you for great service ‍ read more

I rarely write reviews, but, man, I have to for this business. Had to get my bi-annual CA Star smog-check done, called around town, and decided to try a different place, based on a somewhat lower check-and-certificate cost. One of the best decisions I've made lately! Marcus (Mark) got me scheduled on the phone; I went in; he explained the exact process and confirmed the cost and time needed (without my having to ask a bunch of questions); and finished up in 15 or so minutes. The shop and waiting area were super-clean, and the waiting area has a collection of cool stuff to walk around and check out. Mark and I even got to discussing those things as we reviewed the work performed and I paid the exact cost he quoted, no hassle, haggling, BS. Solid, honest, transparent, thorough, concise, personable, on-time, on-quote service. Highly recommend this shop -- run and staffed by people who absolutely, truly put the Customer First! And, we agreed to see each other in 2 years for next Star Smog Check! Excellent, and congratulations to Mark for setting high service standards I thought might have gone extinct! PS: My wife went in the very next day to have her bi-annual smog-check done, and she received the same high-quality service! Consistent! read more

Great service. Takes 10-15 mins. If you fail you do not pay. G

I called numerous places for best price. Quick Smog won!! Mark answered the phone with a super friendly attitude, got me in the same day, only charged $55 for my SUV, and I got a senior discount on top of that!! I was in and out in 15 minutes and Mark was the nicest, most efficient guy. For those of you who don't like waiting, Quick Smog in Novato is directly across the street from Starbucks and Trader Joe's, but the waiting room is pretty chill and super clean so I didn't mind waiting on site. I'm so grateful I found this place. As I was leaving he shouted out, "See you in two years!" Yes you will. Won't go anywhere else now. read more

Great service. I just did the smog check yesterday for my Hyundai Elantra. Everything went smoothly and fast. Thanks.

Mark runs a clean, efficient, no-nonsense shop and offers the absolute best deal in town, if not the entire county. I called 5 different smog stations between San Rafael and Novato for price quotes - not only is Mark's fee among the lowest around, but he's the only one who offered "No Pass, No Pay". That's huge - especially if you're worried about potential issues with your vehicle's emissions. Will definitely be back if/when I have future smog needs. read more

If you need your car smogged either a routine smog or a star station smog this is your place!! Quick , knowledgeable, and the best price in Novato which includes the certificate. read more

Needed to get my car smog checked. I called at 4:30 and I got an appt for 5:30. Owner was really nice, explained everything and got me in and out of the shop in 20 min. He told me $55 up front but would match competitors' prices if they were lower. Will definitely be bringing our other cars there when we need the service. read more

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Fast, easy, convenient, and great customer service. This guy runs the place like the rest of America should run a business! I highly recommend it! read more

Great price & great service. Yelp seems to be demoting this place for some reason. Not necessary to make an appointment, but would be helpful so you don't have to wait or come back later if he happens to be busy that day. Their website says they will match any Novato smogging price. Their price is probably already the lowest, but couldn't hurt to bring any Novato coupon you may find, just in case. read more

Pleasant, accurate and straightforward pricing. Glad I went here instead of scammers that start at $88 unless you have a "coupon."

Very friendly service and quick turnaround time as well. Great customer service, can show up without appointment and will let you know if any wait (usually not much if any) read more

I don't really write reviews unless they knock it out of the ballpark. Marc with Quik Smog just did that last Friday. I called on that Friday and spoke with a very nice person, Marc, to get a price quote and an appointment time. I was fortunate I was able to set up an appointment to see him that same day and within the hour. Upon arrival, he again confirmed the price quoted over the phone and also told me that he would match any price that was lower in Novato. Marc was nice and gracious, I didn't even bother looking around. As important, he treated my car with with real care and the smog check price was great. REALLY one of the best and trustworthy smog shops in Marin. No need to look anywhere else beyond Quik Smog. read more

I read the reviews, called and I said I could be there in 10 minutes. I parked the car, walked over to Starbucks and back and it was done. Welcoming, friendly and informative. Can't recommend enough. (Bonus points: he knew I was coming and in the meantime, another customer drove up and was there when I got there. He had him wait and honored my time - he could have easily taken the new customer first, but didn't.) read more

wow! Great customer service Above and beyond what I would expect for a smog check. Took care of my SUv within time frame promised. Definite repeat customer. Thank you ! read more

Quick ,fast, and easy. Even showed me a leak I had going which I might not have spotted. Was even my first time there and was treated as if I was a regular. Would 100% return, go here if you want great service! Thank you mark!(hope I'm not getting it wrong) he was great read more

Love this place. We take both our family cars here for smog checks. The people are honest and it is the best price in town. Gave us some tips and tricks on how to take care of our car to ensure that it will pass the next time. It was super fast, easy, and convenient. We were in and out in 15 mins on a weekday. Highly recommend! read more
