Quoted $88.50 for a 2012 Honda Fit. That's more than double what I've found elsewhere. Did not go.

Came in on a nice Saturday afternoon. No one waiting. Had a nice experience and the technician was very friendly. Would recommend.

We felt lucky! In and out in less than 15 minutes. The…read morewaiting area had tea and coffee, pastries, and chips too! Our service tech was super friendly. Super easy to find and pull in to park. Found a coupon online so it was a good deal as well. Definitely will come back

I had a really disappointing experience at Clean Air Smog and would not return…read more From the moment I arrived, the customer service was hostile and chaotic. The employee immediately started barking orders at me and other customers ("go inside," "fill out this form," "put it on your dash," "leave your car running"), and seemed visibly stressed and frustrated the entire time. He also repeatedly directed customers to walk through the active shop area, which felt unsafe. Customers were being told to navigate around equipment and tire rollers used for smog testing that were on the ground, creating an uneven and cluttered walking path. It seemed like an unnecessary trip-and-fall hazard. After waiting about 10 minutes, I returned thinking my car was finished and tried to mention that I had a coupon. Before I could even explain, he snapped at me to "GO WRITE IT ON THE CLIPBOARD IN YOUR CAR." When I tried to clarify because I thought he already had my paperwork, he interrupted me again and said, "I HAVE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS TO TAKE CARE OF." Later he called out "Highlander!" and when I again mentioned the coupon, he barked, "SAVE IT AND YOU'LL SAVE $35 -- simple math." I had no idea what that meant because no one had explained anything. Then he handed me paperwork and told me to "drive it around and bring it back." He never explained that my car hadn't failed due to a mechanical issue -- it simply needed to complete a drive cycle so a sensor could reset. When I asked if the car passed, he aggressively responded, "NO! DO YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU?? HERE, I'LL HIGHLIGHT IT FOR YOU!" and literally snatched the paperwork out of my hands. When I asked why it didn't pass, he just kept yelling "JUST DRIVE IT AROUND AND BRING IT BACK." I eventually took my car to my regular mechanic (who doesn't do smog checks), and within seconds he calmly explained what Clean Air Smog should have told me in the first place: I simply needed to drive on the freeway at around 65 mph for several minutes to activate a sensor. That basic explanation would have solved everything and avoided this entire interaction. Instead, I was met with poor communication, aggressive behavior, and an unnecessarily antagonistic attitude. To make matters worse, I was charged $91.75 instead of the advertised discounted price of $56.75. I'll be disputing the charge with my credit card company. There are plenty of smog shops in San Francisco -- I'd strongly recommend going somewhere else.
