I used the Groupon special a few months ago and Service could not have been better. I presented the coupon with no issues and luckily my timing was great as there were no other customers waiting. I was in and out of there in literally five minutes. This location is slightly difficult to find, but once you figure it out, it's a no-brainer for future needs. All the staff was very friendly. read more

I messed up on my registration and failed to notice that I required a SMOG check. Imagine my surprise when I opened the letter from the DMV expecting to see my registration, but only seeing a notice. I read the DMV letter in December. My registration expires December. Enter panic mode. I started looking for places to do my SMOG test. I found this place. I called and was informed I could do a walk-in, which I opted for. I asked how long it would take, and the man quoted me 10 minutes. I waited there and watched the process since I've never had to do it before and was curious. I watched him hook up the machine to my car, but became distracted with a call. By the time I hung up 10 minutes later, my car was done and PASSED (anxiety levels declined). I paid in cash since I know a lot of small businesses prefer it, and I'm considerate of that. Thanks SLTO! read more

Needed to get STAR certified and found this place on Groupon. Since I waited until last minute, I decided to call them to see if they could fit me in. Not only did they fit me in the same day - they price matched. I drove right over and sure enough - they took me right away, were courteous and had me out of there in less than fifteen minutes. Gio was great and I was really impressed with their service and their customer manners. I def recommend this place for anyone that is looking to get a smog check. read more

6 months ago we were charged around $60 for a smog check but today we were charged more than double what we paid last time. When we showed them our receipt from last time, they said "well the prices rose!" ...but almost triple the amount within 6 months is strange. Disappointing since we've been going here for years read more

Walked / drove up. Was able to get my car smogged. Better if you check in on Yelp to get the discount. read more

I have gone here for years to get my smog. Prices were reasonable, and the service was really good.

The operator was super efficient and professional. I pulled up after calling to inquire if I needed appointment and they said to just come by. I had a coupon from Groupon, and received the discount . In and out fast, so great service and good baluie read more

Quick service thank you! Got my vehicle registered and smog together. Saved a lot of time.

I have been here several times, have had no trouble getting vehicles smogged .Service has been quick.

Used to like this place... but they now charge about $130 for smog check. NOT WORTH IT!!

Amazing service! Friendly and easy! No appt. Highly recommended! I didn't make an appointment, and had the service right away!

My car just turned 10 and I needed a smog check and had no idea where to go. You always see smog check signs but right when I needed it, I couldn't remember where I'd seen them! I asked a friend who has an older car and she highly recommended this place. No appointment needed, which was super helpful, and when I arrived, there wasn't a wait. The guy was super quick and clear and the cost wasn't so bad. I'll definitely come here next year when she turns 11 haha! read more

Great n reasonable rate 9+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ read more

Been bringing my cars here for three past few years. Always an easy fast process without issues, highly recommend this guys.

I purchased a Groupon coupon for $28.00. Then paid an additional $8.25 for the smog certificate. The smog time was under 5 minutes. I highly recommend this establishment. I want to apologize to Giovanne. I heard you say that the additional cost was $82.00 not $8.35 for the certificate read more

Easy peasy, I bought my voucher on Groupon for a decent discount, went in a was done in a short amount of time. It was a little confusing when you first get there though because there was only one person that does the check ins and performs the tests. read more

We needed to get a smog test and happened to be in the area. No line when we went on a Saturday and we were in and out quickly!

Came here Saturday and Gio helped me out, he told me I needed to fix something in my car. Got that fixed immediately and came back today to do smog check without an appointment. He helped me right away. Really accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly. I was done within like 10-15mins. Definitely recommend coming back here. Price was great and affordable as well. read more

Smog test here is done quickly. The worker is nice and has a good heart. Understands the people with their car issues and what needs to be fixed. I highly recommend this shop to get your smog. He is patient and will take care of you. High value work in this place. read more

San Leandro Test Only - Outside the shop - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Leandro, California

I shopped around for a smog to get my registration renewed. Oddly, I bought the car in 2016 and DMV never requested one until this renewal. I was under the impression they no longer required smogs. I came to Yelp to find a smog place affordable and available quickly. On the call the gentleman quoted me a price and said I could come immediately. I grabbed me things and headed over fast. My smog service took less than 15 minutes. Also, while there another business partner came over to let me know they are full service with DMV needs. I would recommend this place to anyone I know and don't know. Fast and efficient service. read more

It's that time of year to get a smog check and I swung by this place after finding it in Yelp. The service is great and quick, the owner is very friendly. It's located right next to the Costco entrance, can't miss it. They offer great deals and also, you can renew your registration here too and get stickers on the spot. I highly recommend! Also, say hi to the puppy Cheerio he's very sweet. Thank you read more

San Leandro Test Only - The shop - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Leandro, California

This place was great!! Brought our RV to get a smog test and they made the process completely smooth and at a great value!

Fair warning to others who might not know: If your service engine light comes on, you will not pass Smog, so get it checked out first, fix the issue, then get the smog test. My review likely would have been higher if they had declined to test my vehicle or mentioned that it wouldn't/likely wouldn't pass until the light was off. Could have saved us all time. I was initially quoted $139.75 for a 2000 E-350 van. I was told that included an extra $10 for the Star Smog certificate. Their displayed prices need updating/review. When I did not pass, they took off the extra $10 charge and told me they would just charge $10 when I returned after having the light/issue fixed. Decided to just have my mechanic fix the issue, do the smog test himself (at a much lower price I now know) and avoided any potential driving back and forth between the two stations if it didn't pass. read more

*** STAY AWAY, SCAMMER *** I am all for anyone making a honest dollar but this vendor in San Leandro is just plain seedy. Taking the time to share so others don't fall victim to the misleading advertising. No matter how good the reviews OR service they might offer, the principle of how they operate as a business is unacceptable. PERIOD. ----- Needed a Smog Test for my 2006 Toyota Highlander. A quick Google search returned this place as the first in my area. Checked out their website, http://smogcheck4dmv.com/location.html but it doesn't show any pricing. Saw the $30 discount off their website, http://smogcheck4dmv.com/coupon.html. Called the shop at (510) 499-9749 and ask for pricing. The person said the price depends on the type of vehicle and ask me to come in first. I pushed for what's their regular price and he said $60. I asked if the web coupon is applicable on top and he said NO. As you can see the web coupon is pretty clear. In fact, it states in BOLDED text "NO NEED TO PRINT, JUST MENTION WEBSITE". I politely declined stating that it was false advertising. He claimed that $60 was already discounted price to what they have "posted" on their wall in the shop (not on their website) and I can't apply discount on top of another discount. You sense the red flag too? In the meantime, I did a quick search on Groupon and found their ad for $35 smog check, any vehicle, https://www.groupon.com/deals/san-leandro-test-only-3 5mins later, he texted back: "We can give you a discounted price of $50 for 2006 Highlander smog" The rest of my text exchange with the shop is enclosed. read more

No customers on weekday morning. Called but wouldn't quote me a price until I arrived. Never had that anywhere for any service but my map said it was close to Costco so I start thinking about multitasking. Eric hooked me up and wound up charging me $42 out the door for a 2007 Toyota Prius. read more

San Leandro Test Only - Exterior of building - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Leandro, California

Service was quick got me in and out would definitely recommend this place to anyone in need of a smog.

i had to do a smog test in order to register my car. I went to the above business since it was there that I had gone two years before. I was charged $98. It seemed expensive to me but, nevertheless, I still paid and 15 minutes later, my car was ready, and I left. However, when I came home, I looked through my paperwork and found the previous bill for the smog test at that location. It was $68. Conclusion: two years later, the price had increased of $30!!! Wow!! I was in a hurry and wanted this smog test to be done so I didn't look any further. I should have called other businesses to compare the prices before bringing my car there. I found out later that $68-$70 is the regular price for a smog test. I don't understand why mechanics can charge whatever they want. The next day, I went back to show my previous bill and ask for a refund of the difference. The man who was manning the station told me he couldn't do anything since I had already paid!! huh? read more

Fast, efficient. We were in and out in around 15 min with our registration sticker! They were knowledgable and friendly.

This place is awesome. Zero waiting and was in and out in 10 minutes. This is definitely my new smog guy! Thank you!!! read more

Fastest smog test I've ever gotten. In and out in 10min. And the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended!

Located behind the Burger King next to the San Leandro Costco. It was a seamless process to get tested at a STAR certified smog center (took about 15-20 minutes total). They currently have a coupon advertised on their website for $30 off, but I also called to see if they could honor a discounted price from another shop and Richard was kind enough and able to provide the match. I brought my car in today and there was no wait (probably because it has been raining). Giovanne was the service technician who administered the test for my car and was helpful and responsive. Thumbs up from me, to finding and trying a new local smog check business. They also seem to provide some other minor DMV services too (registration etc). They close at 6pm, compared to some other places that close at 5pm so it gave me more time and less stress to get here after work. read more

quick and painless. efficient and friendly. same day as i called, got appointment and went in.

My fiance and I have gone to this place for years and each time we get exceptional service. Eric always does a great job - makes it quick, easy and painless. :)) You can also get your DMW Renewal sticker here too! You don't have to wait for it in the mail. Just bring your slip here and it'll be your one stop shop. read more

It went perfectly well good customer service. Everyone there is really nice fast great prices

3+ years later, I'm still a happy customer. It's straight forward process for smog tests. I show up hoping they're not busy, wait for them do their thing, and after 5 minutes, I pay and leave. It's easy as that. I recommend going on Groupon to see their smog test deal. If you buy one, it'll say to call for an appointment. I don't - I show up hoping they won't tell me to make an appointment first. I make sure to come on a "dead" day and hour (eg. Monday at 2p) to reduce my chances of waiting long. The last time I called, I was told to come on in. So, that was when I stopped calling. I'll be coming back for my next smog test! read more

This place is great. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Friendly, efficient and good price.

Charged me $100 for just a smog test. Being new to California, I did not know how much a smog test is supposed to cost so I assumed it was fair due the the positive yelp reviews. Now that I'm reading through some of the other reviews, it's clear that other people have experienced the same thing. Take your money elsewhere. read more

San Leandro Test Only - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Leandro, California

I needed a song test. Got the Groupon deal at $35. Saw the Yelp price as of 6.24.2022 was $29.99. Was able to get the difference back. Note, there's still the STAR fee at $10 and the State and ETF they charge for $10. Just see what the ongoing rate is and make sure Groupon is still the best price. The manager was willing to help and asked what would make sure I was satisfied and was going to cover the STAR fee. I just wanted to pay what was due based on the current price and now hopefully I know what to pay for for SMOG. Will go back again. read more
