I brought my wife's car for a Smog test on a Saturday morning. Although I was a walk-in I was the only customer. I didn't get much of a chance to browse the magazines in the lobby because the smog test took all of 15 minutes! For me, this is probably the fastest smog test I've ever had! Price wise, it seems a bit pricier than other places, but the Yelp check-in gives a good discount and for sheer speed, it's hard to beat! The funny thing is that SRVB seems to have tons of smog check, auto repair, and gas stations so I do believe competition is stiff. I'm glad Yelp lead me to Smog King! read more

Tried to beat the crowd so I arrived 15 minutes before the opened. Martin was already there setting up shop at 7:45AM. We started the paperwork a few minutes later. He said it would be about 15 minutes. 10 minutes later he was done! That was the quickest smog check ever! Martin was friendly and polite. The facility is located next to Diablo Auto Care. Don't forget to check-in on Yelp or print their online coupon for $20 off. read more

Had a great experience! Needed a smog check to complete my registration. After researching online I chose Smog King and was very satisfied. Was able to schedule a next day appointment and received quick service (10 min!) from a very nice person that was knowledgable about the DMV smog process. Thank you! read more

Had an appointment and I was taken in on time and service was finished in 15 minutes. Friendly staff and reasonable price.

Not bad, honored their coupon, in & out less than 20 minutes, for a smog test, what else could I ask?

Needed a smog check, and I was in and out in about 10 mins. Will definitely come back here again next time around for a smog check

Place is great, Robert is fantastic. No appointment necessary, there was no one before me so only took five-ten minutes to complete the test. Highly recommend and don't forget the $20 off coupon (that can be sent to your phone) read more

Smooth service and Fast! The staff named Actor is friendly, courteous and excellent in his job! Price for the smog is I think just fine. Waiting area is clean and have magazines for you to look on while waiting for your car to be done. Will recommend Smog King to everybody! read more

Quick scheduling. Responsive on the phone. In and out in 10-15 minutes for the smog pass. Best / easiest smog shop I've found to work with. read more

Always a smooth experience at Smog King San Ramon. Fast and friendly service at a great price. Looking forward to using them again for next year's smog check. read more

Walked in and was able to get me in without too much hassle. Quick intake of DMV forms and scan of license to get details. Efficient operation read more

Wow this place is great, Robert is awesome, I called on the phone and asked if I needed an appointment, he said it would be only 5 minutes & he was right. No appointment necessary, there was someone before me and I was thinking oh no it's gonna be a a little while but it was really only five minutes for her too! What a great place everyone should come here no matter how far you have to drive this is the best smog place I have ever been to in my life! I know dramatic right read more

A very quick smog test was needed. Their website had a scheduler for appointments. Got one within the hour and got the test done in 10 minutes. Very quick and reliable. read more

Smog King is five stars for me. Booking an appointment is so easy. Just go on their website and select a time. I was even lucky to book the same day! Once I arrived at this location I was welcomed by Chris. He asked for my DMV paperwork, ID and mileage number and that was it. No paperwork to fill out for once. From there I gave the keys and he was done in 10 minutes! If you go anywhere else they would tell you 20-40 minutes, but not here. Loved that I was in and out of this place. They have a waiting area inside or outside. It's pretty cold so I opted to wait inside. After he checks your car, he'll let you know if you passed the smog test or if you didn't. Thankfully I passed! Haha then they'll send everything to the DMV so all you're left to do is pay for the registration. Woo hoo. Overall, great service and I'll be sure to come back in 2 years. Also, it's the holiday season so if you feel generous, don't forget to leave a nice tip! Thank you Chris for the 5 star service! read more

I needed to smog my car right away as I'm incurring fees from the DMV (long story). Called and Chris told me to come in. He took care of me and was very thorough in his inspection. Also friendly, no BS, and overall an excellent experience. I have right about ten cars so I'll be using this establishment from this point on. read more

Smog King - Chris smogging my car - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Ramon, California

The best smog check in town. The price is honestly good. They takes appointment. It should be the standard of all California smog stations.

Fast, easy and reliable!! Great for smog checks. Make sure to make an appointment though!

Phenomenal. Cannot emphasize this enough. Made an appointment online at 2:45. Arrived at 3:55 for my 4 o'clock and was immediately taken care of. In and out in 15 minutes. Chris was very friendly, fast, and fair. Would endorse this to anyone. read more

This is the ONLY place I take my vehicles to...period. You can stop by or make an appointment, and they provide coupons on the website. I don't think I have waited more than 15 minutes start to finish, always ready to go. Highly recommended! read more

These guys were great. Quick in and out visit that allowed me to carry on with my day. Totally recommending them to all my friends and anyone that asks for a good smog shop read more

My husband called one morning and was able to get squeezed in for an appointment same-day. It took all of about 20 minutes for a smog check and results sent to DMV. read more

This place is my go to place. Technicians are always friendly and courteous. I came from another station where they failed me because the cat converter was replaced and he said the new one had no number on it. Smog king's technicians prior to the test, went under the car and found the number right where it should be and then ran a successful smog check. I love these guys !!! read more

My husband went to try to get a Smog Test at this place and he couldn't find a place to park so he parked next to another car that was there and the person who worked there just yelled at him telling him to move his car. He then rolled down his window to say "I just need to ask a question" as he wanted to know whether he had time for a smog check to go try to find a parking spot somewhere but rather than telling him something like "I'm waiting on another customer, could you please move your car and I can help as soon as I'm done with this person" or something like that, he replied "I don't care". Even a lady, who was a customer, approached my husband and just said "oh, he is helping someone right now" since she heard how rude th person sounded. Needless to say, he just drove away and went to another shop to get his smog check, where he was able to get the smog done quickly and was treated respectfully. Any business that tells a customer "I don't care" is really telling on how they feel about their customers. I would always send my son to get smog tests done here for all of our cars, which is why I told my husband to go here but we will not be returning that's for sure. read more

Called and made an appointment on a Saturday. Came early and was in and out within 30 minutes. Not the cheapest smog out there but was able to use a $20 coupon. Shop was clean and the owner was polite and efficient. All that and the fact that I was given a same day appointment made the price worth it. Can't complain! read more

Great place was great to work with. While they do take walk-ins if there are open times, but I recommend you should make an appointment, especially on a weekend, as they can get very busy. I was able to make one for the same day (Sunday) using their website. The technician, Chris, was great to work with. The shop had a full schedule, and he was able to remain friendly and pleasant while coordinating all the appointments. If you remember to bring all your paperwork (DMV and your ID), things will move quickly. Fantastic Service, 5 stars for the Shop and for Chris :D read more

When I needed a quick unplanned smog check, Smog King was amazing! They were very polite, explained every step clearly, super efficient with minimal paperwork, an online $30 coupon made it cheaper than other places, and I was in and out in 10 minutes! I will come back here for all my other cars and recommend everyone give them a try! read more

Great place. I've been taking my vehicles there for years. Always responsive. Can usually find coupons online

The gentleman that works here really hustles. I couldn't believe how much customer service, phone answering, and work he was doing at the same time. Did a great job and told me what to watch out for in the DMVs next steps. read more

Phenomenal business. I was a walk-in and it was busy. The gentlemen asked me nicely to wait while he finished up a few customers and then quickly got me in. He did a little trouble shooting prior to taking me in as I had another station fail to connect to my computer. He thought it would work after a few quick checks and then the tests were underway. He did mine, handled a few other customers while the tests were going and then finished me up and sent me on my way. This guy is fast, sharp and very customer oriented. He even offered me a $20 off coupon when he asked if I had one, which I didn't - but he gave it to me anyway. I'm now a loyal customer. Well done. read more

I had several smog test fliers/coupons in my hand, and while Yelping to find "the best one" with two requirements (best price and best service), I was horrified to find several of them got poor reviews. Thankfully, Smog King was one of the fliers. I saw that although Smog King is not the cheapest, they got rated well for service and speed. I called at 9am on a Tuesday and was told there was no wait at the time. I showed up shortly after, and within 15 minutes, Martin (I think that was his name) was done. Painless. A fair warning - they do charge a bit more, and like all other places SUV's also get charged an extra fee, BUT the service is fast and honest. Yelp has a check-in offer for them, but the flier that comes in the mail gives a deeper discount. read more

Best place to get smog check even if you don't have to have a test only (star) station. Friendly guys, free wifi very fast easy appointments or just walk on in. Been using smog king for all my cars since 2006! If your car does have a problem you can get it fixed next door at the neighboring repair shop then re-test. A huge time saver! read more

I hate getting smog checks. Don't know why. But this was Quick, easy, painless. Nice service man.

Great service. Chris was super helpful. Explained everything clearly and with humility. In and out in less than 20 minutes.

I recently visited a nearby gas station to have my smog done and after being ignored for 15 minutes, I called the SK. The man who answered said there was not wait and to come on in. I was there within a few minutes and done and out the door all in about 15 minutes. It was so easy! The guy there was very helpful, friendly, gave me excellent pricing, quick, and easy. I was there on 7/13 and wish I could recall his name! The shop is clean and professional. I would highly recommend SK and will be back again. read more

Super easy and a courteous and friendly tech. Bonus is that you can make an appointment. I didn't happen to have an appointment, but was still in and out in about 15 minutes. read more

Came here for smog on car that had been sitting for a few years. Chris ran smog first time, and it didn't pass. He then told me that he thinks if he runs it one more time that there's a chance it could pass. Ended up passing 2nd time and he didn't even charge me for a retest. I was very appreciative of his help since he could have just told me come back at a later time to try again and pay the retest fee. Definitely coming here again for any smog related needs. read more

Was treated very rudely by the attendant went to do a smog and first thing I was greeted with was "not going to happen!" If that's how they talk to customers no thanks! read more
