Super easy and straight forward. I found their coupon via a Google search. They honored the price, told me clearly what the final out the door price was before they started the work. Even though there were 2 cars in front of mine, got me done in less then 30 min. Wish other smog places were this easy. I'll be coming back. read more

Lloyd got me hooked up quickly and for a good cost. I was working on title transfer over at the DMV and they sent me over to smogndash for a quick job to get everything done. Good experience and would recommend. read more

This is my second time coming to Smog N Dash and the service is excellent. This will now be my new smog shop! They ran the test on my Jeep and they were super fast and efficient - I was literally in and out in 15 minutes! Kristie at the desk and Lloyd the tech were great, kudos to Steve for running a great shop. Highly recommend for getting the DMV sticker on your plate! read more

Excellent service, priced well below what many quote! Efficient too! An honest young man doing honest work. Highly recommend his service! read more

Called in advance...only took 30 minutes to get my car certified....fast and helpful

Just as the name states Drop your car off for a Smog, and jam on out of there. A little difficult to find but was able to find with a little guidance of the friendly guy at shop. He was the only worker I saw but got me out within 40 mins. My car needed a Smog check for me to re register my car at DMV. I was quoted below $50 and for a 2000 something Toyota and he kept his word. Got out in a jiff and was able to get the paperwork finished so I can provide the DMV with the necessary paperwork. Definitely the shop's name is what it represents for people on the go. read more

I appreciate the ease this business provided; the price, the time and the convenience was entirely worth it. I walked in at 5:40 and left 15 minutes later. They offer a great price for a smog check and an automatic delivery to the dmv which takes care of any concerns I might have had. This is my second time coming here and I'll be returning again! read more

This place is awesome! Tucked away from the beaten path - so keep an eye out when you roll in. It is literally smog-and-dash - didn't event take 15 mins. The guy was real nice and was very careful not to dirty the truck. P.S. Get the coupon before you visit the place - also they have $19.99 oil change! read more

Good service and the smog technicians stay diligent. Make sure you call ahead to see how long the wait is. I would recommend leaving your vehicle while having lunch near by or go shopping at Target down the street. Each vehicle takes 10 to 15 minutes to smog. read more

A friend of mine recommended this place after listening to me complain about what an overpriced hassle smogging my truck was. In fact, I had been procrastinating for like 3 months. Seriously. Because I was so apprehensive about the whole thing, my friend offered to take me there herself. (What a good friend!) Admittedly, I would have had a bit of a hard time finding the place without her showing me.... But my negative outlook changed as soon as we pulled up. The technician came out to greet us before we even had a chance to park, and was very courteous and friendly. He took my keys and directed us to a comfortable, air-conditioned waiting area. As a drop-in with no appointment, I expected a long wait- you can imagine how surprised I was when the technician popped his head in the door and announced "ok, your all set" after about 25 minutes. My truck passed with flying colors and it was super reasonably priced to boot. 25 minutes well spent! read more

pros: fast service, price was exactly as stated on the coupon on their site (larger cars and older cars have additional charges it seems. I have a compact 6 year old car so it was the lowest rate), Guy who helped me was nice. cons: reviews aren't kidding on hard to find location, It almost like an alley attached behind the vietnamese restaurant parking lot. The parking here is also a disaster, and the mechanics at the other businesses don't seem to follow the one way sign much. Waiting room is very small, only a couple chairs, so I waited outside. Overall, I got what I needed at a fair price and didn't wait more than 40 minutes despite a few people being ahead of me in line. read more

Love these guys. Above and beyond customer service and the chops to match. Steve & Matt, thank you for all the help. #highlyrecommended read more

Excellent service and price. Incredibly quick! A little tricky to find but you will be happy you did.

The cost was considerably more than was apparent, for my pre-year-2000 car. While it appeared that the cost would be $34.95 + $8.50 for a state certificate, in fact there were additional tests that are required for a pre-2000 car, that tacked on an additional $30. This was not made apparent on the website coupon. I ended up paying around $74. I don't know how competitive this is with other services. I advise that you call ahead if you have a pre-year-2000 car to get full cost estimates. The service itself was OK. read more

Been going here for years, glad they dropped the extra fee for using a credit card. They said the wait would be 45 minutes, (ugh) but took me in 15-20 minutes, phew! I was looking online for another place to go, so that was lucky. read more

They posted a coupon for $26.95, large, bright letters. When I got there, they wanted $49. They justified it on all but illegible small type in the coupon that says additional charges would apply due to "star". When I said the type was illegible, even in the 4x magnified laminated printout he immediately pulled out which was obviously there for customers that dare to call them on their BS). Needless to say, I declined and found a more honest provider, but they wasted about an hour of my time going there. read more

I had a very bad experience when I took my car in to be smogged. I called ahead and had an appointment. When I presented my coupon for $24.75 plus certificate I was told "we are not accepting any coupons". There was no explanation given. I pointed out that I had made the appointment in advance and was not told this. I also showed the coupon which had no expiration. I was told I could pay the $49.99 or leave. read more

Always very quick to get in & out and the price can't be beat. The owner is very friendly and it seems that most customers love this place.

This place was great! Walked right in this morning without an appointment and was out within 15 minutes, so quick and hassle free!

I showed up at 9:15am for my smog check. Steve was running the show. He signed me in, I waited a bit, my turn came & I was certified, paid at out by 9:50am. Thanks Steve, your service lives up to it's name..! read more

Best, fastest, cheapest, friendliest smog test in my 40+ years in Walnut Creek! Highest recommendation. I'm glad I noticed the coupon in my mail. read more

Great place for a smog and really good prices. I work close by so it was convenient for sure. I had my both my cars smog checked and both passed in the same week. Thanks again ! read more

I had a great experience here. The two gentlemen at the shop didn't waste anytime. I was in and out with the certificate in hand in under 15 minutes. read more

Smog N Dash made my life really easy this morning! The young man was very polite and they got me in and out within about 20 minutes or so. The price was a nice perk too! Thank you!!! read more

Great price and super quick service. I'm a little pissed at myself I didn't find this place sooner. Been to a couple smog stations in Walnut Creek and they all pale in comparison. In and out in 20 min. Brought both my cars there in one day since they were that fast. 10/10 would smog again. read more

Steve and his crew took VERY good care of me. I purchased a '97 Dodge camper van conversion a couple of weeks ago that is a bit complicated to smog because it was built to Canadian specs by the conversion company and is not really set up for CA smog regulations. I'm from out of town but I went to see Steve on a friend's recommendation. These guys found the CA inspector certification/bar code in the door frame, got me smogged properly, and made sure I was good to go and title my sweet van with no hassles and no extra cost. Very reasonable price and great service. AND... I needed a front-end alignment and they hooked me up with a great guy with good equipment (my van is HEAVY) less than100 yards from their shop. They took care of it all and moved it back and forth. Super nice. Thank you Steve and crew! read more

Hey guys, this place is AWESOME! They are friendly, efficient, and fast. They take the time to explain the process if you need it and then they get the job done! Steve & Matt are TERRIFIC and thoughtful. TAKE YOUR CARS HERE FOR SMOGS! You will not be disappointed! read more

I've been here three times and it's been the same each time. In and out very quickly, friendly service, great price as quoted with no B.S. about "extra for blah blah blah" or "you didn't pass because blah blah blah". Do yourself a favor and use these guys!!! read more

Had my son go get the car smog and they had a cheap "get you in the door price" but mandated an upcharge of $20 for "Star Station". What a crock when I called them to better understand their high up charge is that they said there were only one other Star certified station in Walnut Creek (wrong there are 12) and they had to upcharge due to CA making them spend more for equipment. Bunch of BS as all stations will have to upgrade in certain counties no matter what. They can easily add these garbage fees to their web site but said it wasn't necessary????? Just another dishonest business taking advantage when a customer walks in the door. Buyer beware. read more

If you have a Porsche or any exotic car this is THE place to go! Steve the owner is an awesome guy and has a true passion for cars! I I've taken over 8 cars here and it's usually in and out. Parking is a little tight so do be careful as it's one way as well. read more

Such a great shop to bring your car for a smog check!! Very knowledgeable, reasonable and quick. I highly recommend this smog shop!

Fast, easy, and nice. No appt needed. In/out quickly on a Saturday. Thank you for getting my BMW done! Best in Walnut Creek area.

You get what you don't pay for. As advertised, came in for $19.99 check and was charged $29.99 for a failed test and the young man doing the check was a huge prick about it, like I ruined his day or something. He treated everyone like they were idiots and he was king of the smog world. Went to smog referee and they passed me no problem. read more

Just used these guys again. Fast, polite, honored very good price.

Tried this place out, the staff was really RUDE! Their website states they will take competitors coupons, Well they did not take mine. Paid $40 decent price I guess, but could not use the $10 off coupon. They did complete the job with 15 minutes!. That was a plus, No waiting room only 2 chairs in the small office. read more

Called ahead for a price and to see what the line was like. I was told there was one in line, and once I got there, they took care of everything within 20 minutes for a very decent price. If you did need to wait, the Pho place nearby is pretty good. read more

The best discount I was quoted! Everywhere I called from concord to walnut creek wanted $60-$100 for smog test out the door. James gave me exceptional service for much cheaper! Will be getting all my smogs here! read more

Fast, efficient and nice. What more can you ask for? My daughter drives an older Nissan Altima. We were worried it wouldn't pass. But, it did! Oh, they had the best price in Walnut Creek and Lamorinda. read more

Great experience. A little difficult to find, but worth it. Convenient, quick and reasonably priced! Thank you

I went to this place like many others because of the coupon. They told me it would take 10 minutes but it ended up taking 45 while I'm watching their mechanics horse around, cracking crude jokes with each other, and fixing some other persons car. Too many competitors for me to use these guys again. read more
