Great service, efficient, affordable. Make sure you mention the Yelp discount. I think it took less than 20 mins. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Located on the corner of El Camino & B St. Again, quick and easy smog test. Dropped off 8.30am and picked up at 9 am. Usually about 20 mins wait time. Mention the coupon on their site for $50 cash payment. A convenience charge of $1.75 extra for credit card payments. Restrooms are available inside. The waiting room, can be overcrowded at times. It would be nice to have the windows opened or have outside seating available. However, this is still my go to for reasonably priced smog tests. read more

Star Smog Depot - 5/23/26 - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Colma, California

I've used their services many times, and every experience has been excellent. The process is always smooth, fast, and -- most importantly -- reasonably priced. The staff is truly outstanding: professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to getting things done right the first time. It's rare to find a team that combines efficiency with real customer care, but they consistently deliver on both. Reliable, transparent, and easy to work with -- I highly recommend them. read more

Most affordable spot with the discount. I got my 2010 Honda crv Car Smog Tested + certificate. Originally I saw the $98 and then I told them I had the coupon. Total came out to be $51.75 including the credit card fee . Was in 8:32am and was done/left at 8:54 ~ 22 minutes total. Thanks for the amazing work . read more

I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp! After visiting Cypress Lawn, I came here for my annual smog check. It was $50 if you mention the Yelp coupon and pay cash. $1.75 more if paying with credit card. Good thing I had enough cash. I only had to wait 10-15 mins so very fast! read more

Star Smog Depot - Business card - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Colma, California

I was in and out without much wait time. They no longer accepted the coupons, but still gave me a discounted price. There is ample parking and a waiting room. I would recommend this place if you are in need of a smog. read more

Dropped in, there were a few cars on the bays and a a couple other ones waiting to served. Got checked in, filled out paperwork. Within a few minutes, my car got pulled into a bay to get smogged. I stepped away to take a quick call. When I returned, they called me in to check out. Smooth, quick, and efficient process from the get-go. Staff was nice upon and check in and check out. If you pay with credit/debit, you'll get hit with $1.50 charge. Otherwise it's $50 cash out-the-door. Either way, still great prices especially with the service and efficiency. read more

Good service and fair pricing and is my new go to spot for smog checks. I initially went to a smog check spots by my house and their labor rates depends on the type of vehicle. I had a pickup truck and the shop I went to initially wanted $100 plus the $8.75 certificate, which I politely declined. I came here right when they opened and was in and out within 10 minutes. While you fill out the paperwork, the technician moves your car into position on the bay. Moral of the story, it didn't take much more work to perform a smog check on a sedan which was being done side by side. The process is automated by pulling data from the car computer and they do a walk around for a visual inspection. The staff here operate very efficiently to get as many cars in and out as fast as possible. Remember to bring cash or run to an ATM on the way, as there's a $1.75 credit card surcharge. read more

Extremely efficient operation. This place is popular because you'll likely get mail coupons directly or from those value pak coupon envelopes. Overall it's a reasonably priced joint (with coupon) especially they would give you a free test within 30 days if you fail the test the first time. This is a test only location and although you might need to wait a bit, you would most likely how quickly they get to your car. The people there are always young and once again extremely efficient. Takes away all the stress of doing one extra thing when you renew your vehicle. There is a surcharge for using credit cards but it's not too much. The restroom is clean and big and there is a TV in the waiting room but most people are on their phones anyways. read more

Be aware, they'll charge you $89.75 plus email certificate, total $98; it's super expensive than anywhere in Bay Area!!!

Star Smog Depot was amazing. Super fast service, very friendly staff, and the whole process was smooth and efficient from start to finish. They got me in and out quickly while still providing great customer service. Highly recommend if you need a smog check done hassle-free. Look for Aaron! He's great! read more

Should've knew to check Yelp first for any deal they had. My boyfriend highly recommended this place, so I didn't think I had to research anywhere else to get smog done. Parked our car and was greeted right away, automatically quoted us $98 for smog. I'm like wait a min, $98 for a smog?? I've never heard of such a high price. My boyfriend then mentioned he had only paid around $50 last time he was there, the guy said he'll honor that price but next time he'll need a coupon. They were fast at checking our car, in and out within 10 mins but 3 stars for an expensive price.... The least they could do was ask if we had a coupon or check in thru Yelp for the coupon.... read more

Amazing, in and out in less than 20 minutes, Super duper customer service. Clean bathroom, coupon! read more

Conveniently located on El Camino Real in Colma, and easy to pull up to.

I needed to get a smog test in order to sell my car. This place had an online deal where you get the test for 50$ and I heard good things about it so I stopped by. The service was quick and the team was nice. I ended up passing the test and it only took me about 10-15 minutes. I'll likely be back when I need to register my new car. Thanks Star Smog! read more

Star Smog Depot - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Colma, California

Super easy and quick service!!! When you pull into the lot park into a guest parking space, from there someone will approach to gather your information. From there they take your car and run the test. The whole process was maybe 20 minutes and they have a comfortable waiting area with a bathroom. I came in around 230 PM on Saturday and was in and out! Be sure to use the coupon listed if not the smog test is roughly $100. Additionally bring cash if possible - there is a $1.50 charge for card. read more

Super fast service. In and out with my smog test in 15 minutes. With Yelp check in it was $50 ish not bad. Streamlined business. Will be back when it's time for my next test. read more

Went to get a smog check and the guy there was so rude he simply turned around and said "you're going to have to come back...there are too many cars. I can't take you. You're going to have to come back!" So RUDE!! I get they are busy but there's a way to speak to customers and the way he spoke was not it!! Never going to go back. read more

Second time coming here with the same vehicle for my DMV Renewal Smog Check and still impressed with the service. They quoted me 15-20 min but they pulled my car right into the garage after I parked and was literally done in 8 min after I was filling out my information on the form. Didn't get to enjoy the oil scent diffuser long enough that they have in the waiting room, smelled really good, it's definitely a vibe. Definitely recommend this place. read more

2025 update. It seems like everyone and their relatives come to Star Smog Depot. It took 30 minutes to do my smog check today at 11am. It was $48 + $1.50 for credit card. The staff here are cool. I recognized a few of them from two years ago. Be sure to mention the coupon. They know what they are doing and are fast. Bang bang, in and out. Good job my friends at Star Smog Depot. read more

Amazing smog check station! The service was so efficient AND friendly AND price is very reasonable (bring in or mention the coupon). Even though the team was super busy on a holiday Monday, they were really fast at acknowledging that my car had arrived and taking down car details and completing the service. The waiting room is comfortable. It was worth the drive to come here-highly recommend! read more

In and out time was fast. Process was great. I am impressed. I docked 2 stars because I saw the technician drop my hood from the highest height and made a loud slam, much louder than usual. Please don't do that to people's cars. Lower it before dropping it. read more

My husband and I came here earlier today for a smog check. They are quick and efficient. There are no hidden fees, but they do let you know that there's a $1.50 service fee charge for using card. If your car passes smog, then they also give you a certificate. Walk-ins are welcome and they have a designated area for you to park. It's a small shop, but they get the smog check done within 10-15 minutes. I highly recommend this place for smog check! :) read more

They tried to charge $129.95 and when I told them that I came earlier this year with another car and with the coupon it was much cheaper they when down to 79.95 ....still a ripoff Avoid. read more

Wow! Super efficient, professional, and friendly! Easy to find and there are plenty of parking spaces!

This place is awesome and processed my smog hella fast even though there were 5 peeps ahead of me. Also a coffee shop next door.

They usually open at 8am, but they were up and ready by 7:40am and they got my car finished by 7:53 am. Very friendly and great service. Fast and efficient and very cost effective. They allowed me to use a coupon that lowered the cost to 41$ before taxes. First time having to get a smog in a long time and it went very smoothly. Best time to go is early AM during the week if possible. No lines, no crowd and in n out in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend anyone to get a smog to come here. 5 star service!!!! read more

Fast, friendly service always! We really do bring all of our cars here. They've got good prices. Get your smog check here.

* Efficient * Clean * Polite customer service I thought all the young gentlemen co-owned the location because I would drive by and watch them work so efficiently and effectively together when passing on El Camino. Turns out they are all technicians that genuinely enjoy working with one another! The waiting room is neat & tidy. They even have an aroma therapy dispenser that spritzes every few minutes to counter the smell of the shop. I highly recommend this place. I brought in a coupon mailer but all you need to do is mention their Yelp coupon and you should be good! Nathan helped me both times but I found all the gentlemen working had a similar approach to customer service. read more

Star Smog Depot - Waiting room - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Colma, California

Fast, friendly. Min waiting and they have a lounge. The guys keep things moving. Easiest smog so far.

These folks are the best. They're always fast, their coupon makes them one of the cheapest in town (their business model is VOLUME!), and they're so kind. Last time I was there my two little boys were asleep in the car. After I checked in I stayed with the boys until it was my turn, and then the staff waited patiently while I got them out. Someone even picked up a dinosaur my little boy dropped. I felt welcomed and cared for--not what I was expecting from a smog check! read more
