quick service, discount given. In and out in about 15 mins. Good location in Richmond.

Service needs to improve, nice inside , inside and out, And again we asked for th we pumpkin muffin heated it was not, read more

First coming here. They were efficient and smogging didn't take long. It passed smog inspection so quality is good. Will go here again since it's closer to home. Price is comparable to all the smog companies out there. There was only one issue was that there's no proper waiting area for customer's. read more

Was helped immediately as soon as pulled up. Great job and fast took about 15mins. They also offer to pay for your sticker and can get it there and then. They also have Spanish speakers for those that need it. read more

Had a smog check and Francisco was very professional and greeted me as soon as I entered the office. Got a very good price through the Yelp app. Highly recommend them. read more

The direction to get here is confusing. Once ai got here. It was fine. 40 min wait. Ugh. Tried to charge me $90. But told him about yelp review and it was $48. I'll write a better review for lower the price. Haha. read more

Superior Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Richmond, California

Excellent customer service. I recommend them 100%. Thank you so much for treating us like family.

Easy a fast service , I mentioned the yelp discount and I received it for my smog . My car passed the smog test needed in order to get my car tags would definitely come here again read more

I got a smog check notice from DMV for a registration renewal but I got my license plate stolen right after. I had to know if I still can get a smog check with the new license plate along with an old DMV notice and I got an answer from Superior Smog via my Yelp project posting. Plus they gave a $2 Yelp discount when I visited. Kind and helpful. read more

Great team of workers at this business; they are efficient and professional. I went through there for a smog test and they were able to get me taken care of within an hour. The test results were sent directly to DMV and I had my copy so they helped me prepare to complete my registration renewal at DMV. I highly recommend this business for quality, customer service and efficiency. read more

Owner was super responsive when I asked for an estimated price on Yelp. True to his word it was $48 (w/ coupon). He had a few cars ahead of me so it was 40 mins. You know this guy is a professional when he could estimate to the exact minute when he could start on my car. I watched him the entire time and he was working hard. Quick, efficient, great customer service, and local. I will go there again when my other cars are due for smog. Highly recommend. read more

4.5 stars, actually bc their hours are different on Yelp vs their website... I called to confirm hours but nobody picked up. I dropped in and they were open. Smog check done in like 15min -- awesome. Folks were friendly. I brought the coupon and saved a couple bucks. read more

Overall thorough with the smog, and clear communication. Honest as well! Answers all questions and is bilingual for those who need it!

I called for a quote and was able to get an appointment right away. They were friendly and it took no time at all. Will be coming back in the future. read more

Ricardo was very professional and soft spoken. Even though he had to juggle answering phone calls and receiving customers for a smog check he was very efficient. He made sure my car was ready for smog check before starting. Pricing was very competitive if not better than other smog places. $50 for my 04 Toyota. Will come back for my other cars! read more

When I called and booked an appointment they quoted me at $48 w/ the certificate. But when I got there, they tried to charge me $60. But shoutout to Yelp, I showed them the Yelp coupon for $39.75 (not including certificate) that you get for checking-in and they honored my discount. After we got the whole pricing thing fixed, I must say the rest was easy peasy. Super quick (like 10-15 minutes quick) and I was out the door. Oh and by the way my car passed. Definitely would call ahead and confirm the $$$$ and if they're busy or not. This establishment also "Se Habla Espanol". read more

Thanks to Yelp, I was connected to this great place. Within 20 min after my initial inquiry, the business owner Mr. Francisco R. responded with a quote. I took my car to the business site and his staff member Ricardo got me out the door for $48, which was exactly what Mr. Francisco wrote in his response "We can smog your vehicle. Mention the Yelp special at the front desk, and we can get you out the door for $48." Thank you, Mr. Francisco R and your team member Ricardo. I will see you in the future for all my smog check needs. Jenny L. read more

I wasn't going to bother to write this but I can't stop thinking of the incredibly weird experience I had here. I called to ask if I needed an appointment, he told me to come in fifteen minutes and he'd fit me in. Well I came earlier because I was in the neighborhood. No other customers were there but he still made me wait and watch Bob Ross on the tv. Weird!!! Then he starts on my car . In about ten minutes he comes out and says he can't work on my car because I have an anti theft cage on the catalytic converter. I explained that my cat was stolen about 5 years ago. The insurance replaced it and advised me to get a cage welded on. He told me that unless I had this 5 year old receipt from the welder, he couldn't work on my car. What a waste of time!!! I went down the street and got the car smogged no problem. I've also had it smogged two other years with the cage on, no problem. I then out of curiosity called 3 other smog shops to ask if they had ever heard of such a thing and they all said no, that it made no sense. I'd stay away if I were you, this place is just strange read more

3rd time here. I never make an appointment here, just show up, if there is only one or 2 cars parked your good to go, took 15 minutes plus the 5 minutes I waited for the car ahead of me to finish, I think it was about $60 with coupon. Good deli that serves toasted capicola grinders next door. read more

I love this place great customer Service and got my car in right on time and it was a busy day. They got me in and out like in 10 to 15 minutes. I will always come here for my smog check. read more

Well, this was the third of four smog places that I visited in one day. I came by here and parked, and was looking forward to going in. But I needn't bother. A young woman came out and asked me why I was parked there (not rudely, but not warmly either). I saw a black guy waiting for an SUV and figured it wasn't a race thing. I told her that I wanted to get a smog check on my car and she informed me that they were busy and that the owner wasn't taking anyone else. It was 12:45 in the afternoon and they closed at 3 pm. So, I figured that they didn't want my money and that I'd go to a place that did and showed that by providing the smog service that I wanted. And I did at my fourth stop of the day at Smog Express Richmond. Even though they closed at 6 pm, my car was done before 3 pm. And this is after having to wait for 2 1/2 cars before me. So, they did have a lot of cars on the lot, however, it looked like a giant mess! Not like there were a bunch of customers waiting. So, I started to pull away, but I couldn't because some guy was blocking the place I would have driven through with his car. I knew it was over when he was blocking the lane and then his wife and kids exited the car. Really?!? Children, running loose around a car. So I backed up the way I'd come in. Luckily no one was behind me, they must have received the message that he was neck-deep in "customers" and couldn't be bothered. I wish I'd gotten that message. Anyhow, the curve into the shop is fine but backing out was awkward because a car was parked right against the curb cut. Luckily for me, it was a Saturday, which meant much less traffic than normal, so I was able to fishtail my way out. Never again!!! Instead, head on over to Smog Express Richmond, they are wonderful. read more

Pretty quick service. The lady was polite and pleasant when she called to let me know my car was ready, the guy that helped me when I walked in was meh. He quoted me $85 for a smog on an '05 Prius. Told them I had a coupon from their website or yelp. He said no problem and charged me the discount rate. I'll be back in 2 years for another smog test. read more

I showed up at 1:30pm on 7/9/24 and all the doors were closed... There was a man there waiting and he said they went to lunch over an hour ago and so I looked inside and I saw a lady inside the business and she didn't want to answer the door or the phone, and then decided to close the curtain and turn off the open sign... very unprofessional and rude in my opinion read more

Quick and friendly. Reduced the rate when I showed a Yelp coupon. In and out in 20 minutes.

All good except one thing they have only few parking spaces and most of the time you need to wait for your turn price is reasonable and the front desk receptionist is very friendly read more

The quickest smog test I've ever gotten done. I was in and out in probably 10-15 min. Great customer service, super friendly. Let them know you've seen them on yelp for a discount. Thanks Francisco! Parking can be challenging, the lot is small. read more

These people are the kindest people for being in the business there in. They took me within a half hour and I could see they had a lot of work to do. I'd just had a bad experience with another smog company and the difference was night and day. Sun was out, they set me in a lawn chair in the sun and gave me a cup of coffee. The owner who was working on my van stopped what he was doing and got me a phone charger as my phone was almost dead. They were kind , thoughtful And did a thorough job smogging the van. Rejoiced with me when it passed. I will be taking my business there from now on. Not only were they good but super friendly and helpful. It was a good experience read more

Communication is so key! I went for a smog on a Saturday morning, and was told that it would be a wait. I was also given an appointment, and my car was smogged within a 10 minute window of the time I was given. It's always easier to let customers know on the front end how long the wait will be versus letting customers just sit and hope that the team remembers the order for everyone, and I feel like this team handled their busy schedule perfectly! read more

Great place! Easy and affordable place. Excellent customer service. Francisco did a great job.

Such kind people--I did not expect a pleasant experience at a smog test, but this is great service. Use the yelp coupon, cheapest I found in this part of the East Bay. read more

Quality service that is worth the wait, I failed my first inspection but with the quick help from staff I was able to find the problem and fix it within the hour. Came back and passed with flying colors. If you need a reasonably priced smog inspection, look no further. read more

These people are both slow and expensive. A smog test for a sedan would run you around $69 ($78 for a new car) The smog technician kept me waiting while he talked to his friend, then he kept talking to the receptionist for the duration of the exam. Other place get it done in like 5 min, in and out. I'm never taking my car there again! read more

Professional and friendly. I have had many smooth and painless smog checks here and will be back!

I have been here several times...I may have a car problem. Aside from that, I have always been treated with warmth and fairness here. And now, they have been offering a really great price. Go here, people! read more

This guy is dishonest. He tried to charge me $137 for a basic smog. When I asked why it was so expensive, he pulled out a piece of paper from the trash and said it was a coupon, then he charged me $80. I have found out since that most smogs in Richmond are $45. Don't let him fool you. read more

Service was very friendly and the smog test was very fast. They have an online coupon deal which made it even better. I had no problem with parking and waiting 5 minutes after they came to my car when it was my turn. I will definitely come back here for my next smog check. They submitted my vehicle inspection to DMV and offer to handle your registration for a fee if you want to have everything done in one stop. read more

If I could give this place more stars I would.....a real service to the community. Most smog shops feel janky. Not this one.

It's good and fast customer service and I got my sticker right away from the shop. The only thing I took out a star because nobody tell me they need to charge $30 for the service fee to renew the registration. I found out that after home and check the CC receipt. I still happy with their service overall but I will renew online by myself next time. read more

Grateful! The good folks at Superior Smog was able to take my car in an hour before they closed for the day. The staff was super friendly and quick! They gave me the Yelp discount with no hesitation. I think I was there for a total of 20 mins. Spanish speaking business as well! I would definitely recommend Superior Smog! read more

Fast, friendly, professional! Brought 2012 Subaru STi here along with C.A.R.B. paperwork from the Cobb website the Cobb AOS and Intake. Smogged and registered (with 2023 stickers) all in ~25 mins. This is how it should be done! read more
