Dinkleberg! Passed my smog. I was helped out and on my way within 15 minutes. Fast service even on a busy day. About $65 for the smog service.
Really friendly owner and mechanic on-site. Was able to do a walk in smog check very short wait for my vehicle to be inspected with only one vehicle ahead of me. Would definitely come back for next star certified smog check
$50 for the smog of 10+ years car. Pass or no charge. $2.5 for non-cash fee. Took only 10 minutes for the whole thing when arriving with no other cars. Took about 20 minutes when arriving with a car ahead of me. People there are friendly and courteous. The only issue is the parking space. There is just one space for a waiting car to park and if there are 3 cars waiting, it gets really difficult for 2 other cars doing the smog to get out and waiting cars to move in.
I first called the Market street location and was told their smog check machine was out of order and to go to their Kings street location. I went there and I was told they had no technician on duty and to go to the Market Street location. I told them that I had been told to go to Kings street and they were confused and told me the tech would be back in a few minutes. So I waited and the tech finally showed up, spent about a half hour, and told me my car did not pass, not because there was something wrong, but because he apparently did not know how to do something involved with the ignition timing. He told me to go to the Market Street location the next day. I am writing this as I just got home, and I have no intention of returning to either location, but will look for another more competent smog check location.
Service was fast. The workers were kind of grumpy, maybe because it was early in the morning. Who knows. There was no waiting area, I just stood outside until my smog check was done.
Ulises, great place. I've been going there from the first car I've gotten. 36 years now. Never scammed me. Thank God. Honest and reasonable that's why he has made it in this city for so long. May he continue to do good work and stay humble.
I showed up because of the no smog no pay guarantee. Its true however if it doesn't pass, they want to charge "$100 for a diagnostic test that needs to be done" when everyone knows the codes show up right then and there. The guy wasnt so friendly either. The price for the smog is reasonable at only $50.
Went for a smog on a Monday around 4 pm pulled up in my old 92 Mazda took care of me right away friendly staff. Passed and everything plus even if it didn't no pass no pay good for me just in case something was wrong! Overall great experience for smog!
Something Good
I liked that if the smog doesnt pass, you dont pay!
It was the best service I have ever received in my entire life at this place.
Best place in town for smog....very fast
Good treatment and they explain your problem everything comes I recommend it
Good job
Its a good place to smog the cars here.
If it doesnt happen, you dont pay and they tell you what your car is, very kind.
I went to check the smog in my car and they attended to me immediately and in a very courteous manner. I recommend it to all my family and friends!!!

Rude and left my car worse than before. Negative 5 stars
Good customer service..
Very good service and efficient diagnosis. It is an excellent mechanical workshop and the guys are very friendly and professional. It is the workshop that is on Market Street.
smog check was way overpriced, cost me $73.00 !!! JAn 2023 should be $30-$60 range
Yes good service
They get it done ..
They replaced my catalytic converter to pass the smog test but broke my odometer cable while doing the repair. I talked to owner and didnt want to take responsibility. Never went back. Negative
Very good service I recommend them
Very good service
Fast
Been going there for years.
It was my first time being theyre very friendly
Good service and very efficient team.
It is very beautiful landscape...
The guy that helped me did not know what he was talking about. He told me that my vehicle didnt pass cause the check engine light didnt turn on but they can do a 3 hour diagnostic for $100 to see if the light bulb was out. My friend who is a mechanic told me that my jeep doesnt have a check engine light. Went back and still he told me the same thing. Went to another smog and they told me that my jeep doesnt have a check engine light and it passed. I felt like this guy tried to rip me off. Never going back there again.
Do not trust these people with ur car
Good guys. Honest estimate.
Very well, they serve customers very well
They are doing fraud with the smoh chec. Saying that parts need to be changed. If not, it doesnt happen.
Becarefull this places its fraudulent. Go another smoke station for your safety.
Last Minute Smog.. Open until 6pm...Fast... Done in 15 minutes!

The actual mechanic is good, the chubby helper always got a attitude & got a stank face look like he hates his job.

One of the few places open on Sundays. First come first serve. Owner operated one man shop.

I recommend this place to all the people who know now you know
Smog check is a smog check but keep in mind its $50. Yea u dont pay if it doesnt pass but the chance of that is very low. There are other places that charge $35.
Good work..fast..efficient and good service.
These Guys are a straight up SCAM!! DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO THESE GUYS.
Good friendly and great service
Amazing service, very professional staff, in and out in less than 10 minutes. Would recommend to friends
Bad service...I took my car to have the brakes and the turning of the front discs changed...but after 5 days the problem came back...they dont do the job well and whats annoying is that they make you lose the car again. time again to one.Brekas installation guarantee of 5...I didnt like this place at all.
Very Bad Service Experience. They will try to rob you. I won t ever come back to this place .Im warning you guys Rip Offs. The Dark skin mexican mechanic working there needs to get fired. Unprofessional AT ALL
A terrible place is one that looks Nicaraguan and only wants to charge you and doesnt do the work.
For the good work and they are very kind
Because they have provided me with good service, very friendly staff.
Great place for smoking your car... was fast and employees were nice
This place I like it because when I bring my vehicles to pass the smog inspection, this guys have a good service and fast without appointments, so besides other places I love it, the parking lot is a little small, but you dont need to wait much,
AVOID THIS PLACE your car will get broken into they will make you pay for damages they will replace your stereo with the cheapest they can find. Itll take weeks to repair the smallest of things. If you take your car here you deserve whatever happens.
They do not recognize customers loyalty
Get your smog here. If you dont pass you dont pay. Very helpful, sometimes there are wait times.
Smog runner computer does not really work sometimes.
Great place to smog your vehicle if it passes you pay if it does not pass you will not pay.
Good service
Bad customer service. Employees are rude.
Got a smog here and they took an hour & previously came here and it took like 10 minutes also i got smogged lasts . I was here while there wasnt anyone waiting for smog and two people showed up after me and they got smogged and they dont do appointments. I dont recommend this smog station. I recommend west coaast auto service on 21 bishop st in watsonville
Fast service
Great deal. No pass, no pay Smog Test (for cars above specific model year).
Good place to smog your car
Very fast service
Scam
In general this is not a good place to get your auto smoged.. they over charge and the employees are very rude.
