After seeing the reviews from Yelp , and hearing first hand experience from my girlfriend, I knew this was the place bring my car for a Smog. I called on a Saturday Morning right as they opened asking if I could stop by to get a smog done for a Title/ Registration Transfer. They mentioned that they would need to wait for one of their team members who works on older cars , and there should be availability around 11-11:30. With that in mind, I waited till about 11:15 to head over. I brought my car up and was promptly given a receipt and directed to the waiting area. I didn't have an appointment but all in all I only had to wait about an hour (which was great considering the number of other cars being worked on). Service was friendly, efficient, and well priced. Will definitely be stopping by here for my annual registration. read more

On time & nice staff. Good to know how much the costs will be up front. Mention your discount before the write up the service quote.

Smogged my car without an appointment. Nice to get it done in San Francisco, close to home.

Have been coming here for years to get cars smog tests. Convenient location on 19th and Taraval. They usually are very busy when they first open so best to come early mid morning after they clear out the early birds? Super quick service and you can wait there while they work on your car. Often I walk over to Safeway a couple blocks away and do some shopping and then come back. Ask for their internet price. Best value for me. read more

They had a couple waiting chairs which I used to do some work while I waited. The smog check plus certificate was about $64. Overall super quick and efficient service! read more

Quick, great service. The entire family uses this test location for smog certifications.

Awesome! My go-to-place for Smog Checks! Fast, Efficient, Friendly, and just plain quick and affordable too.. PRO TIPS: 1) Try calling first to book an appointment, and then show up, otherwise you might have to wait. If you have to wait, just get some lunch across the street at the many restaurants or go grocery shopping/lunch/snacks at Safeway a block away. Two birds with one stone.. DONE. 2) Ask for the Yelp Discount to get $5 off! Hey.. that's almost a free gallon of gas! My Story: I tried calling, couldn't get them on the phone, because they only had one person on staff so bright and early at 815am, so I just drove right over to book a time. Lucky for me, they had an appointment cancellation, so they were able to squeeze me right in within 15 minutes. I was in and out within 45 minutes! DONE! read more

Smogging again. Looks like they got new chairs from the last time I was here. Quick in and out as usual. read more

Amazing service and customer service from Rocky and Howard! These men really know their stuff, you're in and out so quick, even though I just did a walk-in in the middle of the day. Great prices for smog, will never go anywhere else. read more

Getting a smog check is a chore, to be sure, but at least this business makes it possible to get done quickly and efficiently. I called midday and they told me I could bring car right in. When I arrived I went to park on the side to check in, but a friendly employee waved me right over to pull in front of the garage. I was directed to the no-frills seating area, filled out some paperwork, and within 15 minutes they had completed the check. The report to the DMV electronically, and advised me to wait a day before being able to see the smog check reflected in the DMV system. Fast, efficient, friendly and cost competitive. I will definitely be back when this comes up again. read more

Flawless reviews on Yelp, and 0.3 miles away from my house. Now talk about amazing!!! It gets better though. I go midday, there's only 2 other people getting Smog Checks done at the time. The workers there confirm that I need a Smog Check - I say Yes - they tell me 15-20 minutes!!! And 17 minutes & 1 Yelp Review later, I'm approached with, "Ma'am, your Beamer is done now". $59.95 later, I'm out. Now that's what you call incredible! read more

Currently, a smog test plus certificate (if passed) costs $59.95 for a sedan year 2000 or newer. The technician said the $46.70 price listed in the "Details" section is old and not valid for a while. Call first to confirm if you decide to go to another cheaper smog test location. Otherwise, this place's good and honest service is worth it. They take appointments but do walk-ins though there might be a wait (e.g., end of the day when people are off work). Easy-to-use find, on 19th Ave right at Taraval intersection. read more

Quick and convenient. Called in the morning, got an appointment in the afternoon. Arrived, some quick paperwork and the in & out took 15 min. I sat and read some news and boom, all done.

19th and Taraval Smog Test MINUS 5 Stars DO NOT PATRONIZE this station !! I went to 2 other Smog Test stations and both of them said that they would NOT CHRRGE me based on an initial inspection (long story). Thought I'd try 19th and Taraval. This station charged me because I passed, BUT did not issue a certificate because they could not see EO (Executive Order) numbers. Went to another station and they passed me. Went back to 19th and Taraval to request a refund. They argued with me and simply said no. A negative, minus 5 review will occur monthly till my refund is issued. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS STATION read more
