Came here for a smog test and was so impressed by the efficiency and friendly service. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes. Their price is also unbeatable. Highly recommended! read more

Price fine -he asked me what I'd seen online and accepted the price I stated. His info on the extra charge for the 1995 or older car was pleasantly put and matched what I'd seen on the website. The test was done quickly and methodically. As he saw my battery was in a corroded state he told me how I could do some long term home repairs on the terminals and also topped up the water over the battery plates which he hoped would keep it in better shape in the meantime His attitude was "regular guy" and better than the new ownership place I went to last year. This is also way nicer a location than many places I've been to read more

This is my favorite smoke check station, in and out within 10 minutes. Price is right as will, I'll definitely return for all my smoke check needs. read more

4 Less Smog Check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Berkeley, California

This is a one man show: on my visit he worked hard and quickly but was constantly interrupted by customers asking about where to wait (there's no lineup). Cash only. No ammenities (but there's a full City of Berkeley Library with 24/7 Free Wi-Fi across the street). Unlike other places they do list a price on the website, which is good. Coupons exist for better prices, so if you care, look around. Turns out my right front tire was flat (less than 10 psi), but the guy made no note of it, even though it looked hideously flat on the dynamometer. The experience was OK, but next time I'll splurge for the better overall experience at 7 Days a Week Smog Test on San Pablo, where I went last time. read more

Hands down the best, quickest smog check imaginable. I was in and out within 5-7 minutes. Thank you to the kind, friendly, efficient man who helped me. This place has my highest recommendation! read more

Fast and efficient. No wait Cost $38.00 cash for our SUV Ask for the internet special. read more

Couldn't believe my luck stumbling upon this place. You would think given its location that this place would be super expensive. On the contrary, it has prices the likes of which I would usually drive across town to get. Prices aside, the service was impressively courteous and prompt. The gentleman had me in and out literally in less than 10 minutes. Very flexible accommodating prompt courteous inexpensive. I'm hooked. Next time I need a smog check I'm coming to 4less. read more

Went here for the every two year smog check. Quick, friendly and efficient service. Thank you!

In and out. Easy, quick and affordable. Jose Luis did my smog check and he was very helpful and friendly.

Good deal through Yelp, make sure you bring cash . Fast and Great service! It was a bit of a drive for us but we refuse to take out business back to the previous place we use to go to In el cerrito, cust service wasnt good at all. read more

4 Less Smog Check - Great service and super fast. Good deal when you check in - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Berkeley, California

This place was super speedy, efficient, and inexpensive! I was in and out of there on a Saturday afternoon in about 15 minutes.

Best smog I've ever had super quick great price, just mention Yelp for coupon and had seating while we were waiting but only took like 5 mins read more

Found this business on yelp while looking for a smog check in north Berkeley. Friendly and fast service. In and out in 7 minutes. Will never go anywhere else now. read more

Just be careful with this guy! He will try to rip you off. He tried to sell his $20 smog check for $68. I did smog last year and paid only $20. When I told him that I paid only $20 he said it's impossible! I showed him my receipt which I still had in the car... and had to show him his Yelp add ($20). His job was done and I had no option financially I paid him $38, but I will never go back there. Ps. To be fair he is not busy, you'll be done quickly, and since he is not a mechanic I feel his only intention is to pass your smog and get paid. Not like other mechanics that might try to make some extra dollars from you. read more

Great customer service. JL was friendly and efficient. Smog test smooth and the price fair.

Price is right, they are always quick, efficient and very nice. I take all my cars here whenever the smog comes up, why go anywhere else?!!

Attendant was prompt and friendly. The smog check itself was the fastest I've ever experienced. He said it would be 5min and it honestly felt like less. Great deal if you mention finding them in Yelp too. Overall probably my favorite smog check location. Won't be going anywhere else in the future. read more

Great service and great price with the Yelp coupon. JL was very helpful and fast. It only took a few minutes to get the car smogged and the certificate sent to the DMV. Then I was able to get on my way. read more

I also enjoy coming here for the biannual smog check. It is a lovely spot. The price is reasonable. The owner and mechanic are warm and efficient. The number to call is 510-444-0222. (When I called Chevron I received an indiscernible reply and hangup.) read more

Great service! Friendly and efficient. Jason took great care of my husband when he took in my hybrid for its smog check. My husband was also impressed that Jason took time to help a lady who was struggling with the gas pump even though the smog check station is a separate business from the gas station. Price is right as well. We will definitely return here for all our smog needs! read more

4 Less charged my girlfriend $60 for a smog check, twice the fair price that you can find at any smog test station in Berkeley. They failed her because her engine light was on (an automatic fail, you don't even have to run the test), and did not explain this to her. They were also rude to me when I went in to ask why they charged her so much and why they did not explain to her why she failed. read more

Wow, super fast and efficient! I was going to sit down and check my email, but didn't even have time. Was in and out in 10 minutes. (It helps if you go on a rainy day!) read more

J.L. (Juan Louis) was friendly and very helpful. I've been going to 4 Less Smog Check for some years now, and will definitely continue!

Look, STAR tests or whatever they call it, cost more. GET A COUPON if you can then GO HERE. Jason gets you in and out. He won't chat your ear off, but he'll answer all your questions, give you good, sound, experienced advice, and get you where you want to be...OUT on the road again. He's right to the point and VERY GOOD at his job. Been going here for years and it's the only place I'll go. (And he's got a rockin' dog, named Ranger you can hang with). read more

They advertise a price of 28. It's really 38. Still pretty quick, but a little misleading on the price read more

4 Less Smog Check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Berkeley, California

Wow. I have been going to this Smog Check for years with very satisfactory results. The previous technician was a middle-aged guy, very nice, very clear about what was needed what what it would cost. I went in this morning and was greeted by a tall, young dude in sun-glasses who was kind of gruff. The price was almost twice what I paid last time I used them. I asked about internet deals. He said he didn't know. There were internet deals that everyone uses, apparently and that the older guy always told me about. He was quick but came back with a fail. The failure had nothing to do with my car's performance. It passed all the smog-related test. It had to do with this technician's visual inspections of my dashboard and engine. If these were indeed not compliant. He could have told me before he tested. I would have gotten them fixed and then brought the care back for the actual test. Instead, he failed the car and wants $48 for a retest. This borders on unethical in my book. I won't be coming back for the retest. I found a place that charges less than that for the test! read more

Best price I could find for an older car smog, Greg (Craig?) was extremely professional, friendly, and had me out of there in under 15 minutes. Painless smog experience. read more

Great service!! There were three cars in front of me and it just took a few minutes until it was my turn. Super speedy and very nice.

Very courteous people. Very quick service. I don't claim to know much about the whole reasoning for the smog check but I us heard horror stories about the cost and misery of the process. None of these were true here. I didn't pay that much and from start to finish it took maybe 15 minutes! I highly recommend them if you have to get a smog check... Which apparently everyone does in this state. read more

This was the most painless smog check EVER!! I was in and out in less than 10 minutes!! Can't beat the price or service!

This place rocks! Quick and kind service from Jason! Definitely come here for convenient smog check!!

Beware of this place. The prices are good but... They live to nickel and dime customers. First off, it's cash only to get their advert prices. Bring cash or they'll tack on $5 to run a credit or debit card. Yes. $5. Their shop and their rules. Went to the little adjacent shop ATM to pull cash out and the tech scurried over saying he'd waive the $5 fee. Too late. Cash in hand with a $1 water bottle. Said he found religion and didn't want any negative YELP reviews. Also too late. He didn't charge extra for my SUV (bogus), but they do have that in their fine print. Beware. He did however did try to charge me extra because my DMV paperwork said I needed a STAR station. This is a bogus extra. Negotiate it down or even better, out of your fee. Or go somewhere else that doesn't charge this fee. It's the SAME test. Google it. It's simply a statistical measure of a shop. They tried to tack on $10 for this "STAR" test. You can see how the STAR + SUV + credit/debit scams start to quickly add up from their $28 out-the-door promo that gets you there in the first place. Two weekends later I bring my Prius in for a smog. It doesn't have a STAR requirement so he can't get me on that but he tries to get me for an extra $10 Prius "hybrid" fee. This is when I finally unloaded on him. Reminded him about his nickle and diming the last time. He charged me the $28 they list on YELP. Thank you Mr. Smog Tech. Businesses are free to charge whatever the customer will pay. I get that. But arm yourself with knowledge about what are real, accepted market norms. This place tends to get an older clientele. I can only imagine they're doing this kinda thing to most of them. Too bad. read more

Fast service. Reasonably Priced. Tip: Bring cash. read more

Came in to get a smog test without an appointment or anything. It was super fast! Guy hooked me up and I mentioned Yelp for a further discount. Painless smog check! read more

Quick and efficient. That was really all I was looking for in a smog check.

took my honda fit there today for a quick smog check and got great service. Thanks!

I came prepared: I knew about the Yelp deal, I had my DMV paperwork and cash. I also had a library card for the public library across the street. When I stopped in, there was a car in front of me. The check-in lady told me it would be about 15 minutes to do the car in front of me and then mine. She also explained the pricing, both if I passed and if I did not. I went to the library for 20 minutes. When I got back, car was done. I paid, got my paperwork back, and I left. Easy, no issues. read more

This place is very quick! I walked in and left my key after a little bit paperwork. Then I went into the gas station shop right beside it and bought a bottle of Coke. Before I finished the bottle, the smog check was done and all the information was sent to the DMV. Nice and clean, it was really an awesome experience! read more

I know nothing about cars and smog checks, but I give this place 5 stars. It's located at the Chevron on the corner. I came at 4:20 and was out of there at 4:35. The guy was quick and efficient. I yelped around and this was the best deal I could find ($35 out the door for the smog check and for the certificate to be sent to the DMV). This is the place to go if you want to get in and out as fast as you can with no fuss. read more

I mean, it's a smog check, right? But it's CHEAP (40 bucks for EVERYTHING, including the certificate), it's FAST, and they were FRIENDLY. Woo hoo! They only take cash or check, but as I didn't know that they let me drop off my money later on. How nice is that? Pretty much as painless as a smog check gets! read more
