    The sound of my "messed up transmission " . PENDEJO .
    Isaac R.

    Found this place through a coupon in the paper , probably my first mistake . (It will never just be the price of the coupon , there's a $2 tax plus an $8 service fee ) . The owner wasn't the friendliest and seemed in a rush after I showed him my coupon even though no one else was in the shop . The second mistake I made was parking in front of the shop and not before it . This means it would require the technician to reverse my car and enter the door rather than just turn right into the shop if I had parked behind . I always make it a point to watch whoever gets into my car and moves it while I take it to get serviced (should've just done that BS myself ) . I witnessed this guy reverse , take the damn turn too early and scrape my bumper into the green curb in front of the shop causing a deep scratch and green paint to smear on my bumper . He knew exactly what he did . I let him enter the shop and as soon as he gets out I immediately walk to the front of my car and look at the scratch , first thing he says "I think your transmission is messed up , that was the noise you heard " . Guess integrity goes out the window when you just want to make a buck. READ AND LISTEN to the other nightmare reviews . They aren't lying. POS LIAR . 2nd photo description : This is the invoice with my information whited out for my safety as he seems unhinged , even dangerous . He blacked out the "state service fee" in substitution of his own fee.Hes clearly been robbing ppl for years & knows how to cover his tracks. bad luck will fall on this business one day, guaranteed.

    I've been taking my cars here forever. Service is honest and friendly. Would definitely recommend this service.

    Coupon from web site not honored for 6 cylinder gad engines car. Where does it state that they size you up and shake you down?

    Dishonest business that will size you up and try to shake you down. Don't take your car here if it looks even remotely nice, fancy or expensive Sliding scale pricing to gouge maximum dollars. Coupons from their own web site not honored. Would not recommend.

    Everything you could ever want in a smog check. Good service, clean waiting room, reasonably priced, not a long wait and the car passed.

    Not fancy, but efficient. Short wait and cheaper than other smog checks nearby.

    in and out in 10 minutes. $40 out the door (with their website coupon). i think going to a smog-only place is key.

    I went there today for the first time, and had a terrible experience…read more I arrived. There was one car ahead of me and asked if they were available to do my car today. He said it would be about 20 minutes.. Then I noticed a sign on the building showing cash, Venmo Zelle and other forms of payment besides credit card so I asked the attendant if they accept credit card to which and he gave me a very rude response. I thought about leaving, but was already there so waited. When it was my turn I moved my car into the directed space and asked the worker some questions to which he said he couldn't answer. I apologize for asking so many questions and explain to him that this was my first time needing to get my car smog so I was u aware of how it worked etc. He asked for the envelope that I was holding in my hand, and I handed it to him, which had my form for the DMV for this service and my husband Husband had stuck a coupon and there for another small place in case I had decided to go there. He kind of threw the other coupon at me telling me that that doesn't belong to him, and there was also a receipt I guess in the envelope from our Gardener that he also kind of shoved at me. I'm not sure why these two items in the envelope upset him so much since the envelope was mine to begin with, but it set him off and I was sent away to get my smog check elsewhere. I asked why he was giving me such a hard time and he wouldn't even answer me just told me to go somewhere else and said some unfriendly choice words towards me. The whole interaction was very strange and awkward. I'm not even sure exactly what happened to set him off. I can't help but think that me being female had something to do with it. I will never be back here nor will I ever recommend anyone to go there. It was the strangest and worst customer service I've ever experienced in my life.

    Fantastic Experience with Older Car at Burlingame Smog!…read more This place is great, and their technician, Manny, is the best! Very highly recommended in every way, don't be put off if the phone call takes a few attempts. My old 1994 Dodge Intrepid had failed smog at a place in San Francisco. I took action to remedy the problem, ran fuel cleaner through it, changed the oil, put lower octane gas in it and replaced the spark plugs myself, making sure to gap each one very carefully. On the retest in San Francisco, the guy was continuously distracted and let my car idle for nearly an hour before doing the test. The car failed on the first low-speed test because the intake was too full of gasoline from idling too long, but it was fine on the high speed test which made me suspicious of the initial low speed run coming off of a long period of idling. I'm never going back to that place. Because I was raised in Burlingame, I decided to find a place here to do the smog test. A quick search turned up Burlingame Smog. The Yelp reviews looked good, so I called them up. Don't be dismayed if the phone doesn't pick up on the first try, this is a small shop, and Manny has to do double and triple duty. On my second call, it rang for quite a while, and then I noticed that Manny was calling me back while I was still on call waiting. When I arrived, everything was great. Manny was very friendly, and right off the bat, I could tell he was sharp. He immediately noticed my worn engine mounts and the very old rear tires that needed replacing (I had already ordered some). He even pointed out some signs of arcing around my spark plug wires where I had reinstalled them. Turns out Manny is also a mechanic and really knows what he's talking about! And, he cares! I told Manny about my experience in San Francisco--how the car had idled too long before the test--and he agreed that could have been the problem. He was very careful to make sure my car was properly warmed up and that any accumulated moisture/gas in the tailpipe was expelled before the test. Manny studied the results of my last three smog tests and knew exactly what to do to make sure my HC levels passed. To say he knows what he's doing is an understatement and he's a very nice guy! This was my best smog testing experience ever! Very highly recommended in every way, don't be put off if the phone call takes a few attempts. It's well worth the effort! Also worth every penny of the price, a bit higher than most, but well worth it for the professionalism and results!
