This is the best place to go for a smog check! Eric helped me out today and he couldn't of been more professional if he tried. He was so nice and extremely efficient! Thank you again Eric! This is the 1st grade teacher you helped out today! read more

Friendly and quick experience. Only took 10 minutes! No wait. Good price with coupon.

Best smog test in years. Fast and efficient. Good price. Erick was great to deal with.

I took my 2014 supercharged Cadillac here last year and got the web coupon price. Today I took 2007 Corvette in and was told the web coupon didn't apply to my "exotic" car. I guess the price varies by the technician. read more

Great service and nice people. Even though there were three cars ahead, it did not take long. The wait was totally fine and painless.

Needed a last minute same day smog. Called one local spot and they quoted me $80. Immediately hung up and shopped around. Alameda Smog was less than $50. Efficient - pull in and out. Make sure you let them know your vehicle year - which affects the pricing. Seating available, but only outdoors so bring a coat. read more

I don't recommend this place for a smog if you have a van/camper van due to the pricing. I was charged $120 for a fail because some of the computer monitors wasn't registered yet and they wanted $60 to do a recheck. When I asked if there was anything they could do with the recheck price, they said there wasn't anything they could do. Recommend that you go over across to Berkeley to 7 Days a Week Smog! I was charged $59 and rechecks are free! I should have gone to this place again instead but Alameda Smog was on the way. I would have thought they would have at least tried to help me out here. Otherwise Alameda Smog is super friendly, fast, and minimal wait when I turned up. read more

These guys were great! They don't take reservations, but they got to my vehicle promptly and competed the service quickly. I realized that I had forgotten my wallet, and they were very chill about it, offering to let me run home and get it. But fortunately, I was meeting a friend for lunch, and I asked him to swing buy and pay for the service. Great service, fair price, speedy, above and beyond the call! read more

Went there with a friend to help them get their smog check. The prices were a bit on the higher side but they are open Saturdays, the people working there were friendly and the line moved pretty quickly. So if you're bargain hunting _maybe_ _not_ this one, but if you want something quick and convenient it's a good spot! read more

Even without an appointment, I was welcomed with open arms. Steve was extremely professional, letting me know exactly what paperwork I needed to present and fill out with an enthusiastic tone. I couldn't recommend them enough from the price to the service all around 5 out 5! read more

Get the online coupon! My first time here, very friendly staff....I got lucky, no line, quick in and out...Yey!!! read more

Alameda Smog - My car - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Alameda, California

I chose Alameda Smog because it's close to my work. The facility was clean and organized. The person who worked on my car was kind and professional. The inspection was done quickly and the price was quite reasonable. read more

Quick and easy. No frills. Same day appointment. Cash payment and they took a coupon.

I stopped by here to do a smog check on a rainy day. The man that helped me out had great customer service, I didn't wait too long before it was my turn. The whole process was simple and easy. I used the online coupon code to get a discount. read more

Relatively okay experience. Paid about $70 and was in-and-out in 15 minutes. Service was parochial and fixated on expressed all the booby-traps apparently present across the shop. Perhaps the anxiety was due to the fact that the shop really is quite small and shares space with the European auto shop. read more

Really fast turn around time and responsive via a yelp inquiry regarding their cost. Go to their website for their online special and save ~$10. read more

My car didn't pass the smog test by a small amount. I asked the attendant if I should have driven the car a bit more to get the engine hot. He said no. I promptly went to my mechanic, he said I just needed to get my engine hot before the test. I asked the smog attendant about this and he said that would not help. Naturally I drove my car a bit and it passed by another company read more

Hours of operation: As stated on their website, Tuesdays are 8am - 6pm. Upon arrival at 5:30pm, the employee (Steve) said he was closed and turned down my business. Price: As stated on their website, "web special" is valid for vehicles "2000 & newer passenger vehicles". My vehicle met all criteria within fine print of the web special, attached below. Upon arrival the following day (Wednesday, since he was "closed" at 5:30p the previous day), same employee stated he is no longer honoring the web special and instead charged me with a "high end" vehicle fee of an additional $28. Service: During the smog inspection, this employee laid on the ground mopping the floor with his clothing then immediately entering into my vehicle without any consideration of debris attached to clothing. To say that my driver side interior and seat is now filthy is an understatement. Conclusion: Determine for yourself. read more

Alameda Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Alameda, California

I was in and out in no time - okay, about 15 minutes. Also $47 and change it cost. This was the best, most fluid smog check experience I have ever had. No headaches; no problem. I highly recommend Alameda Smog. Have a lovely day. read more

Steve had incredible attention to detail and customer service. He pointed out a cracked hose to us and we were able to get it replaced and have him sign off on it. Thank you Steve!! read more

I went with Alameda Smog because they had a great online deal. I asked for a quote via yelp and they got back to me within the hour. For cars 2000 and newer it was $39 and $8.25 for the certificate. It's a cash only deal-however you can pay $2 to use your card. I went in on a Thursday morning and only had to wait about 20min for everything to be done. It would have been shorter however there was a guy ahead of me. Steve was the guy who helped me. He was super friendly with me and every other customer he interacted with. The location shares a building with an auto shop. If you are coming from Oakland via the high street bridge then make that first left at the light and you will see Alameda on that right hand corner. I parked on the street however there is a little parking lot just to the left of the smog station. I'm going back here the next time I need my car smog checked! read more

Alameda Smog - Fast and friendly smog check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Alameda, California

Steve was great. I loved how he asked questions if there was anything specific about my car before he did the smog. I told him, nothing special or different. I also love going to help support a friends shop. Thank you so much Robert for the recommendation. Love that Steve made my wait not boring at all. He made jokes like, "OH NOOO... (pause) your car did very well (with a smile on his face) congrats on passing smog" lol love that. Thank you Steve. I will be sure to tell my friends to go here for their smog. read more

Steve is a one man wrecking crew.He's fast (total time spent 1 hr- 50min wait, 10min for actual smog check), would def recommend.

The gentleman, Steve, that works the facility was very informative and helpful. I reached out to him through Yelp about their Internet price special and he responded within 10 minutes. Not more than 20 minutes after initially reaching out to him was I already at his establishment and getting my car smogged. He was very welcoming, friendly, and efficient. Thank you for your service is Steve! I will definitely be coming back in recommending people to go see you! read more

My husband and I both came here within a couple months of each other. My husband has come here for years. Prices are great, service is excellent and fast. On a weekend it seems 9:30 is the sweet spot: the rush of a few people there at opening is over and there's no wait. There are usually good discounts on their website. Very fast, easy, convenient and great customer service. Will be coming back! read more

Great prices and great service. I called a few places in town looking to get the best price for two cars to be smog at the same time. This place was great & no appointment needed. Best price in town. read more

Professional, great service. Robert treated my car with care. Explained the process to me, let me know my true wait time. I will be back.

Always a great experience. My cat sensor hadn't reset yet but the manager there gave me all the instructions to reset it and now I passed. Great place and great service! read more
