Ok... down to the wire, and it's time for the smog check. Went to my normal site... they couldn't fit me in. A friend recommended this place, and I'm extremely grateful. I've used the gas station before, but never realized there was a smog station in the back .The entrance looks sketchy, so I was a little bit leery, but once back there. Mr. Loc helped me out. He was great!! The car had just come from the shop and they did a shoddy job. He showed me the problems, which affected the computer hook up. He made needed adjustments (definitely above and beyond) and walked me through the review. I appreciated his exceptional service. The value is normal price and overall, it will be my new location to get my smogs done. Thank you Loc I really appreciated your help, Sharine read more

Went here to get my van smogged. Lock took good care of us. He was very friendly and attentive. I called and got an appointment, he started on time and finished when he said he would. A great experience. read more

No idea about the gas part, but the guy doing the smog was great. He was one of the friendliest people i have ever met. Was a delight to be around while he did my test. Also even with that, he was fast and efficient, and kept me informed of timing along the way. Also, the shop was the cheapest i found after calling around 10 other shops, i have a tundra, and it was 58 with dmv fees included. I just got the slip to get my other car done, i definitely will be going back. read more

In and out within 15-20 minutes. Loc is nice and straightforward re pricing. Had to go in for my hybrid car smog test. Who knew hybrids needed smog tests ‍ fyi it's for hybrid cars 8 years and older. read more

My second time coming here and they were excellent and helpful as last time. Very friendly technician who stated how long the process would take and honored the price quote and discount stated. Zero issues and smog completed! read more

Refused to honor the $35 advertised YELP price and insisted price is now $58 Disgusted with his refusal and the bait and switch pricing. read more

Loc helped me out today. Great service! He was very nice on the phone and in person. Cheapest place around and zero wait time.

Loc saved me $100s. Two years in a row! Last year I took my high-mileage 2002 expedition here for a standard smog. It failed, but Loc told me exactly where the problem was (bad hose) and took the time to look up the part which was easy to change, but would have been impossible for me to figure out without a mechanics test. So this year before I had a chance to get it smog fed, the car started running really rough. I hate taking this old car to a mechanic because it's so expensive just to get a diagnosis. But this was bad and couldn't wait. Then I remembered how helpful Loc was and went to see him yesterday. Sure enough he failed it and showed me that one of my 8 cylinders was misfiring. Then for the next 10 min he showed me the most likely causes (spark plug or ignition coil). He showed me which cylinder and coil it was. Drew a diagram. Looked up the part number and even showed me issues I needed to avoid if I had to change the plug ( which is hard to do on this engine). I got the coil since that was less likely to go wrong in the process and that fixed it! Can't say enough about Loc. See him. Recommend him to your friends. read more

Coming back for all other cars of mines that need to be smogged. read more

This is how all Smog checks should be. Friendly, honest, and efficient service. Loc got me out of there in 30 minutes. Applied the coupon without any hassles. Other smog shops with coupons (smog center is one of them), my cars would pass, but they would fail the gas cap test. Found that they would intentionally break the gas cap (not a coincidence this happened with 2 other cars). Thus, having me to go out and buy a new gas cap and pay for a retest. Wasting my money and time. I finally found a good and honest shop. read more

This is my second time taking in my vehicle to this place. The first vehicle I had an issue that I needed to fix before passing smog. Loc was very helpful and descriptive of what needed to be replace and get done to pass smog. The 2nd visit was for my wife's vehicle, Loc was able to get me in and pass within 20 min. Loc was very kind and appreciative. If I could give this man 6 stars I would and would highly recommend his skill set to everyone. read more

$35 deal is BS. In person the (very nice) manager told me that the owner has been unable to reach Yelp for TWO YEARS to fix it. I withheld the observation that said situation is legally a "them" problem, walked into Smog Star Express, and paid $10 less. read more

I called a few minutes before they were closing and the owner was kind enough to take me in. The service was fast and efficient. It was $50 bucks and around 8 dollars for the certificate. If you need a smog, this place is very conveniently located and friendly. read more

I love this place! Which is odd when speaking about a garage/smog testing shop, but here's why. I brought my car in today, and actually thought I was at Bayside Smog, where I had an appointment. (Sorry Bayside!) The technician was very polite and courteous. The owner (and his mother!) greeted me, offered water, and asked if I needed anything while I waited. Very nice people. And why do I love this place? After I paid, I left my credit card there. After an hour, I realized i left my card there and went back. The owner had called the credit card company, and helped put a temporary hold on my card until I went back and picked it up. Maybe I am old school, but I just loved the extra attention and warmth from the owner. I will take all car here everytime I need another check. thanks again. read more

Friendly, respectful and hospitable service. The individuals who run this spot are doing an awesome job. Was greeted promptly and quoted a great deal for smog service. They made sure I was taken care of promptly and completed the task in no time. They offered a cold bottle water and it hit the spot since it was a hot afternoon. If you need to have a smog check there's no other place but to come to this location!! read more

Concord Smog & Gas - Top notch treatment. Free cold bottle water while my car was quickly serviced! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Concord, California

This review is waayy overdue. I've been coming in here for my smog checks for a few years now and every single time Loc was professional and effecient. Last week, I took one of my car for its routine smog check and it failed. Loc took the time to tell me why it failed and even went to the internet and showed me the exact parts I needed to fix it. Came back today and got it retested and everything went great. Loc is the man! Thank you for all the help. read more

If you make an appointment with these guys be sure you are talking to the guy that does the smog test and not some other employee. I made an appointment for 3PM this afternoon and drove over there during the beginning of commute traffic. Took almost a half hour to get there and when I did the smog guy said I didn't have an appointment... said I must have talked to the wrong person because he was out to lunch when I called. They did have the best price of the smog stations I checked and I see a lot of other positive reviews so I guess I just got stuck talking to the wrong guy. read more

Had an appt at 8am for a smog and was out of there by 8:20am, fast, efficient and affordable.

I used their coupon. The smog was quick. They were very nice and I will come here again when I need my car done

Will never go anywhere else! The technician took a lot of extra time to work with my son on his 1982 Subaru BRAT, great learn experience! Also....it passed! read more

I stopped by this Mobil gas station to pump gas on my way to work and had to use the restroom while pumping and to my surprise the bathroom had just been remodeled! The gas pumps were brand new, and the customer service was very nice as the cashier was helpful. read more

Went here after searching yelp for a good smog deal. Super fast and efficient service. When paying he simply asks if you've seen a coupon and how much it was for and he gives you the deal, so make sure to tell him! read more

I have always been coming to this smog station for years. Service is always excellent and now has improved even more with a bottle of water included with the smog. Smog was quick and was out in less than an hour. read more

FANTASTIC SERVICE!!! A honest family business. It was a very hot day and I to re-certify my smog. While waiting, the Mother brought me cold water. It was so nice. They were able to complete my Smog quickly and were honest in their feedback of my car because it is older and has some issues. I highly recommend to anyone and will definitely use them again in the future. read more

I got an excellent service from the Smog technician Lok who is so knowledgeable and experienced. They had a "Pass or free retest" offer. I had to take my car more than 3-4 times for Retest. He's extremely patient, for CHECK ENGINE sign, he advised me to drive for 100-200 miles and the sign disappeared and my car PASSED the smog test. Thank you Lok. read more

Loc is the man with smog. So helpful and nice. He is quick at getting your car smog. He did mine today for a 1990 Honda Civic that initially failed. After fixing the timing issue the second time was a charm. Thank you Loc read more

Amazing customer service! It might be located in a pretty small garage like spot but the technician was very nice and helped me pull into the small spot. The people inside the convenience store when you pay were also very nice. The price was very affordable compared to all the other prices in the area. read more

I was able to make an appointment the same day. Took about 15 minutes to get it done. They could not of been more nice and more professional. I will recommend them very highly to all my friends. Not only was the price good but I didn't wait very long at all. If you need your smog done quickly and efficiently and with very little fanfare this is the place to go. read more

Speedy, efficient service. Great deals on Yelp. Great hospitality. Friendly mom and pop shop. Can't beat it!

First time here, and I had a great experience! Loc was very friendly, efficient, and professional. The overall service was great and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The place is a little small, but there was not a long wait (only 2 customers ahead of me), and it went by really fast. There are a few seats for waiting customers, but overall, still a great experience! Thanks!! read more

I usually go to another location but the we're not open. I guess the technician was late. People were waiting over an hour. So I found Concord Smog and Gas. The smog technician gave me prices and also asked if I had a coupon told him no. He said I could use Yelp and get a discount. I showed up. No wait,cheaper than the one I used to go to and told me that if o didn't pass they would retest within30 days for free. I passedThat was great news because the other place charged my 55.00 with a coupon. I didn't pass and said I could come back after I drove 200 miles and pay 31.00 to retest. Smog and Gas has my business for all my 3 cars. read more

Professional, fast and affordable. Polite on the phone. Good location. Free coffee and a place to sit in the shade.

They do a lot of business, but squeezed me in during a busy afternoon. Sami the owner and Ricky at the front counter were extra pleasant and accommodating. Loc was gentle on the vehicle, which any car guy can appreciate. The price was as good as anyone else in town. read more

Excellent service, went for a smog check it was done within 10 minutes! Very good price!!! (40) not a fancy" place but they get the job done!! Lady working there very nice also. I will be back next year!! read more

This is a locally owned shop with excellent customer service. There was a small misunderstanding when I was given a quote for a smog check that wasn't realized until I arrived. The shop owner was honest about what happened and explained the situation to me, all while being incredibly kind and professional. I will definitely come back here to smog my other cars. The service itself was quick and exactly what I expected... no wait time! This smog shop is combined with a gas station. So if you see a gas station, you're there! Park in the back and get your smog check! read more

Quickest and easiest smog check in the area. Have been going here for the last couple of years and they are the best in terms of efficiency and cost. read more

When your car needs a smog check & the friendly owner offers a special price that's special. Fast friendly service is another plus.

Needed a last minute smog, came in with no appointment and was in and out in 20 min. Sammy was very friendly and helpful, as was his technician. I'd recommend to anyone and will be coming back next time I need a smog read more
