    15 Minute Smog Test & Repair

    It's been 11 years since I had to do a smog check because I purchased a new hybrid car, so I never…read moreneeded one. I ended up going back to the exact same guy I used 11 years ago , Carlos at 15 Minutes Smog Test & Repair. Same guy, same professionalism, same incredible service. I was literally in and out in 15 minutes and paid only $40. Eleven years ago, I paid $35. In California, where prices have doubled and tripled on everything, this is honestly unbelievable. I called around before going, and everywhere else was quoting me anywhere from $60 to $80+. Carlos knows exactly what he's doing, which is why this place constantly has 5-star reviews. Super proactive, super professional, and they even cleaned my windshield while I was there. Seriously, don't waste your time chasing coupons or dealing with nonsense shops. If you need a smog check, go here. Carlos was phenomenal. A++ service. I honestly don't even understand how anyone else is still in business at this point.

    This is my go to spot for smog checks!…read more I like to make an appointment because they work on your car as soon as you get there. I've been there before without an appointment and other cars with appointments are worked on before mine. No big deal, since they're fine with walk ins. But if I can save 15 minutes, I'll save 15 minutes! Jose is efficient and quick! He's also friendly and appears to remember me - maybe because I've been going there for awhile! $40 for our cars, cash or credit. There's a cafe a block away but I check my email onsite and my car is ready! I should time him next time. I think it's been as fast as 12 minutes.

    Umit is very kind, professional and extremely trustworthy. There are many smog test places that are…read morecloser to where I live, but this will be my go to from now on. I came in with no check engine light error, but Umit noticed I had a sensor that wasn't cleared. Apparently, when I had my battery replaced a few months prior, I was unaware that there was a whole Honda drive cycle that needed to complete. He gave me amazing advice on how to try and clear it myself. He even said he would honor the price he quoted me and didnt charge a dime for that initial visit. I came back a couple weeks later and everything was a breeze from then on. I was his first customer for the day and he had me in and out of there so fast. Even when I tipped him, he said the tip was too much. I told him that was the least I can do. I know NOTHING about cars and If it wasn't for him and his honest advice, I probably would've paid for a whole new catalytic converter to be installed just to pass smog. Go here for your smog checks! Umit is honest and fair! You will not be disappointed!

    Went to EZ Star Test Only 2 yesterday based on Yelp reviews-- I totally agree that this is an…read moreexcellent place for efficient, reasonably priced (using online coupon) smog checks. Service is on a first-come, first served basis. With 2 cars in front of mine, I waited only about 15 minutes, and the test itself was done quickly. An additional reason for this location's excellent reviews is the exceptionally gentlemanly demeanor of the manager, Umit. I mentioned to Umit that his speech and Old World, dignified bearing would make him equally well suited to a setting in which he would be wearing a tux. Enjoy a nice smog check!

    I really want to like this place. It's less than five minutes from my house and, as other yelp…read morereviewers have noted, when the crew is at their best you really do feel taken care of but some teams are better at making you feel this way than others. Part of what Oil Changers proposes to offer is to check all fluid levels and to top off, to check brake lights, belts, signals, head lights and air filter, to clean the windshield and check tire air pressure. This is exactly what my old mechanic used to do before he retired. Too often, though, they skip many or all of these tasks. I could understand that this might happen if they were super busy but it often happens when they're slow. More importantly, when you get your invoice, these items are checked off as if they've been performed when they have not. Honestly, this does not give me the feeling of being well taken care of but leaves a taste of deception in my mouth even if the basic task of changing the oil and filter has been performed correctly. I leave wondering what else might have been missed through inattention. I have no problem in general with the folks that work there, they're always welcoming and friendly. If it's too much to ask of them to do these basic safety and maintenance checks maybe it shouldn't be asked of them and maybe it shouldn't be printed out on the bill that these tasks are required and have been performed. I really hope this is something that can be addressed.

I parked the car and gave him the keys and went next door for lunch. I came back a little early, and sat under the gazebo to wait. I saw how efficiently he handled folks and how quick he was. He was also very personable too. I didn't have a coupon, but he still have me a little discount. Will come back for my next smog. I can see why this was voted best smog in East Bay.

    Today around noon, I visited Seven Days a Week Smog to have my Cadillac CTS-V smog checked…read more Unfortunately, my experience with the technician was very disappointing. From the moment I arrived, his demeanor came across as rude and unprofessional. I also spoke with other customers while I was there who expressed similar concerns about his attitude. When it was time to inspect my vehicle, the technician questioned the CARB sticker associated with my aftermarket AIRAID intake. The replacement sticker I received by mail was branded K&N, and I explained that K&N is associated with AIRAID and that this was the sticker provided to me for the intake. I also had documentation with me to support what I was explaining. However, the technician was unwilling to review or consider the information I presented and ultimately refused to proceed with the smog check, telling me to return another day with a different CARB sticker. I understand that smog technicians are required to follow California emissions regulations, but I believe customers should still be treated professionally and given a reasonable opportunity to provide supporting documentation. Based on the technician's attitude, communication, and handling of the situation, I was very dissatisfied with my experience and would not recommend this location.
