Fast and quick and extremely friendly. Had my mum go there as well and she even got her registration taken care of too

Thank you Wayne for being so kind! I would highly recommend this place to get your smog done. Fast and friendly for the second time.

I brought in my vehicle for a smog in May. I was a bit worried, because this was my first time going there without my husband. I had re-read the recent reviews, and it seemed that the usual "dude" was not nice to female customers. Decided that it was a good chance for me to verify that, I went, and an older gentleman comes out; not that "dude" that I was used to. Apparently this gentleman owns the place, and he had to let the previous worker go, because of the bad reputation he kept hearing. All makes sense! This gentleman owned the business for the last 40+ years. He is genuinely nice and cordial. Husband and I just took another vehicle to him for a smog today, and he was just as nice as he was to me. The place is spruced up, clean, and job is quick. One of the best experiences with small local businesses! read more

Just moved from San Diego and brought our two vehicles in to get smogged before registering with the state. The guy running the testing was very polite and helpful with all my newbie questions. Price was great (less then half the cost of what you pay in CA) Super fast in and out with both vehicles, we will be a customer for life! read more

New guy been there since summer 2024 is really nice, really friendly and fast service. Will be back. read more

Express Smog Service - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Thank you to Jared for working with me on my car to hopefully get her to pass the smog test. I recently had body work done after I was hit during a snowstorm and apparently when the work is done, the battery is disconnected and some sensors need time to reset. Jared was so kind to explain what it takes to hopefully make this happen. Thank you for taking the time to give me suggestions. He put the value on customer service and having happy return clients over making a buck. I appreciate that so much and felt like an important person today. I encourage everyone to choose Express Smog on Peckham. We have many choices in Reno for smog checks but nobody takes as much care as they do at Express Smog. read more

I have used their services for the past six years and been very pleased. Their knowledge, along with great customer service made the experience a good one. read more

I love this Express Smog, I always seem to get right in, it's quick, and they get the registration submitted for me. It's not a glamorous location, I don't even think they have an indoor area for customers, but that is just fine with me as I'm trying to get in and out as quick as possible. They also mail out coupons for a $5 discount which is nice and helps keep the yearly smog check price reasonable. read more

Absolutely horrible experience. Rude, aggressive interaction with the employee. I had my kids in the car, talk about a real time life lesson on how NOT to treat people. Don't waste your time and money with this place, there are plenty around that are friendly and helpful. This isn't one of them. read more

I've been coming to express smog for years with both of my vehicles. Always quick, easy and efficient. Jared is always kind to my dog, too. Which is always a plus! Thanks, express smog! read more

The most racist encounter in many,many years. I am a man of color, and the worker immediately told me not to come inside...I was wearing a mask. He wasn't. He kept asking me why I was there. I showed him the renewal notice. I told him that I needed it done, and then he said I would need a car. I left angrily, then drove back, and started taking pictures. He told white customers to wait inside, and then denied the first confrontation. I verbally tore into him,but this isn't done! read more

Express Smog Service - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Wow! I don't know if this place changed hands or if they have different staff, but it is definitely more customer friendly than in the recent past. I haven't had a bad experience (other than a time when no one was there during business hours) but it was always pretty straight forward and you might get a smile if you tipped. I had actually told some friends I was going here and there was a discussion about who has had rude experiences and who has good ones. Well, they sent me a coupon so I was going. This time the technician was very welcoming and friendly. They had chairs set up so you don't have to wait in the sun. Service is pleasant, efficient and quick. Another customer pulled up while my car was finishing up, and there was another technician available to help him. If you've had a bad experience in the past, I'd recommend giving it another chance because I was impressed. read more

HIGHEST PRICES IN RENO! A smog check costs $32 for cars and $37 for trucks. However, the attendant seems like a nice guy and the service is fast. The Shell station at Kietzke & Virginia only charges $20 for a smog check, so I took my other car there. read more

I've been here a couple times and every time there is some reason or another the guy doesn't want to do his job. Every time, he seems to have some condescending comment. My mom said she had a horrible experience with him as well, but I had a coupon so thought why not try to save a few bucks. This time, I show up at 12:30 and nobody else was around -- it looked closed. I park in the spot and the guy comes out and yells to me he's closed because he's eating lunch and he tried just ending it at that and shutting the door. I get out of my car and ask what time he expects me to come back -- he said 2:30pm. I drove to the shell station on kietzke and and they did it for $25 with no hassle, they're nice, and they are actual professionals. read more

It only took maybe three minutes, the gentleman helping me had great customer service and I got a deal on some nice golf balls. I highly recommend this business. read more

So I don't know if people read multiple reviews. But before I decided to post, I looked at the past reviews. Notice how most of them are female. The man there has a real hard time interacting with women. Plus he cannot do his job correctly. He's aggressive rude and shouldn't be allowed to communicate with anybody in the public let alone women. He should be fired from his job and if he's the owner he should get a different business. This man is not professional. You should not give him any of your money. Will never go back again. read more

Who doesn't hate DMV and smogging your car? Ugh. Just a couple of blocks from my office, so very convenient, is this great spot. No appointment needed. And I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes. You drive up to the south end of the strip mall and the staff comes out, hooks up the car and the smog is done ten minutes. Bonus!!! You can also renew your tags right there at the same, just a second swipe of the credit card and the new stickers show up in the mail the next week. Great prices, friendly staff and perfect spot read more

Wow! I've been getting my annual smog check here for years and will never go back. Wish I'd read the reviews posted before I went. The man doing my smog check repeatedly made offensive comments: from making a racist comment about my license plate to turning off my radio saying "well, not listening to that crap." Posting here in the hopes no one else will have to be treated that way. Time to find a new place to get my smog check! read more

Very helpful and fast services. Definitely coming back for my smog and registration needs.

Extremely rude attendant in full blown panic refused to take me @5:30. Closed the door @ 5:40. My recommendation: go elsewhere. Or stop by a give home dude a hug. Poor fella's struggling. read more

Jerad was awesome and gave excellent and efficient service. The station was well organized. Very friendly and all around great customer care. read more

Fast and reliable. Nice guy. There was a computer malfunction when I went and couldn't register, but I was at least able to get the smog done. Take cash. Using a credit card costs you a dollar more. read more

Express Smog Service - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I have used this smog station for years, but I won't anymore. the man working here was extremely rude to his customers. when the women next to me said she didn't bring her registration renewal form he said "Oh well, all American's are stupid" and asked me if I agreed. This isn't a person who should be working with the public. read more

So yesterday I did my smog check here and the guy charged me 42 $ for a car(cash) (I thought was expensive but I paid) today I saw my ticket and says 32 $ I called the business asking how much they charge for a smog check after any tax and he said 32 $, so I guess he charged 10 $ more for what? Auto-tip? It's not a lot but still being my money,my work.... I will make my fraud report read more

Express Smog Service - Total 32$ charged me 42$ - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Fast friendly and knowledgeable service! Have used this business for many years for annual smog. The employee who is always there now offers new windshield wipers and installs them quickly and correctly. It's a great extra benefit! Had a new set put on just last week when I was here for the smog. Highly recommend this quick in and out service! read more

Don't ever go this place for a smog test. I pulled up and it didn't look open, so I got out of my car. The guy working there came out and I asked if they were open. He was very rude to me and said I should have pulled all the way up to the smog machine. I explained that the last time I went there, they just ignored me. I then asked him to just smog my car and that he could be a little nicer. He then said " well, the machine is broken now, so just BEAT IT." I left there angry and upset that a worker could be so rude. I asked for his name but he just slammed the door and went back into the little dark hole he came from. Their advertisement for fast friendly service is a joke. This man has dark hair and a beard. If I knew how to report him, I would. And also would give zero stars but it wasn't an option. read more

This has been our go to for the past four years, not any more. Today I had the Rudest interaction with the guy working there, terribly mean and super aggressive. Not good business. We will NEVER ago back. read more

Ok, so I just had the worst experience at this place. Been going here for years! The dude who did my smog was a condescending idiot. If I could give no stars I would. He kept making an issue about my wearing a mask. He wasn't wearing one. Which, that's fine, personal choice, I guess. He shouldn't make a big deal about mine. I think he might have been high. I won't ever use this place again, even if it's the last one in Reno. I'll drive somewhere else. WOW. This happened Wednesday 1/12/22 at 11:10a.m. read more

The worker today was incredibly rude to me because my poodle was sitting in the back seat. Another customer felt sorry for me and told me I could put my dog in her car while the smog check was being done. He even complained to the other customer about dogs. Then I paid him after the smog check was done, and I said to keep the change. He sarcastically said, " I won't spend it all in one place," as I got back in my car to leave. What a horrible business. I will never go back. read more

The guy who works there is a condescending jerk - the guy with the white truck with big off-road tires. I've taken all three of my cars there every year for five years, but no more. My 2002 Nissan Frontier had a Service Engine Soon light on last week, I used my scan tool (I work on my own cars) to see if it was throwing any codes (it wasn't) and to run the emissions checks (everything passed). Various on-line forums said this problem could be caused by a loose or defective gas cap, so I fiddled with that then reset the SES light. I take it to get it smogged today, and it failed because it hasn't been driven enough, which is fine. I thought it had driven it enough, but apprently not. Then Beardy McFlatbrim asks me if I just cleared the Check Engine light. I tell him the above, that it wasn't throwing any codes and it passed the emissions checks, but I did reset the SES light after fiddling with the gas cap. He looks at me like I'm lying. He mentions the Check Engine light again, and I tell him that it doesn't have a Check Engine light per se. (And it doesn't, it's called a Service Engine Soon light. It's an old truck.) I tell him I don't appreciate his smug attitude, and he smirks at me. It wasn't that I wasted $26 (I should've run the emissions check at home to make sure the truck had been driven enough for everything to be ready), but I will not do business with anyone who treats me like a liar and an idiot. (I've never read the yelp reviews before today, but apparently this guy is a jerk to a lot of people). Take your business elsewhere. read more

Based on the experience of a friend (upon simply pulling up and getting out of his vehicle to inquire about service, an EE stated "I can't believe how f ing stupid you are"), NO ONE SHOULD PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS! read more

Been going to this place every year for at least ten years. Usually you pull up and the guy motions for you to move forward to the machine. Went today and some guy was standing out on the sidewalk with arms crossed staring at me. Not even sure if he worked there so I hung back. After a few minutes he went inside and his feet on the desk so then I pulled forward and got out of my car. He came out and said he could not believe anyone was that dumb for sitting in their car. I said that in the past I would get asked to move forward to the machine but if he didn't want to do the smog check I would leave. He replied that he still can't believe I was that big of an idiot and as I went to get in my car he called me an asshole. Needless to say I won't be going back read more

Because of this rude Ass guy this morning..will never go back..was here at about 9:45 on Thursday morning...he wanted me to rush out of my car after I parked..just because one other guy was waiting...but the thing that got my goat was when I told him I can't move fast because of 3 spine surgeries and a new pain pump...when he replied..better you than me..i knew I had to write this letter.... read more

Jared was fast and knowledgeable. I had a few questions about my registration and he had all the answers He had me in and out in just a couple minutes! read more

I stopped at this smog testing center because I had a coupon for $19.95. There was no one present when I got there and I wondered if it was closed. I got out of my car and started to go into what I thought was the office when a man came out with a disgusted look on his face and was the rudest person I have ever met. I have never been treated like that and I have been around some pretty rude people. I am an elderly woman and he told me that I look 160 years old and needed to destress. He told me to get out of there and never come back; he threw the coupon I gave him at me and told me he was not going to smog test my car. He kept talking over me and would not answer my questions; all the while telling me that I was the one causing the problem!! I don't know what planet he is living on, but it certainly is not the same one I am on! If he were an employee of mine he would be looking for another job and get a terrible review from me. I will never use this smog station again. THE ONLY REASON I GAVE A ONE STAR RATING IS BECAUSE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LEAVE MY COMMENT WITH NO STARS. IN MY OPINION AND EXPERIENCE, THIS STATION SHOULD BE CLOSED!!! read more

I have been coming here for years, and recently brought my car for a smog check. I was wearing a face mask. The employee was sarcastic and asked if I always wear a mask when I'm alone in the car. I shouldn't have answered, but I told him I had just come from the nearby bank and forgot to remove my mask. He then asked if I believe it prevents the virus and was insinuating that the virus was a lie. When I told him the news reports that over 500K have died, he laughed and said "You believe the news? Oh, right, you listen to NPR". (Referring to what the car radio was playing). This was an upsetting incident, and I won't be going back there, even though the location is convenient. read more
