This place was great.....followed through on everything they advertised. Made an appointment and was taken right away. They honored their online coupon and I was out of there in 15 minutes. They were inexpensive, fast and nice. I will go back again. read more

Umit at EZ Star was warm, exceptionally efficient, and made a somewhat tedious task a pleasure. The experience at EZ Star was in stark contrast to the random pick I landed at two years ago. Prior to my last two smog tests I had taken my car to the same place (since closed) for 18+ years. I think I have found the place for my next 18 years. Umit made the whole process easy, smooth and notably great! Make sure to check for deals (i.e. Yelp coupon or Groupon). Thank you Umit for making my visit a good one! read more

Hassan is very friendly and efficient! I was so impressed that I brought our other car in the next day for service. We were in and out within a half hour. Good price too with coupon--cash only. read more

I just want to thank the employee Marcos for my smog test on my Honda Accord!Marcos had no problems answering all my questions, very efficient and had my vehicle inspected in a timely manner. I definitely recommend this facility for their services and cost for procedure. Kudos to your service Marcos! read more

I stopped in around lunch today and was in and out in about 15 minutes. Also, the manager was extremely nice and a pleasure to talk with. I left feeling like I had ripped them off by using a coupon. read more

Super friendly, no waiting and great service...what else can you say! Oh, and great online coupon made the price very competitive. Definitely coming back here again! read more

I am very happy with the quick and friendly service we received when we went to get our van tested. I was actually quoted the wrong price for my vehicle, it was supposed to be much more because of the size of my vehicle but the technician, Umit, said he would honor the incorrect quote anyways. Umit was very friendly and helpful and the whole test was done quickly and professionally. I would definitely recommend anyone who needs a smog check to visit this location. They are star certified to boot so they can test all cars. Don't waste your time searching for a different place, this is where you want to go! read more

I came across this place on Groupon which was a great deal. The gentleman was very nice and professional he started on my car immediately. I get off work at five and ge told me if i got there at 5:30 or 5:45 he would still take even though it would be almost closing time he went above and beyond to make sure i would be able to get my car smogged. I was very pleased with the service and it did not take long at all highly recommend read more

Quick and friendly service. We dropped off the car and had brunch nearby. The car was ready when we returned. We'll go back next time. read more

We called a man named Hassan on the phone to arrange a smog check for the purpose of registration. When he answered the phone he was friendly and had very helpful information, which made us feel very comfortable going to his place of business. When we got there has was just as kind in person as he was on the phone. He took our information and completed the smog check in about 10mins. We were on our way, and happy. I would recommend anybody to this place of business because he was simply 5 star.... That's what I gave him Denise Warren read more

Needed a place in Berkeley to get my car smogged at a reasonable price, I had an appointment with the DMV I needed to get to and all the other nearby spots were crowded. Showed up here and was taken immediately, the whole process took no more than 15 minutes. I was in and out in no time, the mechanic, Hassan, was very friendly, probably the nicest mechanic I've ever dealt with. Great spot, I'll be back the next time I need a smog. read more

Best place in town! Went in earlier this morning to see how much the smog would cost me, luckily there was only one customer ahead of me. I ended up getting my smog right away. Marcos who did my smog was very nice and helpful and answered a lot of my questions. I was in and out thanks to him. He did a very good job! Their prices are very reasonable. Great customer service! Kudos to this shop! read more

Fast, well priced, in and out in 15 minutes. Wham, bam, thank you man! Hassan is friendly, fast and will get you on your way quickly. read more

Went to EZ Star Smog Test Only 2 this morning. Quick, fast, friendly service from Inspector Hassan. Honored the Yelp coupon! Best price around for a smog check. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great service from the moment I stepped out of my car, I was greeted and told to move my car so I can be next for my test. Before starting the test I showed the manager the coupon and to my surprise he had already added it to the paper work which was great. I handed over my keys and he told me to wait about 10-15 min, which was faster than I expected since there was one car ahead of me. By the time he was finished he told me my car was in excellent condition and even told me if a mechanic said something was wrong to get a second opinion because my car runs great. When it came down to paying I realized I didn't have enough cash I said I would go to the gas station a crossed the street and he said no problem I can pay the rest of my amount with card since the gas station would have charged me $4 anyways, saved me time and money! I will definitely recommend my friends and family to come here amazing service! read more

Most places are RV phobic. "EZ Star Smog Test Only 2" is very friendly and helpful! First, I was able to make an appointment and when I showed up, Hassan guided me in so my RV didn't hit the low ceiling inside the garage. It's probably best to come in sideways, esp if you have a big RV so they can get your exhaust pipe close to the machine, but Hassan went the extra mile, got an extension cord to move the machine closer. He carefully removed and replaced the doghouse after the check, and even alerted me to a messy radiator leak. Not only that he gave me a flashlight and a clean cardboard box to lay on so I could go under there and SEE it. How cool is that!?! Of course I forgot the paperwork from the DMV, but I had my previous smog paperwork with my registration so that really helped, Hassan said. Here's a helpful FYI: if you have had a full engine replacement, unfortunately you have to go somewhere else, to a "referee" station. We were all good though, I passed. They e-filed my smog certificate and I was all set for 2 years! Thanks, Hassan! read more

Quick and easy! Showed up 10 mins before my appointment and the guy that helped me, Hassan Kaanoune, got right to it. In 10 mins, he let me know that my car passed. Very friendly service. Definitely will go back! read more

Great service! I came here on a Saturday morning and was treated a quick and easy in and out with the smog test. I highly recommend.

Great service!!! I needed to get in for a smog check and was able to get an appointment that same day. Once there, I met Hassan, who was so friendly and extremely efficient. My car was done in about 15 minutes. The customer service was outstanding; I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Still a great place. Hassan was as cheerful and efficient as I remember. In and out in about 10 minutes. Even if you have to wait, walk down the block to Philz and have an iced mint mojito. =) read more

When I arrived at the shop, I was amazed that there was no wait time. The technician on site was very personable, and knew exactly how to accomplish his task. And within a short period of time he placed my vehicle on the emmision computer, and before I could finish my smoothie, my vehicle test was completed. I am truly appreciative of his expert knowledge of the business. Thank you EZ Smog for a pleasant experience on yesterday. I have already spread the word about your business. read more

Best place to get a quick and professional smog! I was in an out in 15 minutes! Hassan was very personable and inviting. I will definitely come back here! read more

Called up this morning after reading other yelp reviews. Had a great fast experience. Took about 30 minutes in total for the smog check and Hassan was very friendly. I mentioned the yelp price of 24.75 at the beginning and it was honored. Total came to $33. No complaints here. read more

Needed to get my 2007 sedan smog checked. Drove to the garage and Hassan greeted me right away. No nonsense, $45 for the smog check+cert, said he'd be done in 15 minutes. Walked down Gilman to Whole Foods, grabbed a coffee, came back and it was done. Great service, this will be my first stop when I need a vehicle smogged. read more

Swung by EZ star--he was kind, courteous, and great at communicating what was going on. I am not a typical yelper, not a confident car expert--but felt comfortable at EZ star! read more

brought another car into shop - Honda Accord 2002 and in and out in 15 minutes without an appointment. Marcos was attentive and friendly. Thank you! read more

fast, easy, friendly, cheap. all one could possibly ask for in a smog test site.

just did my smog check here for my 2011 corolla s, this is a very fast and kind service, very good price with coupon, but you have to be an early bird, that is reasonable. absolutely worth 5 stars. read more

Quick, easy, and the gentleman running the test was incredibly friendly. For a smog check, I don't know if you can ask for much more.

Quick, friendly, affordable. In and out in approximately half an hour. Hassan made it a very positive experience.

Five stars for Hassan! He was very friendly and the service was quick! Don't forget the Groupon

Based on a recommendation from a neighbor, I went to EZ Star on a Wednesday afternoon without an appointment. The gentleman there, Hassan, made the whole experience so easy. He was welcoming, efficient and gave me the yelp coupon price even though I didn't have the coupon. The whole process took about ten minutes. This is the first time I have ever looked forward to returning to a smog test station next time I need to renew my registration. Would give him more than five stars if that were possible. read more

I am happy CA has clean air standards and that gross polluters are not allowed on the road. However, with the two-year smog check requirement, it is easy to forget to stay on top of these things. With all the smog check stations out there and the Yelposphere thick with five-star smog places, it's a pain in the ass to zero in on one. The prices also vary widely, which boggles my mind. Smog checks, at least for newer cars, take like 10 minutes and can be more expensive than an oil change, which requires more resources and labor. I paid $60 for my first smog check in CA and was satisfied with the $34 price tag here (prices vary depending on the model of your car - I drive a boring 2008 Corolla [her name is Gerdy]). I did not need a coupon to get the $34-price and did not have to check in on Yelp or leave a five-star review! I am glad I stumbled upon this place. It was a hassle-free experience, and the gentleman working today was very nice and customer-oriented. I wish I would've gotten his name. Anyways, the whole process took five minutes once it was my turn. Thank you, also, for being open on Saturdays. The only thing that sucked was the San Pablo/Gilman traffic. Take me back to Nebraska, please. read more

Went there today, no wait at all. In an out in 15 minutes for only $33. Friendly service, STAR verified, and free re-test if your vehicle does not pass. Highly recommend! read more

I had such a great experience smog testing my car here. I had been putting it off for months but received a coupon in the mail and decided to check it out. I was in and out in 20 minutes and didn't even have to wait. Umit was so courteous, helpful and friendly. This is definitely our go to smog testing spot from now on. read more

Went and got my smog here on Thursday. The guy who helped me and who took my appointment was really nice, polite and professional. The service was great and fast. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Came in on a Saturday and was helped really quickly. Very easy and great service offered. Highly recommend getting your smog check here and also they are star certified. Excellent pricing makes this even better! Thanks! read more

I absolutely recommend this business for a smog check! Very quick and excellent customer service. Extremely good price- you will not find a better deal. I had an appointment and came late but the nice man still took my car on the spot and was very efficient. Zero attitude, just nice great service. read more

This the best smog station yet. Thank you Hassan for the great service and being so accommodating! Can't beat their price when you mention their Yelp deal. This was the lowest I've ever paid for a smog check. I highly recommend them!!! read more

Went to pay my insurance only to realize I need a smog check. Thank goodness I came here. The staff was super friendly and got me in and out in no time after work . I am definitely coming back to this establishment the next time I need a smog check. read more
