Always been quick and easy to get my smog check done at Fresh California Smog. Took about 5 minutes!!!

I have used California Fresh Smog in Santa Clara for the last several years for my car as well as my wife's, and we are extremely pleased with the service that we receive each time we visit this business. RJ, the owner of Fresh California Smog, is very courteous and knowledgeable. During my last visit, RJ was able to overcome a couple of obstacles in getting my 2001 Chevy Tahoe to pass the test this year. RJ didn't give up, and after a second try, a short time later, my car passed, and I was on my way. If you're looking for great Customer service at a very reasonable price, then I highly recommend RJ and Fresh California Smog. Thanks for the great Customer service, RJ, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Bruce McCombs read more

I called. I drove to Fresh California Smog and rolled in. I gave him my DMV paper. He hooked up my car and it passed. I paid him and thanked him for another year of great service. And I will do it all again with our other car in the spring. And yes, he's a really nice guy, too. See for yourself. read more

Great service. Fast! He had me in and out in less than 15 minutes. I would highly recommend this shop!

Easily the best smog experience I've had. I was pretty much in and out of here in 10 minutes. The owner is extremely diligent and communicative, and the price is very good as well. Highly recommend this place, will only be going here from now on. read more

The guy who runs it is extremely friendly. Second time getting my smog here, and it was done professionally and promptly! Prices are Bay Area's average, and I'd say below average for a legitimate and clean business. Brought both a Corolla here and a Porsche. Find you a shop that does both. Highly recommend!! read more

My best experience with Smog check! The guy who helped me was very friendly and gave me helpful advice for my next steps. Gave me extra time for coming back for retest. Also fair price. I definitely recommend. Thank you so much :) read more

Best smog shop I've worked with in decades! I haven't needed smog check in a few years, and of course my go-to shop closed down during this time. After scouring Yelp, I decided to go with RJ. Even though his quote was not the lowest, he was the friendliest, with the most transparent pricing upfront. Another customer was already in the shop when I showed up, but was done quickly. Clean shop, minimal paperwork, and RJ was so fast that the car was ready before I could even sit down. He quickly took care of payment and patiently answered all my questions (e.g. how long before DMV records are updated: within 24 hours). Everything was done within 10 mins. This was definitely my best smog check experience. read more

I was in dire need for VIN verification services since I purchased a new vehicle out of state that just arrived yesterday and had to process the last necessary steps in order to make the car "CA" legal. In addition to smog testing and a passed certificate, I needed this VIN verification performed. Raynold responded to my Yelp inquiry and even though I didn't have the vehicle smogged through him, he did provide a recommendation for a VIN Verifier in the area. Raynold didn't need to do this but I wanted everyone to know that he took time from his day off to provide this info for me. He really cares about his customers. Greatly appreciated!! read more

I messaged RJ (from what I gather from the other reviews) on Yelp yesterday because I got my dreaded registration notice in the mail. Which is ironic since I'm not driving more than 20 miles a week if that. Anyway, he responded so quickly and kindly and is open during this crazy time. I took my car in this morning at around 1220PM, hoping to get it done right before I went around the corner to get my car serviced (it's a good day to be my car). He was ready for me and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes, with lots of time to spare before my appointment at the dealership. For just smog certification (he is test only too), he charges $50 cash or $52 credit card. He is open right now from 10AM to 4PM. Obviously, its first come, first served. I was lucky and I rolled up with no one in front of me, but as he was helping me out, he had a couple of other customers arrive too. Clearly this guy is GOOD. Also, he is very respectful about social distancing and wearing gloves and mask when going in and out of my car. Happy that smog time is over for another year and happy that RJ helped me out! read more

Great guy and fast service I was in and out of there in ma to be less than 15 minutes!

My go-to place for smog checks since I have a supercharged car with CARB EO certification and RJ knows his stuff. I've had another place turn me away because of the supercharger; probably because they were edumacated with Smog Checks for Dummies. read more

Glad this place is open during covid. Make sure you bring a mask coming in. Safety is #1 priority here. read more

Excellent service professional and easy to talk to. Thank you for the great experience during this smog check.

Needed a smog check, so I looked up what was nearby on yelp, and walked in around noon. He was just finishing up with the previous customer, so it was good timing, and I was in and out in no more than 15 minutes. Super quick, super easy, and I will for sure come back here if I ever need a smog check again. Location-wise, it's in the 76 gas station parking area, so pretty easy to find. read more

After going back and forth with the DMV in order to get my car off PNO, I was finally given a 1-day moving permit so that I can get a smog. Went to a couple different places and they wouldn't help me out because my car was too "Old". Apparently they couldn't be bothered since my car (1988 Honda) needed specific equipment to get a smog check. They told me that their machines were broken and shooed me away. As I was running out of time (most shops close at 5~6PM), a friend recommended me here and said that RJ could probably get it done. I sent him a quick message and he told me to stop by. I rushed on over and was surprised to find a small garage behind the 76 gas station. I pulled my car up, talked about my situation, handed the paperwork and he got to work. As he was setting up, I quickly realized why the other shops denied me service. There was so much preparation that needed to be done just to get an old car ready, but this guy was fast. I was surprised to be in and out in 20 minutes and just before he closed shop for the day. RJ was super friendly, very professional and provided great customer service. I'll definitely be coming back with my other cars in the future! Thanks again! read more

I took my Chevy Tahoe to Fresh California Smog, and the service I received was absolutely first-rate. I was referred to Fresh California Smog by my mechanic, and also by my neighbor. AJ completed my smog test in a matter of minutes, without an appointment. The shop is clean and well-organized, and the price was very fair. I highly recommend AJ and Fresh California Smog. read more
