Yes, I highly recommend Happy Smong Check. Fast service and excellent customer service.

Great smog place! Affordable straight forward pricing, no "CA certificate fees" like other smog places. Work was done efficiently and no hassle, it was nice having the gas station connected so I can refill and get a drink while I waited. Will only be coming to this smog station for all my other vehicles from now on! Also bonus, 9 am and had no wait, which is always a plus! read more

Grumpiest dude alive but they're always the most reliable, $70 quoted to me for my same car since like 2010's and it's been like that ever since, no inflation straight up G read more

Happy Smog Check - Smog check vibes - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Milpitas, California

Quick, accurate and friendly service. The only reason I deducted one star was because the price seems high at $70 total. I found other places with coupons, but they are so crowded. This was close to home and I was able to get in and out with no stress. read more

MAC is the man!.............. Great service!......... ... Reasonable price! ........... read more

Today marks the 4th time I've been to Happy Smog. They're fast, easy and convenient. The service I received was always friendly and price was reasonable. I'd recommend going in the morning right when they're open so you're in and out within 15-20 mins. read more

I found them by yelp, convenience location so I gave them a try. I called ahead to check if they were opened, see how busy they were , and get a price. Everything seemed OK, little wait and reasonable price, so I went. I arrived, they told me to wait a bit so I did. When it's my turn, they wanted more MONEY and I told them I called prior to coming and price was now higher? and I believe it's the owner told me go ahead and leave unless I pay the higher price. I still did it just to save myself time from finding another place but nothing more. Next time around, I will just go somewhere else. Who knows what they will do next time. read more

So close to home however I will drive next time. Poor customer service is an under statement. The man seems drunk.

Flagged my car my first smog check. Told my mom he could fail her smog test but said he chose not to. Very unaccommodating.

I called a few places in the area and this was the easiest and closest place I could get to at the time. The lady have me a quote over the phone but when I showed up, they gave me a different price! So I kindly reminded them of what they quoted me over the phone and the lady said "oh ok". The whole process took less than 10 mins and I didn't even leave my car! Would smog again, but probably call ahead of time to lock down the price read more

Happy smog was quick and reliable! I was able to get my star test smog check! They told me it would take 20-30 minutes and I was done in the exact time! If in the Milpitas area and looking for a quick star testing smog this is a good one to go too! I think the price wasn't to cheap also read more

I WILL never go back to this place for smog check ever again! I highly encourage customer to do the same. Tech working in there have no customer service and doesn't know what their doing. My experience today was having to deal with the lady who I believed not even the certified Tech telling another co-worker what to do. Made us wait a long time and the machine was not ever working, cable to be exact not connecting and charge us extra because of their mistake. Horrible place I've experience leaving decades in Milpitas area. read more

In and out in ten minutes. Called first to see if there was a wait on Friday morning - there wasn't. $46 for test and $8.75 for certificate transmission for my 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid (annoyed that DMV now requires smog certification for hybrids), so out the door $55. Friendly and efficient. The Warm Springs Fremont location I used to frequent for oil changes and smog is no longer, but this location is just as fast and professional. read more

I decided to give this place a call because they mailed me a coupon for $15 off their smog check. I made a call to them and a guy answered the phone who seemed to know what he was talking about. I said I had a BMW such and such. He quote me a price. I said I had his grand opening mailer coupon for $15 off and he said, sorry we don't take that. He said he already quoted me the lowest price. I explained that he mailed me this coupon and it did not expire according to the coupon. He insisted he would not accept it. I could tell his price was reasonable which was not necessarily more or less than other smog places. I was just upset he would not honor his coupon. I mentioned that I would call back later in the week to get my car in as I would have more time. During my second call, I said I wanted to make an appointment to come in as his price was still mid range and the location was close to my house. I gave him the make and model of my car and then he said he cannot test my car. That got me more upset as I said I just called in a few days ago and they said they could smog my car. This just made me do more work in searching for another smog check station. read more

Revised Post: Review based on employees working on 7-28-17 - I took my 87 Volkswagen Golf to get a smog check and informed the tech that it takes some finesse getting into first gear. The tech did not listen to my advice and instead forced the car into 1st gear. What ended up happening was that he put the car into 3rd gear and attempted to proceed with the rolling test. Well he stalled 6 times and almost ran my car off the rollers. In the end the other tech told me they could not complete the smog and told me to go across the street to 76. I do not recommend this place if you have car with standard transmission as the tech is incompetent and disregards advice from car owner. read more

See all

Called twice. Answered, couldn't / didn't understand my request for smog appt and hung-up on me! TWICE!!!!

Guy didnt pass me because he didnt recognize my carb legal intake, with the carb sticker in place..

Vietnamese woman who picked up the phone around 1 PM on 5/1/21 was very impolite and was more focused on her personal conversation than helping me. Management should take notice, your front desk staff is very important since they are the first point of contact for customers - and first impressions count. read more

This was the only place opened in the late afternoon on a Saturday!!! So if you're like me and don't have time during the weekdays/likes to sleep in on the weekends, this place is probably your safest bet. I called ahead to confirm that there will be a discount so the total ended up being around $50. After I hung up I drove right over and my smog check was done within 15-20 minutes. I was the only person there so it was very quick! It's located right next to the Shell gas station so make sure you don't over look it! The man who worked there was very friendly and even gave me a chair to sit on while I waited. read more

They don't care whether your car can pass the smog check or not, even though you just want to solve some minor problems in one stop. They want you to pay first, and rarely make any promise. If you just want to do the smog check, not a problem. If you want to pass the smog check, go find someone else. Don't wasite your time and money here because you won't get your car fixed here. read more

This is a STAR station. It is part of the Shell gas station. You can just drive there without making an appointment. I waited for about 5 minutes for them to finish the car in front of me. Then it took them less than 10 minutes to do the smog check on my car. The total cost was $60 (smog test + certificate) . The whole process was smooth, quick and easy. read more

Dishonest Took the car for a Smog check, price agreed was $50, on return in about 10 minutes the technician said he needs to charge me another $30 for a fuse. I told I have not authorized and he did not check with me, then he came down to $20 for the fuse, handed what he thought I would not know was not a fuse. I asked for the car back and if the smog was done, he went to his station and fiddled around and came back. I was looking up the complaint number, he might have seen, he said he was giving me a christmas present and not charging for the fuse. I was ready to call the cops in the scam. read more

I was trying to smog my car, I haven't start yet like paper work etc, the Asian lady said oh! you car smoke I don't want to smog it, WTH she never gave me a change. Don't go to smog there bad business. Or she don't have certified license. I put Minus - 5 read more

DECEITFUL. I went to get my 1999 Plymouth Voyager smog checked at Happy Smog Check in Milpitas. I am not happy. I had one of their "$15 OFF" coupons as shown on Yelp. I very carefully asked the price of their smog check for my van before I showed the coupon. I was told $55 for a total - including certificate. So let me do the math: $55 minus $15 = $40. I then waited for 25 minutes while he took care of two other patrons before me. He then went and got my car -- seeing the $15 off certificate sitting on the passenger seat. He then got my paperwork and told me: "The smog check is $75, and I'll give you $20 off that price. BETTER than with your coupon". But of course he had quoted me $55 as the price without the coupon. I wish you could have seen his demeanor and face as he did this. He looked guilty as hell -- knowing he was reneging on his price and cheating me. As my father always told me (to quote Maverick): "I'd not trust this guy as far as I could throw him". I would not recommend patronizing this operation -- too untrustworthy. I wasted 25 minutes on his deceit. Happy Ending - elsewhere. A smog check on Minnis Circle in Milpitas gave me a complete smog check for $40 -- without my needing to even bargain. See my review of that smog check on Yelp. read more

This was my worst experience with a smog check!!!!! I have gotten it done here before and it was a different man, who was polite and a good technician. But now it's a different man and he is racist, impolite, and has no skill for this job. So far all the people that I know and have gone there recently have said he is racist and sometimes even charges more because your not Vietnamese!!!! Overall I suggest people not to go there because of this worker!! read more

Went here said he could do my smog for a title transfer. Then coukd not because he said my Catalyst converter he needed a part number for i didn't have it on me went home to get it. Then he told me didn't look like it went with the car even though he just eyeballed it. When i brought the invoice back from a muffler shop with the part number on it he told me he would not pass me. He would not even look at the paper work. Told me to go to the 76 station. I told catali the 76 station would not do it because my car was lowered. I think it was because he was to busy texting who ever. It was a waste of my time. He was rude and helpful at all. I would not recommended this shop to anyone. Funny i had had it smog before after the catalyst converter was installed last time with no troubles. I think he just didn't want to do it. read more

Nice guy and friendly service. I can not vouch for the other negative reviews, but I did my smog check for $50 as quoted on the phone. I called the other places and they were around the same price or more, but I chose this place since its the closest to me. Been here twice and had no problems. read more

I received one of those SMOG at test ONLY station before i can renew my cars registration. I checked around and most places charge $50-$60 for it. Looked around and found Happy Smog Check which was having a special promotion with coupon for $40. The price varies if you don't mention the yelp ad, or print out the coupon. read more

I usually take my car here for mechanical stuff like repairs or checks. They are always very nice and willing to help. I've gone to get my tires rotated and I get helped right away rather than having to wait too long. Now I'm just getting a smog test and I got helped right away just upon getting here. Definitely my go to place cause it's right next to home. read more

The owner of this place is really rude and unprofessional. The price is extremely expensive. Called in give you one price and then change the price when you are there. Hey , guys and girls,Go to the guy across the street (76 gas station) is much cheaper and friendlier . read more

I found Happy Smog and the gentle was just that. Smiling and ready to help me. There was one car before me but I was still in and out in a few minutes. Great service and very friendly! read more
