    Nice area to sit and wait with umbrella shade to boot!
    Edwin R.

    Such a great experience here! KS Smog is tucked up in the hills of San Leandro right off I-580 -- super easy to find. I came in on a Saturday with no appointment and was in and out in about 15 minutes. The guy who helped me was really kind and professional. While waiting, I chatted with another customer who said they've been coming here for years because of the great service and prices -- totally makes sense after my visit. They even have a nice little shaded area with umbrellas where you can relax while you wait. Quick, friendly, and stress-free -- definitely my go-to spot for smog checks from now on! Big thanks to esteemed Yelp Elite Victor for the awesome recommendation!

    I'm here for a smog!

    When I drove up someone came to me quickly. I believe the owner came and spoke with me! I told him my starter is going out. So I will leave the car running. He said it would be about an hour. However, it was way faster than that! He did my car in a few seconds it seemed like! Very quickly! Price for smog very reasonable! $45 say what! So cheap! I will be back geez next year! lol I missed a year car wasn't working. Micheal and team are phenomenal!!!! Ni went to the dmv! I was telling people that mentioned they needed a smog. I said KS smog is the place! I gave them the address and they said they were headed over there! Micheal sending u business! BC you were so kind and polite! The sun was beautiful and the outside seating area was so very nice! Thank you for your perfect service!

    See all

    Some Smog places charge an extra fee for my 2007 Lexus ES, calling it a Luxury Vehicle even though it's just the same car as a Toyota Avalon. Is there a "Luxury" Fee for my car?

    We do not charge extra for “luxury”.

    This wasn't my usual spot to go for a smog check but I was in the area visiting a friend. The…read morelocation was very small and not a lot of room to maneuver around. It was like pulling up in front of someone's driveway and getting your smog check done right there. There was only one guy working. I would describe him as nice, quick and efficient. When he was writing down the info for my car, I showed him the web special on my phone and he was able to give me the discount. It took about 25 minutes for my smog check to be done. It probably would have been done quicker but there were a couple of people ahead of me. They did a few chairs inside for you to sit while you wait. If you were planning on using the web special, I would recommend calling them just to make sure your car qualified for the discount before you go. I thought I might have needed to call a few times before someone picked up but they were quick to answer my call. I noticed the guy actually carried the phone with him when I was there. The only downside about this place was that they charge you for a retest if your smog check failed so that would be something to consider if you decided to come here.

    I came here for a retest after my car failed the first inspection. I paid $59 without realizing…read morethere was a $39 offer on the website. When I politely asked about it during my return visit, the employee (different from the first time) was immediately rude. I was trying to explain myself calmly and even said "let me explain better" since English is not my first language. Instead of helping, he gave a very hard, mocking laugh, acted like he couldn't understand me, and then started yelling. It felt disrespectful and humiliating. I was calm and respectful the entire time, so the reaction felt completely unnecessary. I also saw other reviews mentioning rude behavior from staff, and others saying they were refused the $39 discount advertised online. At first I ignored those reviews, but now I understand what people meant. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional, and basic customer respect was missing.

    I had an excellent experience at Pro Smog with Dan. You can immediately tell Dan is a true car guy…read morewho genuinely cares about the vehicles he works on. He treats customers' cars like they're his own, and that level of care and attention is hard to find these days. His shop is always busy, but now I understand why -- customers keep coming back. You see a steady flow of returning customers and it's clear he has built his business on trust, honesty, and word of mouth. In fact, that's exactly how I found out about Dan's shop -- everyone in town seems to know about him and recommends him. Even though he was helping other customers, he acknowledged me right away and was very professional, friendly, and honest about the wait time. No surprises, no runaround -- just straightforward, honest service. The process was quick, smooth, and very reasonably priced. Excellent prices, great service, and a very honest owner. Dan is approachable, professional, and clearly takes pride in his work and his business. It's rare to find someone who is this honest, efficient, and friendly all at the same time. I highly recommend Pro Smog. There's a reason this place is always busy -- good, honest service and happy returning customers. I will definitely be coming back.

He told us the approximate time the car would be finished and we picked it up and went on our way. The cost is reasonable for the test and the certificate. The place has some parking spaces and outdoor chairs to sit in while you wait.
