The smog test was about 10 minutes even if they said 20 and it was all good really quick and they were very nice. The location is convenient and fast if it's on your way to work / going home. There was no line I came at around 9:26 and was out 9:38. This place is pretty transparent with their pricing and they have it published on the wall. 100% recommend. read more

Came in for Smog check. I didn't realize the check will fail if the check engine light is on, which it was. I think the person working also didn't notice and went through the entire process which took 15mins. The test failed, lol. He patiently explained to me why it failed and what needs to be fixed. Asked me to get it fixed, drive 100 miles and come back again. Didn't charge me a dime! Will definitely go back once I get the check engine light fixed. read more

I don't normally come here but did the drive so that the catalytic converter could heat up. I have an old car and there aren't many smog places that do old cars. Other place I use to go to said they don't let you try again if you fail the 1st time, you have to pay full price on the 2nd try. This place wasn't like that greedy place I used to go to. read more

I messaged them on Yelp to find their price, and they responded promptly. They told me to do a Yelp check-in so I could only pay $50 and go anytime during their business hours. The smog test was quick. I waited only 15 minutes, and the staff told me my car was ready. I showed him the message I received from them, and he honored it. He told me there was a fee if I paid with a card, so I opted to pay cash instead. I only paid $50, which was cheaper than other places. I will come back to do my future smog checks. read more

We've been getting our smog check here for the last few years and it's always been a good experience. I've sent friends here because you just can't beat their price and service. No appointment required and you're in and out in less than 30 minutes unless there are a few cars ahead of you. It's been a while since my cars needed smog cert so I did call around and still didn't find another place that can complete. We even checked and drove out to another place only to be told a different price than what we were quoted on the phone. I'll continue to send business their way. read more

I called DMV seven times today and spoke to 4 individuals (with 3 calls dropped). The 3rd individual said "uhh no you did your smog in 2023 and your vehicle requires a smog check every 3 years."

After multiple visits and consistent issues, I feel compelled to share my honest experience with MT Smog Check, despite the abundance of positive reviews ! My initial visit was confusing and costly. I was charged the full price including a certificate fee, despite the smog test not passing. I didn't realize this was incorrect until a friend mentioned that the certificate fee should not be applied if the test fails A few days later, I returned for a retest, hoping for a better outcome. To my disappointment, not only was I charged again, but they also continued to insist on cash payments to avoid a 3% credit card fee, which seemed like a tactic to avoid leaving a paper trail of the transaction. Unfortunately, the retest was also unsuccessful Frustrated, I decided to visit another smog check facility nearby within 10 minutes, where I followed my mechanic's advice to ensure my vehicle would pass. Thankfully, this other facility conducted the test and my vehicle passed without any issues This experience leads me to believe that the practices at MT Smog Check may not be entirely straightforward. For anyone considering this facility, I recommend exploring other options or being very cautious about the fees charged, especially if your vehicle fails the initial test read more

Hi guys, I found a great and unbeatable deal and excellent service: Today I shopped for star smog check for my 1997 Honda Accord 4 cylinder car. I called about one dozen star certified shops in Fremont and Newark in 94538 zip area and the quote I got varied from $50 to $70, that is for test and DMV certificate fee included (total out of the door price). I read about the deal for the MT smog test station. There are two of this, one in SAN Jose and the other in Newark. I called the Newark station at 38592 in Cedar Blvd. and Tom Truong, the owner and the tech picked up the phone and quoted $50. When I mentioned the Yelp deal of $40 that others used to get from this station, he gladly accepted the offer. I went there and he recognized me as soon as I reached his shop. The test was done in 10 minutes, all the info I typed on his iPad. I paid the stated amount and he gladly accepted. He sent the report immediately to the DMV. I wanted to give six stars but five is the maximum! read more

I took my mom's car in without an appointment. There was one customer ahead of me, but someone took my paperwork right away and invited me to sit in their waiting room. I probably only waited 20 minutes before the car was done. The technician gave me all of the paperwork and told me the test results would be sent directly to the DMV. I know the drill, but appreciate that he took the time to explain it. I used a voucher from yelp for a discount, which was honored without question. This was a very easy place to go for this service.

I was repeatedly informed by "Fremont quick smog" that the completed smog check passed and will be automatically transmitted to the DMV. This year, 2025, DMV is requesting yet another smog check. I called DMV seven times today and spoke to 4 individuals (with 3 calls dropped). The 3rd individual said "uhh no you did your smog in 2023 and your vehicle requires a smog check every 3 years." I drive a 2016 SUV. Go elsewhere for a smog check. Massive headache, tremendous amount of time wasted, and money wasted. Totally not worth the potential trouble.

I will definitely be taking my car here for future work.

Sitting in a waiting room where three other clients are women, it made me think that this shop is honest, fair, and welcoming to all. And as a woman, I need an auto shop that I can trust.

Continue recommending them after what seems to be 7 years of total service with them.

I got my vehicle in and out without any trouble. Their prices seem fair. Jesse was the one that I spoke to and at the end of the service, he told me that they had checked my break fluid for me (without me needing to ask) and recommended that I come back in a year to get it flushed out since it was still good at the time he checked it. Fast forward a year, I came in and spoke to Jesse again and asked if he could check my brake fluid to see if it needed changing. He kindly did so and was honest with me and told me that my brake fluid was still good and did not need changing and that I could probably push the service a little longer. Keep in mind, this second time I came in I had no other services done. Their honesty and fair prices have definitely converted me into a regular customer. I will be bringing my vehicle here for my maintenance oil changes because their prices are better than the previous place I was going to.
