Absolutely amazing service here!! I couldn't believe how fast they were able to complete my SMOG check. I've had to get multiple SMOGs over the years and by far the best experience I've ever had. Also, great price!! When I checked in using Yelp, they gave me a discount. I will definitely recommend my family and friends. Great job Pacheco Smog and thank you again!! read more

The team was prompt and diligent to get me in and out in a short time. I felt welcome and treated well. Being a first timer the price was great and even without the discount, value is worth the business. Will use for future smog checks. read more

This is my go to place for getting my smog done. I always make an appointment and I've been in and out every time. I always recommend Pacheco smog to any of my friends and family in the area and they have never been disappointed. read more

Prices have gone up since I was last here but so has inflation so it's all good. They no longer have the yelp review discount and I no longer see the past reviews. There were a lot. Maybe new owners? So they will discount repeat vehicles so no need to write review but I think it would help them regain all their old reviews. read more

I would give zero stars to this place if I could. The 5 stars must be bribed reviews. Twice in a row over 2 years they failed smog check for some vague error code then charge you again to come back and complete the test. This time I was suspicious so I took it to another place that said nothing was wrong and passed the smog check at one go. They said this place is most be swindling you or just giving people a hard time. Stay away from this scam. read more

We went to Pacheco Smog for our early 2000s SUV two years ago and passed no issues and thought we'd return this year. When we returned this year in early February, our vehicle passed all categories except the tech who serviced our vehicle said they could not verify our vehicle had an EGR. This seemed odd and they claimed we may have removed it from the vehicle which it had not been, and passed in all prior inspections. They referred us to a local shop (the State Ref) in Vallejo where we'd have to pay additional service fees to have them verify if the device was present or not, and subsequently have to return to Pacheco Smog and pay the retesting fee. We felt like we were being taken advantage of in this scenario. We ended up going to another shop in the area for a test and second view. Our vehicle passed no problems. While we did pay a similar amount, we ended up paying less than we would have if we had gone to the other shop and paid the retest fees. Seems like the tech that serviced our vehicle was uninformed as to what they were looking for or simply did not spend enough time looking for the device. Won't be returning. read more

The low rider needed a smog test. I drove it around all day. If you have a car thats a bit older and that you only drive every so often, I recommend driving for at leas 80 miles before you take it in to get your smog test done. There is also a smog shop around the corner from where I live and when I went there, their machine was broken and they didn't know when it would be back up and running. So I drove over here because it was the first place I could think of. I know this but the guy in line ahead of me didn't. I heard Pacheco Smog's owner telling him this and I could tell the guy just didn't get it. My truck is older but I take really good care of it. Its my first baby after all. I came in at 4pm figuring they may not be busy and I did have to drive it all day. Pacheco Smog had a check in offer of $10 off. Heck Yeah! I checked in and talked to the owner about my Yelp addiction. The location is newly remodeled and has really great colors.*wink*wink* They were fast and I was home before 5pm. The owner is so nice and personable and is truly bringing back that family run local business. He lives locally as well and even said he recognized my truck from being around town. Well, my truck is pretty cute if I do say so myself. Plus, it passed smog. Yay!!!! read more

If you live or work or commute or just passing by anywhere near where I-680 and Highway 4 intersect, and you need a smog check, go here. They are like Smog Check meets Jiffy Lube. You can come in, wait in the waiting room with magazines, TV, coffee or water, and before you can finish watching the latest episode of a reality show on TLC, they are done! Yup, mine took about 20 minutes! And if you check in on Yelp, you save $10, so the smog check is $50. They are fast, clean, organized, courteous, and get it done. Don't go someplace where they seem to be in the Fog, if you want it done right, go to Pacheco Smog! read more

As an owner of an older car requiring a STAR certified smog station, it pays dividends to take it to a place that knows what they are doing and not trying to profit off unnecessary repairs. After my guy Melvin selling Bayside Smog, sob sob, I ended up finding Pacheco Smog through yelp. The 5 star reviews and $10 off coupon as well as the free retest (within 30 days) made this place my place to try for a second smog test. Here's something older car owners should know before they try to get their car smogged. It never hurts to use a bottle of Guaranteed to Pass in your gas take a tank BEFORE you need to smog. Then make sure you have the oil changed at least several days before testing. On test day, drive that thing like you've never driven it before. At least drive it around town and run your weekly errands and then pull into Pacheco. Don't sweat it either if you have to wait a bit either. By this time you have done all you can do to align the smog stars. My 99 Sunfire catalytic converter likes to work most of the time, but somehow it seems to not work at smog stations who can profit off repairs. At least this is what I've learned from two different years of mixed smogging experiences. Not everyone will have the same high NOx issues as my car, but I found my smog fails to be correlated to the chances of making money. So be aware when your baby needs to get tested and take it to Pacheco. They are honest, nice, do a great job and the price is right.The waiting room is very clean and comfortable. If you don't have a fellow waiting tester to chat with there's always some entertaining court TV show to watch. I HIGHLY recommend you make Pacheco Smog your place to smog test. BTW I don't know the owner and this is my first time there. I have however been almost bamboozled at other gas stations that are STAR certified. Although there are no guarantees in life, if you want to have a good experience do your part ahead of time and go to Pacheco so you know you made a great choice and did all you can do. Good luck! read more

Service is fairly prompt if you come on a weekday. I've been here for two cars now -- one pass one fail. The failed one they tested twice to make sure it wasn't a fluke; I definitely appreciated that. They have a small waiting room and a fairly quick workflow of paperwork etc to do your smog check. Price is pretty standard for smog. Mention the $10 off coupon! I paid $55 for a passing 98 Camry and $71 for a failed 93 Ford Ranger. $20 for a retest within a month. Make sure to bring paperwork for your car with the big barcode across the top -- anything will do, so long as it has the barcode. I guess it's the same code for all your documents. This makes the process far quicker; it's not required though. read more

Great service Timely Affordable Friendly and personable Courteous and thorough Mon thru Saturday I was directed to this star certified smog station after I tried to smog my truck at another place Because of some regulation I needed to go to a star certified station Now I bring all of my cars here read more

I don't write many reviews but I had to for this place. I was a bit skeptical at all the five star reviews... can it be possible that an auto place actually has 5 star reviews? well, it looks like it is indeed very possible. I was immediately greeted by an incredibly warm, conversational and humble mechanic. he was so incredibly friendly that I was shocked such customer service even existed at a place like this. the shop itself is pretty generic... a waiting room with magazines, a tv with the local news playing... not a whole lot. the main attraction in the office is the gentleman that was helping me (I totally forgot to get his name, darn!). after about 15 minutes of waiting, my car was ready to go! since I moved from out of state the same gentleman helped with my understanding of what the DMV process is going to be like and what necessary documents I should bring once I get there. super, super helpful. all this for an incredibly inexpensive cost. amazing. thank you for restoring my faith in customer service and in auto shops. you guys are amazing. specifically, the gentleman with curly hair who used to live in Texas was incredibly awesome... I apologize for not getting his name. so, fellow yelpers, if you need a smog check done before that dreaded dmv appointment - do yourself a favor and go here. they're efficient, friendly and inexpensive. A+. read more

Fast, no nonsense affordable. Family owned but very professional. Shouldn't all businesses be run like this? Plus points for keeping surrounding clean and being courteous. Used them 3 times - very consistent. read more

I have to agree with everyone else. This place is very fast and very honest with their pricing. While they do not match the customer's ads, they are upfront on what it costs going out the door. The owner, Hirmand, wants to earn your business, the old fashioned way. Hard work. It was quick and effortless. I will come back again. read more

Needed a smog test for my DMV registration. Pacheco Smog caught my eye on Yelp, so I stopped by today. Easy on the wallet, clean & tidy waiting room, FLAWLESS CUSTOMER SERVICE, and I was in and out in a few minutes - WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE????!!! read more

Don't bother going anywhere else! This is the place to go from now until the end of time! They are quick, reasonable and efficient. Funny, too; very personable and friendly. You don't even need an appt. on a Sat., which impressed both my husband and me. They were nice to my doggie, too, so that sealed the deal. Went in for my smog inspection with no spot & what fast & friendly service! I loooove this place. Everyone should know how friendly, fast & efficient they are. Milo the Hearing Dog just loves it there. read more

Great service and easy to get in on a rainy day. Honored the yelp offer so I got it done quickly and in expensively.

Finally! A place with great customer service! We were in and out in no time. The owner was not only sympathetic to our situation, he made sure to explain what to do at the DMV. read more

Super fast and friendly service and no hassle what so ever. I'd guess it was about 10 minutes from the time I pulled in until my smog check was done. Then I spent twice that much time shooting the breeze with Hirmand (the owner); talking about Yelp and other local businesses. I even got to grab a very tasty cheese burger from a 'taco truck' that had pulled into the parking lot. The whole processes was easier than filling my gas tank (and cheaper too). VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Great customer service. Been getting my cars smithed here for years. Prices are very fair and competitive with other smog places. Conveniently located by Monument car parts in case you need a gas cap or something to pass. Highly recommend. read more

Took my car here last minute ... The owner was real nice and took care of my car immediately... I seen two cars in front of me and he bumped me up because he said those were his " mechanic shop" clients and they weren't in a rush! Talk about good service.... In and out in less than 20 minutes also used the $10 yelp coupon he redeemed it no problem and even gave me another $10 coupon for friend or family member! I'm definitely recommending this shop and bringing my 2 other cars here going forward!!! read more

This was my fifth visit and once again they impressed me. Even though there were two cars ahead of me, I got out of there in less than 30 minutes. Honest, friendly and truly a winner!! Thanks again! Quick Update (5/30) I took one of our trucks and again great service! read more

Easiest Smog check ever. In and out in 20 minutes and no hastle. Use the Yelp coupon and you save $10 off your smog check. When I need a smog again, I will definately go back. read more

By far the easiest place I've gone for a smog, and friendly too! I've passed it so many times over the years, as I live nearby, and I'm glad I finally did. read more

Although I don't smog a vehicle daily, we do have 5 cars in our household. Herman and his guys were great!!!! Fast, friendly and very professional. I will refer all my friends and family to this place! Great job in running an efficient and friendly business! read more

There is a reason this place has 5 stars, it was the only place I called where they gave me an out the door price straight off the bat, everyone else offered ridiculously cheap ads then add on about 5 fees for certificate, older model, larger vehicle etc, (some places even tried adding a STAR fee as mine required a STAR station, apparently it makes no difference to the test they do, they're either a STAR station or they're not) and they came in equal cheapest of the 5 I called after all of their - *additional fees apply. I dealt with Hirmand this morning, he took time to explain a few question I had, he's polite and a pro, just old school good service, wish more businesses were run like this. At least two more years on the road for my 93 Toyota!! read more

Super quick, clean and hassle free! I was in and out in 20 minutes even with another couple of customers and the phone ringing off the hook! Made my day! read more

I only write reviews if i get super poor service or exceptional service. This falls under the exceptional service category. Fast Service, Easy, friendly and trustworthy. Best staff, reliable and painless!!!!!! read more

Customer service was brief and not friendly. I should have shopped around more because it cost $60 for a smog check! Of course I forgot to mention the check in $10 off. Otherwise it was quick and done in 20 mins. Still I would have preferred to not spend as much. The owner called and responded to my review. I thought it was incredibly kind to reach out and check in with me. I apologize for the harsh critique and to the person who was feeling overwhelmed. Thank you for going above and beyond in your customer service! I appreciate it! They also refunded the $10! read more

They were fantastic, reasonable price (esp with discount) and boy were they fast. I went in near closing and was out inside of ten minutes..maybe five. Customer service and professionalism was on point as well. read more

Went in about 10:40 on a Wednesday morning, and was out by 10:55... including small talk and paperwork. Tone is awesome, and knows his stuff. All in all, the easiest smog check I've ever experienced. I'm stoked! read more

Fast, and friendly service. The process over before I had a chance to help myself to some complementary coffee. They also give a $10 discount for checking in on Yelp. Boom! read more

Fast, Great Deal, Wonderful Service!!! If you don't take your car here you are definetly missing out, warm & friendly service and very informative. The owner Hirmand knows has real old school business sense, treat the customer right. I would recommend them in a heart beat! Great job guys! Keep up the good work! read more

I was in and out in 15 minutes! And there's a Yelp checkin discount at the time of this review. Super friendly, quick and high quality service and the price is fair. read more

Glad I chose Pacheco Smog. The reviewers are right. Friendly, honest service. I was in and out in about 20 minutes. Didn't have to make an appointment. I heard the owner talking to another customer, letting them know they should have something fixed before proceeding with the full smog test, to save them money. I appreciate that kind of honesty. I don't need someone to try and sell me something. Just be fair, up front, and do your best to help me. I'll definitely come back. read more

I thought they were joking quick. That's how quick. It was the easiest and most affordable smog check I've ever had.

Pacheco smog brings all the cars to the yard. They be like; "I'm falling apart" they be like; "I'm falling apart." "Please help me, my engine needs a charge!" read more

Fast, curtious and a great price. I paid $5 to get %10 off from the yelp coupon. Total at the door is $50. would recommend to family and friends. I gladly support local business read more

5 stars and 93 other reviews? I wasn't going to bother writing one but thought they really deserve this review! As a female, you're used to be talked down to or oversold when doing anything related to your car. Not a Pacheco Smog. I've taken 2 vehicles there. They are pleasant, respectful and polite. Both times I've been in and out in less than 20 minutes. Highly recommend using Pacheco Smog to anyone looking to have a vehicle smogged. read more
