Mohammed had me in and out of there in under 15 minutes for a smog check, and he added air to my tires as well. I love this place. Highly recommend. And he's a super nice guy. read more

I came in, was told to wait, guy was on a break. Ok. No time estimate- how long do I wait? I'll go wait in my car. No, don't park there, I'll be back in 40. So I waste 40 minutes, come back, he's helping 5-6 other cars yelling at me "I tried". No you didn't try anything. You said 40 minutes, I come back in 40 minutes. I sit around for 20 you don't even come talk to me. I don't have another hour to waste while you half-ass your job with your ass literally hanging out of your pants. Unprofessional, unpunctual, complete waste of time. Holding back SO many profanities. read more

I called 4 businesses for a quote. Berkeley smog check came in less costly with the $ 29.95 off coupon which was good for a month. All of these businesses offer coupons but come in with higher pricing. The business owner is a very nice man. Save your money and use Berkeleysmog. read more

Mohammed is the man! He was hilarious, kind, and quick with the smog inspection. Highly recommend!!

Mohamed was very fast and efficient. He took my car right in, and it was ready in half an hour as promised. Fair, transparent pricing with the coupon from their website. Gas prices are among the cheapest in the area, too. read more

I have a code from my obd 2 sensor butno check engine light. The technician correctly predicted that my car would still pass. Psa cars pas with PO 325 read more

Quick friendly and cheap. I'm not sure what more you can say about a smog check place. They got the job done. They were fast. They were cheap, and the tech was friendly and nice. That's about all you can say about a smog check shop. read more

If you have an older car, take it somewhere else! I came by and they refused to test my car since it was built in 1987, saying it was too much work. They seem to only be interested in the 2 minute jobs where they plug in to your car and get an instant pass/fail from the ECU. EDIT: In response to the owner's comment on my review, apparently according to the CA Bureau of Automotive Repair Health and Safety Code, Chapter 5, Article 2, Subsection 44012 allows for refusal of inspection due to vehicles that "cannot physically be inspected", which I assume may mean a lack of equipment on the test station's part: "The test procedures may authorize smog check stations to refuse the testing of a vehicle that would be unsafe to test, or that cannot physically be inspected, as specified by the department by regulation. The refusal to test a vehicle for those reasons shall not excuse or exempt the vehicle from compliance with all applicable requirements of this chapter." https://www.bar.ca.gov/pdf/Laws_and_Regs_Manual_2014_LegReg_20140718.pdf So it seems that they're just not equipped to handle older cars. For the record, my car is fairly standard: front-engined, water-cooled, tailpipe facing straight out the back. Every other test station I've taken it to has had zero issue testing it. read more

Amazingly fast and excellent customer service. Price with Yelp coupon was $50 cheaper than well reviewed place down the street. Highly recommend! read more

Great! Super nice and good, quick service. If you need a smog test, this is the place to go. On top of it all, a fair price--this is the place to rake your business! read more

Came here with one car in front of me in line. I was done in less than 15 minutes total and got the great Yelp discount. Great personable customer service as well! He took the time to advise I renew my registration as soon as possible to avoid late fees. Thank you! read more

Mohammed is a truly amazing human being! I actually want to come back and have coffee with him! He was unbelievably warm, thoughtful and kind. I was very frustrated because my Honda wouldn't pass because of the Catalyst converter not passing over and over. He offered to help me in his off time and instructed me on how to drive for certain speeds and mileage. I actually ended up passing right after, I can't believe it. Highly highly recommend read more

Super fast, friendly, cost effective and efficient! I called this morning to make an appointment, but was told that an appointment wouldn't be necessary. I waited about 30 seconds for the car in front of me to back out, and began my smog check service almost immediately. I stepped out of the car and was told it would take about 10 minutes, but the whole process was finished in 8 minutes or less. Remember to show the coupon from the website! I only paid $38 for the test and the certificate, and they send my test results to the DMV immediately. Highly recommend! Will definitely be going back next year. read more

I stopped back in for my required smog check on my 1992 car, and as usual, Mohamed's service was fast and friendly. The smog check was completed as promised in about 25 minutes. Use the Yelp coupon for a discount, and have your smog check done promptly here! I've never had a better experience getting a smog check done... read more

Very fast smog check, also close to the berkeley bowl so you can drop by while you wait. He honored the discounted price without question, which was awesome. Great service, nice guy. read more

In and out in 15 minutes on a Saturday morning for my smog check. The technician was nice and very clear about the process. Couldn't have been quicker or easier! read more

Fantastic efficient service! I have tried several different smog check services throughout Berkeley. And I was quite impressed by the friendly welcoming service. No need to bait me some chocolate treats for an online review. If you are looking for expedient and no drama service, come here! read more

It was definitely a win coming here. I came on a Saturday afternoon with the coupon available online. My smog check was completed within minutes, very fast and efficient, and the price is right - $24.95 plus $8.25 cert. Thank you! read more

I did a Google search for smog stations in my area and Berkeley Green Smog Check was one of three stations I called. This station had the best price, beating others by over $10.00, and just as important, the gentleman who answered the phone was very nice and informative. Actually, I live in El Cerrito, so really it was the way the gentleman came across over the phone that motivated me to head out to Berkeley, and not the $10.00 savings. This is the BEST SMOG STATION I have ever used! The Gentleman over the phone turned out to be the technician to test my car. I told him I was required to do a smog check because of an ownership transfer (I bought the car from a friend). He asked me if I had any DMV paperwork, which I did and showed him. He immediately noticed a mistake on the paperwork but said he thought he could still smog the car, and sure enough it work!!! Afterward, when I went to the DMV to finalize the transfer, the DMV worker even noticed the error and commented that "your smog place really knew what they were doing, most companies would have sent you back to us to fix the error. If you need a smog check, this is your place! read more

Incredibly nice attendant who I believe was named Mohammed that performed the check. I can't underscore how nice and polite he was. Highly recommend to any and all. read more

I happened to be working in Berkeley today, remembered my registration expires and this was one of the best reviewed spots. Mohammed was very speedy and courteous. In and out in about 10 minutes, I waited in a cool shady area and paid a very low price (thanks to the yelp coupon). As I departed, reminded me to vote for Bernie as he pointed to his button. He knows what's up. read more

The reviews are true! I chose this place because the reviews on here were so good, and it was totally the right decision. Came one day after work, and was in and out in less than 15 minutes. The prices and service are great. 5 stars well deserved. :) read more

Efficient and inexpensive smog check! Mohammed the tech is a friendly guy and more than willing to chat if you're not in a rush, and the discounted price is legit. Be out in 10 or so minutes for ~$33 and change. Only quibble was that the shop wasn't open at 9am as listed; seems to be dependent on when he drives in, which was around 9:30 the one morning I stopped on by. Still at this price, can't really complain. :) read more

This place is AWESOME! Came in 30 min before close on a Saturday and he had me in and out in less than 10 minutes. Super friendly service too, highly recommend them. read more

Great customer service and very quick service. I was literally in and out in less than 10 minutes. Would definitely come back here again. Also, make sure you show them the coupon on their website to save some money :) read more

Came in for a quick smog check. The gentleman who helped me was super nice and it was very fast. Under 10 minutes I think. I had my dog with me and they had a bowl of water for pups and seats in the shade. Great, easy experience getting my smog check done! read more

Mohamed was incredible! He reattached a air filter hose that had came off for free and didn't fail me as well as gave me advice on the DMV (I had a goofy charge). He was super helpful and nice. And it was fast and cheap! read more

Decent place, good price. Came in early in the morning no wait for in and out in less than 15 minutes. Would have liked the option to offer a free retest but I know my car always passes. read more

I arrived around 11:45 with two people ahead of me and was on my way home by 12:15. Mohammed was super nice, I mentioned the coupon on Yelp and he dropped the price to $24.95, no need to print like some places. Came out to $33 something in the end. Great place. read more

Really great and fast service. There was an issue with the connection on our car to the meter and the person performing the smog check tried to get it working many times and finally was able to finagle the wire to get the computer to read it. The person performing the smog test was very nice and friendly and I would definitely recommend their service. read more

Came here to get my STAR smog test on a Saturday afternoon after seeing fellow Yelp reviews. There were no lines at all when I came and the staff on duty was quick to get started on my car. In just about 10 minutes, he was done and wrote me the certificate. Overall friendly service, very efficient and fair prices, especially with the online coupon. Just remember to bring your DMV notice and show them the coupon before any services are performed for a hassle free experience. read more

I showed up in the morning around 9 without an appointment, he tested my car in less than 15 minutes and at a great price! Highly recommend.

Really nice guy. Came in and he got started right away took about 20 minutes and got a great deal if you mention yelp with tax included, came out to $33.20. This is the place to go if you want a quick and easy smog check done! read more

Super quick, no line at noon in a Saturday. Got the Yelp discount (it's $49.95 without). After the certification fees and tax, came to $33.20. In and out in 10 minutes. Friendly and professional, happy to live close to these guys. read more

I had a very good experience here from my first call through driving away. Mohamed was extremely helpful and warm. Quick efficient service while I waited. And, when I didn't pass the test (not a big surprise as my car is very old and I knew might be in some trouble) he gave me good info and websites for the vehicle retirement and vehicle repair assistance programs through the bureau of auto repair, and made sure I understood the timing I needed to follow not to lose my opportunity. I didn't even know about one of those programs to help low income people get smog related repairs, and the other program I couldn't get good info on before from the DMV. Thanks Mohamed! read more

Got my smog check done quickly and passed . From start to finish not more then 10 minutes. Very nice guy that did the test. I hesitated to give 5 stars only because it was a little more then I thought it would be even mentioning the Yelp discount. I guess I paid additionally for a certificate. He said DMV would electronically be notified but to be safe since I was going in person tomorrow I should have it. You just know if I didnt it wouldnt of registered. Iwould go back again as it was so quick and easy. read more

Super fast and convenient. They did my car and another while I was there and a third car pulled up. I was in an out in 15 min., really. I doubted the reviews that said it was that fast, but it was. They honored the price shown here without any problem. No fuss no muss. I even got it done on my lunch break. What a relief. read more

These guys are so fast, easy, and cheap (with coupon) what more could you ask for. We'll they are located in the same place as a gas station with some of the cheapest gas in Berkeley...awesome! read more

Really quick and polite service, which was great considering how cold it was outside while I waited. He said 10 minutes but it was really closer to 5 and I was on my way. Make sure to mention the $24.95 Yelp deal, it saves you about $20 on your smog check. Will be coming back here as long as I'm in the area. read more

I was worried. I haven't had to do a smog check in many years. It was one more thing and I had to do it today, Sunday, Easter Sunday. They were open, friendly, helped me right away and before I could check twitter they were done. With a coupon, it didn't cost much either. And now my annual registration is done also. Brilliant. read more
