Ok, still going strong with getting my SMOG check at South County SMOG for like over 11 years now!!! Talk about supporting a local business despite the owners having changed a few years back. The nice thing is that I received a $10 discount with their recent post card mailer, so a nice savings there: $10.00( discount) - $56.75 = $55.00. Just waiting for my SMOG to get completed NOTE: they are SUPER QUICK. DONE: 10 MINUTES !!!! Way to go South County SMOG keep up the great work!!! read more

Very stressful situation with getting vehicle up and running but after I came across this place nightmare was over. Great assistance from Gonzalo thanks man really appreciate the help read more

Clean location, no appt needed, fast service; Steve Newman was very polite, professional, and it took less than 15' to get the smog check done and out of the door. However be careful- they have a lunch break 12-12:30 which is not mentioned on the door or on their business card; I got there at 12:15, but I returned 20' later. No big deal, just good to know. read more

Easy breezy... Super nice guys. In-N-Out in 15 minutes. Thank you guys. I believe this was my third time to them. Can't get better service.

Beware! Brought truck in for smog and although it passed emissions they failed it because they said it didn't pass the visual inspection because they couldn't read the numbers on the catalytic converter. Rudely said, "You gotta go to the referee". At home we crawled underneath the truck and simply wiped away the road grime to EASILY see the numbers. Then we had to go through the time and expense of the state referee AND another smog at another shop which we passed with flying colors. I called the shop to ask if the owner was available and Steve immediately hung up on me before I even said why I was calling. It's a shame because the old owners were great and ran a wonderful business. Update- thank you for reaching out and for the refund. We appreciate that you took the time to rectify the situation. read more

They are always efficient and friendly. I would not go anywhere else but here for my smog test.

Great experience. The smog technician, Gonzolo, was super friendly and helpful. In and out in under 15 minutes, very affordable. Will be coming back the next time I need to get my car smogged! read more

Gonzalo, Doug, and Steve run an efficient operation doing smog checks for all vehicles. There is plenty of parking and it is easy to get into and out of. There is a coupon on the website you can use. read more

Always good service. Have been coming many years with many vehicles, older needing roller testing, modern and Diesel RV. All tested quickly, and minimal waiting when I go, generally early morning. read more

Called them up on a Friday about a 1998 GMC Jimmy and they gave me the ring around on their hours, saying they close earlier than stated etc. Brought it in on Saturday (with another personal vehicle), the gentleman working was friendly and helpful, but my Jimmy needed a road test before running the full smog. I drove around town for 60 miles and came back, he said there was one more portion not reading and I'd need to drive it more, but would have to return on Monday. I called back on Monday, because I was working and couldn't bring it in earlier, and they said they couldn't even take my vehicle there. I told him it was there Saturday, and he came up with more excuses(again). I finally brought it back today, Wednesday, and the employees told me they won't take my vehicle, even though I had the paperwork proving they already had. The employees were incredibly dishonest, gave me some BS reasoning, and after being so fed up I just left. If they had legitimate reasoning for not taking the vehicle, I would have been understanding. But trying to say your hours change, your machine can't handle it, and whatever other garbage they used just let such a sour taste in my mouth. Their job is to preform smog checks, if they don't want to do that then maybe they shouldn't be a smog center... read more

I received a notification from the DMV indicating that I needed a smog check for my Honda Pilot. Having recently done a smog check for another car, I decided to revisit the same small business. Unfortunately, when I arrived at 9:50 am on a Saturday, they were closed for the day. I turned to Yelp to find another smog check business nearby and came across South County Smog Test Center, which was about a mile away and opening in 7 minutes. Perfect timing! I headed over and was able to get my smog check done as soon as they opened at 10:00 am. The service was quick and efficient, costing $65 for my Honda Pilot. I really appreciated the convenience and prompt service. Highly recommend South County Smog Test Center for their reliability and efficiency! read more

Super fast and friendly service! I've come here for my last three smog checks and will definitely keep coming back. I'm usually in and out quickly, and the price is great. Highly recommend! read more

Honesty, in the automotive sector is not an easy quality to find. South County smog is the exception. We have multiple trucks and cars to smog at any given time over the course of the year. We keep our vehicles in good working order, and they pass the emissions test. In the event the car/truck has an issue we are given the information. We have the issue addressed and back to complete the smog test. I like shops that play it straight. This is a good smog location. read more

Came the day before Thanksgiving because I realized I still needed to get this done before the end of the month. This is the reason why I only go to this company, they are fast great with customer service and had me in and out within 20 minutes and a certificate to boot! I tell all my family to come here. read more

Great service here and friendly and welcoming to new clients. Even coming on a "busy" day where I was told there would be a wait, no more than 15-20 mins. South County Smog gives you a free retest, if your car doesn't pass smog the first time, giving you the opportunity to go take care of your car and not have to worry about paying for another test. Great service, not going anywhere else for smog checks!!! read more

Needed a smog test on my diesel. I was here 2 years ago and was happy with the service so I came back. Gonzalo was great. He told me the price upfront and I was out the door in 20 minutes. I would highly recommend this place to anyone needing a smog. read more

Wow maybe ownership changed but the guy working in the front is very rude and grumpy. Not the kind service I've had before. Abrupt and rude to everyone that has come in to his shop. Eeek! Think I'll be finding a new smog place. Ironically the office had signs saying to review them on Yelp! LOL! read more

Quick, efficient service. Gonzalo was respectful, helpful and quick to take care of me.

Quick, efficiently, friendly service. I think that's pretty good value! That's all I need from a smog test center. read more

Customer service here is terrible, I took my vehicle in for a smog after calling to make sure they had availability. From the moment I walked in the door I felt unwelcome. The elderly man at the counter had an attitude for no apparent reason. Ended up going somewhere else. I'll never return here and if I could I would give it 0 stars. read more

Brought my 1985 Lincoln here because no one else wanted to smog it. Gonzalo helped me out and was very professional! I was in and out in less than an hour! Thank you Gonzalo, I will definitely recommend this place and be coming back! read more

Great place to get your car Smog certificate. Once they start performing the tests, you will be out of there in less than 15 minutes. Gonzalo was friendly and fast. I will not be going anywhere else for my future smog tests. Value is competitive to other places as well. 10/10 read more

I Didn't have a appointment took me in great.price and time wait was good,car passed.Thank you

I was looking for an easy and reasonabaly priced place to get my smog check done in Gilroy. South county Smog Test Center was perfect. I got there when they opened and there was no waiting. I was out in just under 15 minutes. Gonzalo was efficient and explained everything I needed to know. I am glad I found this place and will be using them from now on when I need a smog test. read more

I called to see if I could make an appointment and was told they don't make appointments. Fine. I got there around 11:45, within 10-15 minutes of my call. As I'm exiting my car, a man appears at the front door quickly putting up a "closed" sign. He turns to me and blurts out "We're closed!". I say, "I just called you guys..." and again he says, "We're closed! Until 1:15!". They didn't think to mention that on the phone? And their website makes no mention of being closed at that time; it says open 8:30-5. This shop was inconvenient and unreliable, but I found a convenient and reliable STAR smog tester just a few minutes away. read more

Gonzalo, Mike and Steve are all great. Amazing customer service, quality work. Always very nice this will be the only smog place I ever go to read more
