The owner is super polite and friendly. His shop is simple and clean. He always offered to turn on the heater during the cold days. He also pick up the leaves under the hood and check tires pressure. All these show how attentive he is. He remembered me from the previous time when I brought my friend for smog. The customer service itself is well worth it. He will be my go to person for smog. I am recommending my friends too. read more

We purchased an older car and when I called around to get a price to get a smog check I was told they were not comfortable doing a smog check because it was a 1977 jeep. So the previous owner told us he goes to Sun Smog so I drove by and asked them if they would smog the jeep and he said yes and he gave me his card and told me to call ahead when I was ready to come in. So a few days later I called and asked if I can come in and he said yes, so we went over there and got the jeep smog tested. He was really nice he even offered us a water. Sine it was an older vehicle it took about 30 minutes for all the test. He even made a few recommendations. This place doesn't look all fancy but the service was great. They do not accept checks, they do accept debit cards. read more

I called ahead to see if they would be open/available for me to come in for a smog the following day at 1pm and they let me know they would be available. I arrived at 1pm the next day and was greeted right away and had my car pulled in. They offered me seating while I waited. The smog was pretty quick and they even added air to my tires as well as notified me of a recall on my vehicle and printed out the info and gave me some quick advise for dealing with the dealership. Very affordable, friendly, quick, and easy experience. Definitely recommend! read more

Fast, friendly, affordable and efficient. Highly recommended. Easy to find right on bascom right after Calderon tires.

This place is just around the corner from my house, so it is convenient. But it's the service and price that keeps bring me back year after year. Phong is such a great owner, I called at 1 pm today, and made an appointment for 2 pm. He offered us water, was quick in doing the smog check, checked the tire pressure for free, backed the car out of the garage and into the street for me, and we were on our way! Five star review! read more

Got my DMV renewal in the mail with the dreaded "SMOG REQUIRED" banner..... ahh, one more thing to do... So I came to Yelp and found this extremely highly rated hole in the wall right around the corner from where I work. So I drove by on my lunch break and he took me in and ran my car right away. Offered me water and when he saw I was pacing around outside, offered to bring a chair outside for me to sit on. Very friendly and hospitable. Was also very well prepared with mask, gloves, tissue wrapped around the pen he handed me to sign papers with, hand sanitizer ... overall an excellent experience. Would definitely recommend. read more

Quality Service. Simple Smog check but went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and make sure I was informed about what was happening to my car. He also showed that I had corrosion on my battery and went and cleaned it for me. He also checked that my tire pressure was good and topped it off for the ones that needed it. AND, super speedy! Quality and speedy... cant complain! read more

This is a one car garage run by a hospitable guy with very fair prices. I spent $45 and 15 minutes to get my smog checked. The technician, who I believe also owns the place, is very friendly. As soon as I rolled up, I was offered a seat and water beside some hand sanitizer, which he welcomed me to use after signing the paperwork. The guy even cleaned out some dead leaves I shamefully left under the hood. I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants to finish their smog check with no nonsense. read more

Yes, come here! Fong is professional and nice, he greeted me with a smile! I made an appointment the night before for 9:30am, rolled right in! While preparing my car for the smog, he saw my coolant fluid was low and brought my attention to it, the cap was not closed! Instructed me what to do. He also noticed my tires were low and filled them up for me! Fong was like my car's guardian angel! read more

Awesome and friendly service! Been here twice and Phong always took care of me. Service is always professional, and this is coming from someone that used to be in the profession. Location have moved to 438 S Bascom, Ave SJ, 95128 read more

Very friendly and quick service. He removed the leaves under my hood too. Who does that now a days? Excellent customer service. Would highly recommend. read more

Very friendly, quick service and the only place I will take my vehicles. I love it! Thank you Sun Smog! !!!

I'm 54 and I e been smoking vehicles since 1985 and this by far was the best experience I've ever had. Dude is great checked my air pressure and fluids read more

Love this place and the owner. He is super sweet and he took me today at the last minute (I usually plan better) because I am a repeat customer. He's quick and reasonably priced and you will be in and out in no time flat. I will be back again next time for sure read more

Excellent customer service..Great price, Phoung was very nice and quick...15-20mins.. Side Note: Address is 438 Bascom Ave.. read more

Very friendly and helpful. The price is very reasonable because I have gone to other shops and they want to charge Over $80 for a smog test. The owner gave some tips about my car maintenance and as my smog check failed, he referred me to some resources to get help to fix my car And told me that he will redo my test for free when the issues are fixed even if it takes more than the 30 days policy. He is so humble and cares for people. read more

This business came HIGHLY recommend by 2 people, so I decided to come and get my Smog service done here. I was greeted by Phong and his friendliness and upbeat attitude made me realize I was in the right place. He was efficient, he checked my tire pressure for me on top of it all, and he made me remember what good customer service could be. It's been a long time since I've been so moved by a customer service experience that it made me write a Yelp review. Just a few tips: The address listed currently is the old address. 438 S Bascom Ave is the new location. Phong's bay is the very first one in the Cartex complex. Don't bother parking in the lot and talking to the office. Go straight to the first bay. read more

After visiting 4 other establishments only to be told my car wasn't serviceable since it's from 1994, and calling a few more places, I finally found Sun Smog! The man who works here is kind, respectful and fast which was a plus. He provided me with a bottle of water, and then informed me that it is part of the service that he also checks the pressure of my tires! The service costs ~$65 which was more than I've normally paid in the past, but not by much! I'd highly recommend this place 1) if you have a car from the 90's because most SMOG stations won't serve you now(you need a 2000 or newer car) and 2) if you want the service to get done right then and there. There's hardly a wait. read more

Second year in a row going here and always great service. He's always very nice, fast, and helpful. For Covid precautions, I always feel very safe: the garage door is open, so sitting inside in the little seating area to wait isn't at all enclosed. He wears a mask if you do. He does a quick check of other things without extra charge - caught that my windshield wipers needed replacing just in time for the rainy season. Under $50, in and out in 20-30 minutes. read more

Sun is fair and has good people skills , take it from me my fellows San Jo's. Been going to him for years...

My experience at this business was amazing!!! I drove into his business -- without an appointment -- and gave him my paper from the DMV indicating I needed a smog test from a STAR certified station. He took my keys, drove the car into position, performed the tests, gave me the paperwork, I paid a very reasonable cost, he backed my car back out into a parking spot, held the door for me and I was on my way!!! Fantastic service!!!! Highly recommend this business!!!!!!!!! read more

The owner was extremely kind and polite. He got me in and on within twenty mins. He was thoughtful and even offered to turn on the space heater for me since it was a really cold day. He smiled the entire time and his positive demeanor was much appreciated. Go see him for your next smog check, he will take the best care of you! read more

Really friendly on the phone and in person. Professional and completed my smog test quickly. Even filled my tires since the air was low! I called around and this was by far the best price and easiest to get an appointment. Plus I love to support a local business! A little tough to see from the street. It's between Calderon Tires and 438 S. Bascom. You turn right into the garage or park on Bascom a smidge past Calderon tires. Otherwise you pass it and have to make a u turn and try again. Look for the smog check sign. read more

Most pleasant and painless smog check I ever had. Got my tire pressure checked and was offered water, a fan on a hot day, and a place to sit while I waited. Price was extremely reasonable. Can't recommend this enough. Phuong was friendly, happy, and easy to work with. read more

Can't ask for better and faster service than Sun Smog. Easy to miss but it's the first garage bay after Calderon. You will know you're there when you see the friendly face. read more

Never been disappointed here, Phong always greets you with a smile and always goes above and beyond the standard smog check! One of the best businesses in the area! read more

Sun Smog Test Only - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Jose, California

The owner is so incredibly friendly! Polite, soft-spoken, and sweet. He took the time to clean up the dead leaves that collected under the hood and throw them away, which I really appreciated. He also backed up the car onto the street when he finished, so I wouldn't have to back up myself onto the busy street. Super awesome! read more

First time did a smog test and the owner was very nice! The smog test did not take long, about 15-20 minutes. He was nice to let us know we need to fill up our coolant and checked our tire pressure. I highly recommend here! read more

Second time coming to this Sun Smog Test Only place. I came back because of my first experience, which was very fast as I was the only customer at that time, surprisingly. Customer service was amazing. Greeted right away with a welcoming smile, offered a bottle of water, and as I took a seat in his small waiting area, he turned a powerful fan on facing me which made the summer heat bearable. After completing the test, he checked tire pressure, blew out dust and leaves from the engine bay, and even checked on a tire sensor and researched and made recommendations on other things. Honest and friendly service. Coming back the second time there was another car he was finishing up and more rolled in behind me. He seems busier now, but still very fast and providing the best customer service just like the first time. It isn't the prettiest little shop but his service makes it the best. Prices are not the cheapest but they are below the average around town. So great deal on that as well. OK he's done haha that was fast. read more

Quick service. Kind and polite personnel. Had to change my appointment the last minute, which was quickly and smoothly addressed. Will be coming back read more

Super efficient and courteous. Been coming here for many years even before he changed locations. Always honest and upfront. Recently I had a car that was a family hand-me-down and it didn't pass the smog. He gave me a free retest, but couldn't make it back in time after the repairs. Came back a few months later with all the repairs done and ready To pass and he gave me a discount. Highly recommended for service and honesty. Would come back here again and again. read more

Wonderful service! Very courteous, professional, and quick. Took care of moving the car in and out of the service bay.
