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.

So glad I found Sun Smog at the new address. I can only really echo all the positive narratives that have been shared regarding this business: professional, prompt, very personable, VERY good pricing. An offer of cold bottled water is indeed a great example of the little things Mr. Phong Nguyen does to add a little class and comfort to a simple, mundane smog test for your car. He wants you to be comfortable while you wait. And though in the end the length of the test depends on the age of your car, he'll make it as predictable and painless as he can. And he does check tire pressure and true up gratis; and he does hand-remove dried leaves that may have gotten under your hood. Phong cares, and does great work. And it shows. And it's appreciated. Thanks, Phong, see you again! read more

It was run by a very nice and generous person. He offered us water and even found a recall part for my car. A very good and responsive place. Would highly recommend it. read more

Great honest guy, you can trust him with your car. Very helpful In and out with no rush read more

This is an excellent smog check center. Phong is a phenomenal guy and you could really tell he's being genuine with you. The service was very inexpensive, he did a speedy and excellent job, gave me free advice on how to better maintain my car, and pressure-checked and refilled the air in my wheels for free as well! A good man running an honest and excellent local business! read more

Don't go anywhere else. Other SMOG guys/gals will lie to your face, take your money, and waste your time. Here they really make sure that you have a good experience and get things taken care of while you wait. I had a very unique situation, an old Econoline 300 Box Truck 88', and it was a mess. Not only was it a difficult truck to smog, but it didn't have much space to get it in and out of most smog places. Because it was a commercial truck, it needed to go to a Star Certified place. The team here was polite, knew their stuff, and took care of me for the single fee, and several visits before I cleared smog. read more

Phong is a great guy! I go to him everytime i need a smog. I highly recommend his services, fast professional and honest.

Outstanding experience. Took my car in without an appointment and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to get my smog check done. The gentleman went above and beyond - while conducting my smog check, he noticed my tire pressure was low. He put air in my tires and even found a nail in one of them. He showed me the nail and marked where it was so I could get it fixed. He was so courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend this place. read more

The owner is awesome! I lost my smog results, and he went through all his records to find it for me again. Good guy, knows what he's doing and how to run a business. Will definitely be returning. read more

Great experience! I had to get a last-minute smog test for my car and luckily found Sun Smog while I was getting some other work done on Bascom Avenue. Phong was very welcoming and professional as he offered to look up to see whether I even needed a smog check first before performing the test which was very proactive and useful. The test went quickly and painlessly and I was very impressed with his attention and communication throughout the process. He gave me some ice cold bottled water which was a great perk on a hot summer day. I would totally return to get my other cars tested when it's registration time! read more

The owner was so nice and helpful. There were issues with my smog check due to a previous service, and he was patient and helped figure it out. He also checked my tire pressure while we were waiting. read more

Courteous, quick and honest. Reasonably priced. Even a comfortable place to wait, shaded by palm trees. Every two years I get a smog check at a different garage. This year I found a place I can return to! read more

Sun Smog Test Only - Not the usual surroundings for a garage. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Jose, California

Renewing my registration on my van I needed a smog check. I did a search of smog test in my ZIP Code and Sun Smog Check highly recommended. I stop by here without calling and there was no wait owner was very professional and I was there for less than 20 minutes. My van passed! read more

OMG it's hot out, no one is here and he asked me to sit down and he put a fan on for me right in front! I was here for about 15 minutes, maybe 20. It was my first time getting a SMOG check ever and the owner was great. He gave me a bottle of water because it was so hot and put a fan out for me. He was really fast and thorough and even gave me a discount because it was my first time (I think...). I will definitely be back next year!! read more

The owner is nice, thoughtful, respectful and honorable to say the least. He inspected all around my car, pointed out a couple things to my attention. The price is fair. And he tried his very best to make me feel comfortable during my short wait time. I believe every nice people deserves some recognitions. read more

Quick, friendly service at a decent rate! Called ahead and he told me to come in 30 minutes. He was ready 5 minutes after I arrived and finished the test in a few minutes while I waited. Not the cheapest ($42 was the going rate), but the service and speed was worth it. Cleaned up some leaves under the hood, filled my tire pressure, and informed me my coolant was a little low. All above and beyond tasks for a 'smog only' service! read more

Disclaimer: My wife was the actual customer, but she came home so pleased with the service that while I was already on Yelp writing other reviews, she asked me to post this one for her (the details are all hers). Phon (technician) was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. In addition to the smog check, he took the extra step to clean out all the leaves that had accumulated under the hood. He also checked the pressure in the tires and pointed out that the battery terminals were full of corrosion and recommended how to fix it. When it came time to leave, he took the time to move the car around so that my wife could drive straight out, instead of having to back out. There was no wait and the service was completed promptly. Smog Test - $49.95 Certificate - $8.25 The shop is a little hard to see, set back behind the road. Look for the little yellow building. read more

Very satisfied! I paid $55 for a smog check. The smog check portion took ~15 minutes, but the owner took some additional time to look over my car and let me know my coolant was almost running empty! He told me what to buy and where to get it, and gently chided that I could risk ruining my radiator. I'm clueless in general about cars and it may have showed on my face, since he offered to help me fill it up free of charge if I stopped by with the bottle of coolant. Also offered: Free tire pressure check Bottle of water while I waited Turning on a fan while I waited (hot summer day) I noticed after he returned my keys that he had turned my car around so that it would face the exit, thus sparing me the need to do a 3-point turn. Thanks! Five stars for the service. The owner's charming, mild mannered aspect left me with an (internal) smile. read more

This place was the best. They took me as soon as I pulled in and I was out the door with all paperwork completed for me in under fifteen min. The man who owns it is so nice! read more

I love coming here. He's so nice, helpful and fast. He really goes out of his way to make your experience nice and effortless. Thank you so much for the great service. I would recommend this place to everyone and always come here for my smog tests. Results go straight to the DMV. read more

I recently went to this location to get a smog test for an out of state purchase. I called ahead and I setup some time. The owner was very polite and accommodated me at a short notice. I didn't have to wait long. The service was very efficient and the place was well maintained. I would go back here, if any of my cars need a smog test in the future. read more

You can tell that the man who works here takes pride in his job and he has great reason. He is kind, professional, and quick. Setting up the appointment was fast and easy on the phone. After I got there, the actual work took 15 minutes only, just like what I'd read on another Yelp review (yeah, I timed it just to see). That included him cleaning the dry leaves from my hood, filling my tires, and showing me a tire that needed to be replaced (I hadn't noticed it was bald). (This is just a smog check place, so no, he wasn't trying to sell me any tires--just being a nice person.) Thank you, sir! I will definitely bring my car here every time it needs a smog check. read more

Very clean place ,good service. Highly recommended! Did not pass first time and they allowed to pass it again for free.

Fantastic service. Walked right in, only took about 10 minutes. He was very nice and offered us water and turned on the fan for us in the shop to stay cool. Will definitely return! read more

My advice: look no further. This is the place to go! Truly amazing. This guy is great. There's honestly no other way to put this other than that. All the reviews praising him are 100% accurate. I was trying to find a place to do a last min smog so I could finally get my registration sent in the mail and was constantly turned down due to being too busy ..but.. I think that was a blessing in disguise because I won't be going to any other place besides here! I gave him a call on the way and asked if he was busy and he said to go ahead and come over. I pulled over down the street (it's on a main road) and walked on over. The garage was open, he was sitting there alone and I told him I had just called on the phone about a smog. He took my keys and pulled the car in for me, and told me to take a seat inside the garage while he did his work. The process in total took about 15 min at most. He put gloves on to move my car, wore a mask, and was overall just a joy to be around. When he was finished he moved my car back out onto the street for me which I appreciate SO MUCH because it can be a busy street and I hate backing up in traffic. The rumors are also true!!! He cleaned the leaves out of my hood and checked all my tires for tire pressure. It was really the cherry on top. I will recommend this place to everyone I know. read more

Super fast service. Mr. Nguyen was extremely courteous & kind. He went out of his way to make me comfortable, and get me in & out fast. I'd highly recommend Sun Smog! 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

This is my second time coming here. I have to say, the gentleman that runs the place is such a nice geniune person. Great customer service and he works so fast. I made an appointment and was out in minutes. This will be my go-to place for smog checks. read more

I went here first thing Saturday morning without an appointment, I didn't have to wait. The test was quick and they put air in my tires free of charge. I'm very pleased and highly recommend. read more

This guy is great! Besides doing a quick job with the smog check he also helped me with some loose plastic that was hanging from the bottom of my car and also checked the tire pressure ! Very friendly and customer oriented !! read more

This guy rocks! Honest and legit! I only bring my cars here to test!

Price is reasonable and helped me out a lot when I had difficulty finding available service for star-certified smog test.

This is my second visit to this Smog station and the positive reviews are right. The gentleman did an excellent job and the job was done quickly. I am happy to recommend the place and will certainly use them again if I need a vehicle smog test. read more

Best smog check ever! The guy was really nice, it's hard to find good nice smog check person. You know that movie Vacation, part 1, with Chevy Chase in the 80's and his car needed fixing and those 2 guys that were mechanics took all his money and one of them was the Sheriff, normally when I get smog checks it's those kind of guys, scary, but at this place the guy is really super nice. I was just driving by looking for a smog check place and I happened to see him and drive in, I'm glad I found this place. Just like the Terminator, I'll be back. read more

Fast, easy, and affordable. One of the best prices I found after shopping around. I was able to walk right in and be done in 10 to 15 mins. I would recommend and will return for my next smog check. read more

This guy is solid, honest fair and very polite!! His prices are by far the best, where other smog stations are charging 3 times as much. Don't waste your time anywhere else. read more

Excellent customer service. He was so fast and so nice. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get their smog check done. read more

I have used this business before and the gentleman who runs the shop (I believe he is the owner) is very kind, thorough and conscientious. I didn't make an appointment but he was available. Good service, good pricing, good business. Highly recommend. read more

Went to Sun Auto for a SMOG test and the technician was very thorough and did an inspection checked tire pressures. Honest and fast service.
