Warm, Professional, and Transparent Service! You ever walk into an auto shop feeling unsure if you're being genuinely cared for or just upsold? We've all heard the saying, "The customer is always right," and that holds a lot of weight when deciding where to take your car. I'm so glad I chose Sunnyvale Smog Check for my smog test. Alex, the technician, was the definition of a consummate professional. Talking with him felt like chatting with a good friend. He took his time diagnosing my car to make sure everything was done correctly, leaving little room for error. At most smog check places, the atmosphere can feel rushed or even a bit cold. But not here. I never felt pressured or hurried. Alex went out of his way to make me feel welcome and was 100% transparent about the cost and process. I paid $59.99 for the smog test, and honestly, it felt like money well spent. Sure, you might find a shop offering a $10 discount on a $40 smog check, but you won't get this level of care and customer service--something that's become rare in many places after the pandemic. I'm happy to make Alex my go-to guy for smog checks from now on. Thank you, Alex and Sunnyvale Smog Check! Thank you UNC read more

I needed a smog check and I've passed by this place many times and figure I'd call to see if I needed an appointment. Nope, he said they just opened and to come on in. So I did and the gentleman who helped me was very friendly and competent, was finished with the paperwork and service within 15 minutes and that was it. I'll definitely see him again in a couple years when I do it again! read more

The smog service was quick. Done very professionally. I will be returning with all my other cars.

Worst Smog Check Experience Ever. Save yourself the headache and go ANYWHERE else. The shop worker is incompetent and just doesn't care. If I could give 0 stars, I would. This place is an absolute nightmare. I went in for a smog check for the third time because he prioritizes non Groupon customers and the wait is always so long. When he finally got to my car, he acted like he was doing me a favor. Then, as if the wait wasn't bad enough, he tried to charge me a $20 "luxury vehicle fee"--for my 13 year old Lexus sedan. When I pointed out that my car is one of the most common, non-luxury cars on the road, he said, "That's the policy." Well that was not noted anywhere when I bought my Groupon. Total scam. read more

I needed a service. I took my car to the place that said they did that service. The place did the service on my car. I am grateful the place was near my residence. I was satisfied with the cost and overall timeliness of service. read more

Khan worked on my car for a smog test and was extremely friendly and efficient with my car. Would highly recommend!

Buyer beware! I found this shop through Groupon and was so disgusted by how rude, lazy and unprofessional the man was, I didn't use my Groupon at all and went elsewhere. He tried to negotiate an extra fee, at first it was $20, then he said "okay, $10," he has no scruples and absolutely no regard for customer service. I would not trust this man to do a good job, and it's especially concerning he's responsible for getting truthful information to DMV. Fortunately, Groupon is a stand-up company, and immediately refunded my money for the poor service. This business deserves zero stars. read more

Bought a Groupon for $30, which says $20 extra for SUV. Then in the fine print it it stupidly says No SUV. I get there and they try to charge me $100 instead of $20 extra. Then I was told about this ridiculous "fine print." Thanks for wasting my time, went to Quick Smog Star - Mountain View instead where they honor their quotes, and don't try to rip people off. read more

Excellent service, highly recommend! It's a little hidden, behind the big car wash. Went without appointment on Tuesday, there was just one person being helped before me, didn't take long. Waiting area is clean, plenty of chairs, magazine, little coffee station. I printed a coupon from their website, it was honored, no issues. Service was quick. Technician had to call me over, because he found a nest under the hood, on top of engine, yuck. He cleaned it up for me and gave me some suggestions. read more

I got to this place because of good price from Groupon. Thursday, 1:45pm. Fat guy (owner?) was sleeping and wasn't happy when I woke him up. Only got to the car and said it won't pass smog check because "it has exhaust leak and I should fix it first". My car is 2005 and does drip a bit of oil which burns on hot engine with some smell. That's for more than 5 years and I never had problems with smog check. Asked guy to conduct check anyway, he refused. Moved to smog check station nearby and for $3 more passed no problem. I'm glad Groupon refunds unused $$ no questions asked. Would never go to this "bite and switch" guy again read more

Excellent service, for my ladies that hate dealing with car stuff, the technician just takes care of you. Doesn't up sell you, he's just super helpful. I sent my friends here for their smog and he was great. I appreciated the waiting area too! read more

another great experience here for smog check. Im not sure if the guy is the owner or an employee but he is incredibly knowledgable and courteous. I highly recommend this place because of him read more

Rude technician- has no decency of speaking- avoid this place- even if they give smog test for free, won't give them business.

Two words to describe the behavior of the customer service I dealt with 6/10 "extremely rude"!! No doubt at all this guy's behavior was rude. Will find another place where I will be talked to in a respectful and courteous manner. In response to the MANAGER'S feedback, TECH GUY WAS THE FIRST TO GET ANGRY AT ME for not waiting to sign the paper. [He CAN'T ASSUME everyone knows to sign paperwork especially if it's someone's 1st time to get a smog test or customer(s) might have things on their mind] He should have been more specific and informative from the get-go, told me he will give me paperwork to sign, and wait in the "waiting" room. When I first arrived at the shop, he asked for my paperwork which I gave him. I asked how long it will take. He said "15 minutes"; and there's a waiting room. Tech guy never said anything about waiting to sign a paper. I went across the street instead to a restaurant to wait because the seats in the waiting room were dirty. When I came back, tech guy was angry FIRST, lashed at me with an angry tone of voice that he was waiting and looked for me to sign paperwork. I defended myself and said I didn't know/realize I had to sign any paperwork. Tech said that there's paperwork all the time and that I should know. I told him he should've told me that. We both went back and forth but he was ANGRY FIRST!!! I don't care who collaborated with the tech guy but I am telling the TRUTH! (I know who that guy is because he went to the Tech guy as I was leaving, said something to him, and was laughing out loud). I'm not surprised he collaborated with the Tech guy--not surprised at all. I defended myself because tech guy continued to be rude and angry, he tried to give me back my keys TWICE and didn't want to do the job. I told him I came there to get my car checked and he should do it for me. Yes, that is when I became angry because he was giving back my keys twice and didn't want to do the job just because I was defending myself against his angry tone of voice & extreme rudeness. If Tech guy approached me in a nicer tone of voice, there would not have been a confrontation. It escalated when he continued his rudeness against me and tried to give me back my keys twice and didn't want to do the job. There's a lot of classes on how to approach customers when misunderstandings are made. I feel the Tech guy and collaborator needs to take these classes. I've dealt with a lot of businesses and never in my life had anyone approach me in such an angry, rude, verbally attacking behavioral manner. What I've written is the truth and nothing but the truth!!! I've decided to take my business elsewhere; and actually found one that has a lot more nicer reviews. No one has commented on any rudeness by their employees. MR. MANAGER, if you look at your reviews, there are others who have described customer service at your place as "rude". Also, I've seen other Manager's reviews from other businesses that gives the customers a suggestion to call them and NOT make negative remarks against customers. I feel you all should take classes on how to deal politely with customers. Where I'm from the United States of America, we believe in good customer service and be treated with respect especially when trying to support businesses. Suggest you, your employees, and so-called collaborator keep that in mind. read more

This place wanted additional $38 in addition to the Groupon coupon and their regular price was higher than normal. The technician/owner's attitude was the worst part, he was rude and unfriendly. Just made all kind of excuse to charge me extra. I do not recommended this place to anyone ! read more

I came in 45min before closing on a Thursday for a smog test. My experience started off with the man working greeting me by bluntly telling me to sit down. I waited for 5-10min until he called me up. He asked me for my paperwork, didn't explain much to me, and then started ringing me up for over $80. I told him I had a groupon and he said I should've told him before.. but I had no idea what he was doing to share that. He also remarked how they make no money on the groupon which I wasn't sure how to feel about because they offer the groupon by choice obviously. My car ended up passing and I didn't have any issues when I went to the dmv with the verification code. Overall the whole experience was lacking in friendly customer service. With numerous options to choose from, I wouldn't plan on returning in the future. read more

Ran in for a quick smog test, the guy Alex who works here is SO NICE. Would definitely come here again. Super convenient that it's next to a good car wash, too! read more

I went there with a Groupon. The technician and I were looking at the coupon together, and during that process by mistake I pressed redeem. This was a mistake and I asked the merchant to correct it immediately. They acted very rudely and said they cannot talk to their manager to have it corrected and that they themselves are responsible for the business. Not letting customers speak to a manager or not taking responsibility. Both red flags for a business that just doesn't care. I informed Groupon of a fraudulent charge (which they refunded me) and decided to take my business elsewhere. read more

The owners have contacted my family and gave me back fifteen dollars, honoring their original 28.95 dollar smog check coupon. I have to be honest I wasn't expecting that, but am very touched by the kind gesture. I am not changing my rating because of the fifteen dollars, but because of the fact that they reached out to me and my family seeking nothing, but to try to make things right with me, the customer. I would consider going back 2 years from now for my next smog check, just more prepared for the weather next time. I would suggest moving the "kiddie area" somewhere further away from the garage entrance. read more

Fast courteous service. Walked in and was greeted very nicely. My vehicle was tested right away. Doug was friendly. Will go here again in two years when my next smog is due. Thank you. read more

Sunnyvale Smog Test Only - Shop and my Jeep - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

My husband is usually the one who deals with all the car stuff (other than gas of course) so I was a little nervous but Alex made this a completely painless process. I had a coupon and he told me upfront what the total would be after the coupon. The whole thing took about 15 minutes I think. There was no one else there but every other chair in the waiting room is turned around so it's easy to maintain social distancing and they have a table, chairs and easel set up for kids. I'd recommend this place. read more

Tried to use the 29.75 smog test coupon but was flatly refused. Do no go if you're planning to use the coupon.

Service was fast, but the tech would not honor the Yelp price for $29.95. Kind of a pain and I just paid the full price because I didn't want to drive all around town. Frustrating because I showed him the coupon and he said no. read more

Another great job at Sunnyvale Smog. Alex got me in and out in less than 30 minutes. Used my discount coupon and I was on my way. Great courteous service as usual. I'll be back! read more

Hidden gem in South Bay area. I got my car in and out by 30 mins. Very friendly and good service one can have for a smog check... Absolutely recommended!!! read more

I brought my car here for a standard smog test. I was well attended, friendly ownership and reliable work. Very honest prices. I will go back; highly recommended! read more

Great service. Super fast. Always come here for my smog check and always happy with the service.

Shout-out to these folks. They accommodated me on a Sunday. Wait time was about 15 minutes. It makes total sense to come down to get your smog check done by qualified technicians at this place. 5 stars. read more

Really good service! The owner ran me through education on smog test, and get the job done in 20 mins read more

Alex is a super fast and friendly technician. Brought my car in on a Sunday for a smog check and it couldn't have been easier. Comfy open sir lounge for you to wait while they perform the tests. read more

We have been going here for years. Fast and friendly! Has a discount coupon on their website.

Super fast service! I came here on a Monday morning at 8.10am and was the only customer. Spoke to the mechanic, waited for 10 miniutes, paid, and was out of there. I even had time to fix the mechanic's wifi router. Definitely recommend this place if you need a quick smog test on the day of your DMV appointment... read more

Great service, great price, no nonsense. Pulled up on a Wednesday around lunchtime with a Yelp coupon. Doug had my car in and out within 15 minutes. He honored the coupon without a fuss and I was done, with the smog cert sent to the DMV automatically. Definitely the fastest smog check I've ever had, and I think it was probably the cheapest, too. read more

What a waste of time. The customer service was terrible. I was helping my 62 year old mother SMOG a 2000 VW Beetle. Not only did they take payment before letting us know that the car had failed, but when asking about a free retest, they said it would be an additional $29.95. I've never had a place charge for a retest or be so rude/disrespectful. Oh and, if your car requires a STAR TEST ONLY certificate, they charge an extra $10. I'd rather pay anyone else full price than have to go back there. read more

Sunnyvale Smog Test Only - The incredibly rude owner/technician and the receptionist. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Very friendly and professional. The waiting area is nicer than most smog test stations (still outside), but at least in a garage area with decent chairs, a nice selection of magazines, and a kids play table and a place to set your laptop and work. Prices are reasonable. read more

I went to get a smog test this week Jan 2020... I did not get the man's name, but he was efficient, kind and fast... This is my second year I went to this place since finding it... I highly recommend his service.... thank you. read more

Very painless process. Walked in on a Sunday afternoon with no appointment, and fortunately there was no line. It was quick and easy, and the price with Yelp check-in offer was good. No complaints, would go again. read more

If you have an older car make sure that you drive it around for a half an hour or so on the freeway to get it warmed up and pass the test. I have two '97 Corollas. and once I started warming them up they have never failed to test in the last 5 years even improve the test. read more

Brought my van here for a smog check. Alex was very helpful and friendly. Will be back when I need another smog check. read more

I was here today for a smog check. I thought that i needed a smog check during title transfer for my car. The technician/owner of this smog check station told me that i don't need it since the car is fairly new and also gave me a print out from his system that said the same thing. Really appreciate his efforts on keeping me informed and saved me the cost of the smog test. Also appreciate the fact that the this station is open on Sunday. read more
