Fernando, the owner, is a great guy! I've been coming here for about five years, maybe more…read more Fernando is friendly, knowledgeable, and friendly. Did I say friendly? He gets you in and out quickly, even while being friendly and conversational. It's a test only center so you can be sure he's not going to try and get you to perform unnecessary repairs. My son and I were doing some repairs on one of our vehicles, which required the battery to be disconnected. This reset the emissions readiness of the vehicle, and the onboard computer needed to evaluate the vehicle under certain driving conditions. Fernando explained what needed to be done, and my son completed the hoops and we got back in for the smog check. I definitely recommend this place!

Great service! I needed a lot done to the car. All the brakes and rotors were changed, oil was…read morechanged, and also the headlights weren't working. The headlights took an extra day since the car is a euro and the parts needed to be ordered. The place is busy and full of cars! Definitely go in early or call to see when the best time is to get your service done. I was looking at the low star reviews.... Be realistic with your expectations when bringing in your car. If you have a unique problem, chances are it's going to take longer than you would want it to take to get it fixed. Otherwise just go to the dealer to get it fixed and pay dealer rates/prices. All in all, Vinh's pretty straightforward and honest about the labor and parts. Definitely recommending the shop to all my friends!

For 1995 and older you need evap equipment... this is the only place I checked that had both. It is next to a tire shop and there are some food places neighboring - that is great for waiting and convenience. They two guys working here are very pleasant and love cars. I like that. I had a new cat put in and my truck passed with almost all zeros. If your cat is old keep it hot. Let it idle before you get it tested. Take it on the highway for 20 minutes before you come.

One thing I noticed--when I arrived right at 8:00 AM, there were already five people behind me waiting for smog inspections, so definitely come early! It's easy to see why they're so busy. I highly recommend KS Smog if you need a fast and efficient smog check. They open at 8:00 AM, which is earlier than many other smog shops in the area that don't open until 9:00 or 10:00. If you're looking for a convenient place to get your smog done before work or other errands, this is the place to go. Highly recommended! Fair price for smog too!!

I guess when your car hits 8 years, the first smog needs to happen and coincided just shy of 8 years *eye roll* I was in the area and came across Hayward Auto Care (HAC). STAR certified location which i realized (later) is overkill for my low-mileage and maintained vehicle. I was told up front the cost (was a bit surprised) and in hindsight, should've gone to a regular Smog Check location. Yes, I should've done my homework beforehand (failed) and paid more for convenience. Completed in 20mins. I would consider returning for other services. Be sure to utilize their COUPON (discount) on their Smog Service and other services located on their site! Disclaimer: There was no hard sell and/or pressure from Ken or his son who were friendly and efficient.
