Westlake Smog Check STAR Certified Station

Fast, good price and no problems. There was no wait time during early afternoon and the smog test was done within 10 mins.

Quick, convenient and well-​priced. Made an appointment and was taken care of quickly.

Friendly customer service. Wait time was about 30 mins, but once it was my turn my Car was ready in 20 mins!

I took my car for a smog check at this place. The service was horrible. I just filed a complaint with the state. Those crooks thought I was stupid and dumb. My car passed the smog with my mechanic’s smog guy. My mechanic was perplexed as to why my car did not pass the first time considering I take care of my car.

My friend recommended this place. It was pretty busy and I settled in for a long wait, thinking I’d be there for a couple of hours. 30 minutes later, I was out the door with my smog cert.

Yay, I just found my go-​to Smog Test Station from today forward! Thank you, fellow Unilocalers, for your 5-​star reviews of this test center. And the awesome tip to mention that I found their station through Unilocal… it led to a great discount! Although today was a weekday and quite busy at the station (I can’t imagine how crazy busy it must be here during the weekends!), the staff was professional and efficient… and my smog check was completed within 30 minutes and the certification electronically transmitted to the DMV.

Great service! I decided to drop off my car and do some shopping. They accommodated me and ask when I’d be back, rather than telling me when to return. When I came back my car was ready and I was out quickly. Oh I’m also glad that my car passed.

I went right when they opened and he says it’ll take 5 mins. And it really did. It was super fast and efficient. I definitely recommend this place. Paid $ 45 for my smog with Unilocal coupon which was $ 36.75 (+$ 8 for certificate).

Dont come here, gave me a Tampered Smog when i passed everything, except visual inspection because of not being able to see eo number on aftermarket air intake, that is legal

These guys are the best– quick and a great deal for a smog check. I think I was there for less than 5 minutes. The best!!!

Fast and discounted if you mention Unilocal.Close to my house. Nothing special — it’s a smog check guys, what are you expecting? They have seats to sit and wait. Only downside is it was a little awkward to navigate there through the weird residential Daly City streets, but that’s probably because I took a wrong turn.

Awesome friendly staff! Super quick too! Mention that you saw the ad on Unilocal and it comes out to be about $ 45. I was in and out in 15 minutes! If you’re in a hurry this is the best place to go!

Second time I have taken my car at this test center. This time I arrived 30 minutes after 8am and there was a line of vehicles — I didn’t beat the early worms.
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve and the service is still excellent compared to other places. They’ll have your car checked and out the door in 15 – 20 minutes time.
I’ll be back here again in a few years.

I passed!
Luckily I checked Unilocal BC tommy was gonna discount me to $ 60 only. But with the check in I passed with a $ 40 bill. Score.
Highly recommend. Quick, easy and efficient.

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGG TAAAAEEESSSTTTEEE

Very short wait, extremely quick service, great price, and (best of all) my car passed!
I’d been putting off getting my smog check since most places are only open during work hours or on Saturdays, so I know most places are swamped that day. I usually make an appointment with my local guy, but his computer was down. I took a chance on Westlake based on all the positive reviews, and was not disappointed.
They’re in Daly City, but are only about a block off the 280, so it only took about 10 minutes to get there from Glen Park. They’re first-​come, first-​serve, but when I rolled up on a Saturday around 1pm, they told me it would only be about 35 minutes, and would call when it was done. I took my dog for a walk around the neighborhood, and my phone rang about 25 minutes later! Paid my $ 45 including fees/​taxes (you have to mention you saw the coupon on their website to get that price) and was back home in under an hour. Very happy, will definitely recommend Westlake!

Like everyone else says — this place is incredibly fast.
I came here at around 10:20 — 10:30am just as another car left. The guy waved me in and said I could just park my car there. He took my smog test paper and had me quickly fill in my name and signature while he performed the smog test. 10 – 15 minutes later, it was done. He even sent the Vehicle Inspection Report to the DMV!
The next time I have to do a smog check, I will definitely be visiting this place again.
Oh yeah — Unilocal gets you a discount! So the overall estimated amount is $ 45.

My co-​worker got a coupon in the mail for a $ 39.99 smog test. It was that time of year again where the DMV is requesting me to get a Smog test. She gave me the coupon because she has a friend that does smog and she gets it for free.
Anyway, it’s first come first serve. I went on a Thursday around 4:00pm. There were a couple people in front of me. However, my wait time was longer than my smog. I waited about 10 mins and my smog passed is less than 5 mins!
I forgot my DMV paperwork at home, but they helped me without it.
The customer service was excellent! Very nice guys that work there! They took care of my car!

I chose to visit this STAR station based on Unilocal reviews. My 1^st visit was on March 9^th. Some of my monitors were not ready and needed to be reset so I had 30-​days to drive my car around SF to try and reset the monitors since Westlake already had charged me the $ 37 for the inspection.
Today, April 4^th. went to my BMW specialist first so he could test my ODB again before the trek to Daly City. My mechanic said all but 1 reading passed and a smog check should pass so I went back to Westlake. They turned me away again and I said I don’t have time to return before my 30-​days expires on April 9^th.
I went to another STAR station in the city today and my Bimmer passed with flying colors.
The other STAR station recommend that I complain to the BAR since Westlake made an easy $ 37 by just plugging in a tester in my OBD socket.
I don’t care about the $ 37. This is about customer service so don’t believe what others have said here on Unilocal on how good theses guys are.
Next step, call the BAR referee to complain on Monday morning.
What a hassle!

Come here for a quick and painless smog check.
I’ve been to Westlake Smog Check a couple times now to have a smog check done on my Scion xB and with my boyfriend for his Lexus ES. These guys are pretty quick and it literally only takes about 15 – 30 minutes depending on how busy they are. They have some seating available in the garage and a small heater for those cold Daly City days. You can sit in your car while you wait if you don’t want to sit in the garage.
Don’t forget to mention the Unilocal check-​in offer for a $ 39.95 smog check + $ 8.25 certificate fee. Your results will be sent electronically to the DMV.
