Smog N Run

Oscar was great. He got me in quickly when I found out I needed to get smog check. I am selling my car and the Los Gatos DMV informed me that required a new smog check. I looked online and found Smog N Run. Fast, courteous and a good price. Go here for your smog checks. Only 1 block from DMV!!!

Smog N Run is an efficiently run operation. Conveniently located just behind the DMV in Los Gatos.

Straight forward smog check, no BS.
No problems, in and out in less than ½ hour.

Took my car in to get smoked and this guy failed it because one of the crankcase breathers was plugged (as it was from the factory). Completely legitimate setup and it was failed. Took it to a referee and said that it was fine. $ 80 waste of time here. Maybe you have to fail a certain number of cars a year to maintain your gold shield status?

The test itself was done within 15 minutes. The location is very convenient, but the 85 $ price tag is very hefty for a simple smog check.

Well! This Place is Perfectly Located. I moved from Texas and had to take care of quite a bit of Paperwork. Didn’t know amount the SMOG report in California. I saw the video at the LAS Gatos DMV pointing to Smog N Run right next door to the DMV to get a SMOG Certificate. I gave the car to them and all it took me was a good coffee and a Donut just across the street and i was all set. This place is the best. The LADY at the reception is Amazing. She suggested the Coffee Place, and quite a few options to me while they work on my car. I was already starving with all the Yawn Inducing Paper Work and this was a refreshing break from all of it.

Would recommend to friends. I go here often (6 cars) and always receive prompt, friendly service.

I come here every other year for smog checks and the customer experience has always been top notch. Quick, helpful and no issues of any kind.
Great location as well, just across from the Los Gatos DMV.

I would rate Smog N Run at 3.5 stars. Now a smog check is really a commodity, it is the same products at all providers. So as the product is all the same it comes down to service and convenience to rate providers.
I just had two cars done here, and was happy with the results. The service was fast and kid behind the counter was courteous and friendly. The lobby resembles the waiting room at a Jersey City bail bondsman (don’t ask). But it did have a chair, TV and water, and I spent about 15 minutes there, so do I really care? I am not expecting much from a smog check. It is very close to my home, so it was very ease to drop by as I was doing other chores.
Se you in two years.

Went here in 2012 and the service was quick but not friendly and didn’t offer anything additional that would make me want to visit and support it again, which was too bad since it’s so close by. Since I was up for another smog test, I looked at Unilocal and found Los Gatos Smog, which I loved (just got back from my 30 min smog check and oil change — a business worth supporting, great svc and they went above and beyond)!

I have been going to smog and run for the past 4 years. It is conveniently located across the street from DMV. Have had nothing but good experience every time and expect nothing less.

I have gone to Smog N Run twice for my Mercedes and each time I was greeted warmly. In my recent visit, since I had not called ahead to make an appointment, I had to wait, there were two cars ahead of me. So I decided to go shopping at the neighborhood stores which was very convenient for me to walk the short distant.
I gave them my cell # to call when the car was ready. My only disappointment was the job was taken care of quickly and not enough time for me to shop!
The place is clean, the staff honest and friendly, and the service is quick. I have already recommended Smog n Run to my friends who live in the area, I know like me, they have a high expectation of the services they get.
Good job Aaron and the staff and keep our City, community clean with your wonderful smug job. Wish you a successful business.

Smog N Run offers great price and customer service. The job was done fast and on time like it was promised. Its good to mention that this place does smog on high end vehicles as well.

Trying to find a place to get your car a smog check last minute is frankly a huge pain. Add not being familiar with the area and you are in a real pickle. Drove by as well as called a few places and just got yuck vibes and various costs. So then my Unilocal research came into play.
Called Smog N Run and I was greeted by a pleasant and articulate technician. No appointments needed. I drove right over during lunch. Lucky for me, there was no one ahead of me and I was able to be taken care of right away. 20 minutes later he was done. DMV is across the street. Safeway and various eateries are down the street.
One star off for being so expensive. Even with a $ 20 coupon it was $ 65. I haven’t gotten a smog check on a car in a very long time but I’m fairly certain I didn’t pay that much. That said, I’d probably still return since the experience was so quick and painless.

Went for a smog test on 2006 SUV — the listed price at the counter said something like $ 75 but the dude at the counter said its $ 85 and after $ 20 coupon, it’s $ 65. Went to another one and got it at $ 49, duh.

My 3^rd trip to Smog-​N-​Run and as the previous experiences, they were very professional. Took in a 2000 Mustang with 236,000 miles on it. It passed but they pointed out one measurement that was borderline and gave some excellent advice on what to do in order to bring the number down and reduce the pollution my car was emitting.
This is the first shop I have been to where they were concerned about the environment and made suggestions on how I could reduce my emissions.
Mega stars to Smog-​N-​Run

I have been taking all my family’s cars to this place for many years. They are quick, polite and helpful. The fact that they are near the DMV is an extra bonus. I totally recommend this business.

This place is great because it is right next to the DMV, so you don’t have to go far if you need a smog. Not to mention both times I’ve been here there was no wait at all, so I was in-​and-​out in around 15 minutes. Nice guys that worked there too. one guy even let me know that one of my cars needs to be checked by a star-​certified place and he didn’t charge me for all the work he did. He told me they would be star-​certified by the end of April (he is now star-​certified), so I’m definitely bringing the car back here.

Aaron the smog tech was very professional and courteous; he did a great job explaining every detail on my older car before starting the smog process. This a great star station and I highly recommend them.

Helping, courteous and professional!
Diesel truck owner’s bring your rig here, especially if you have the after market performance product added!
I saw several different shops and all of them advised me a bunch of BS!!!
There is a book out from the state advising smog shops of CA approved bolt-​on after market products. The other shops I went to told/​advised me to remove this and that… a load of BS!
This guy asked me what I had, I told and showed him, he reveiwed everything in the CA guide book. All good!
But if you have big injectors. you’ll have issues!
Stop by and see this guy. Very helpful!
Send me a message if you have a question.
