Test Only Smog Station

Fantastic price! With a little bit of negotiations, the guy agreed to an out-​the-​door price of $ 40, including the certificate. He said it was OK if I wrote a review and included the price. He took my car immediately, and it was done in about 20 minutes. This was about 11:30 on a Friday morning. It so happens that our second car was also due for a smog check. So I drove home, had lunch and got back there after 1 and had my second car done, again without any wait. My second car is a 1998 and required a longer test. Other smog test locations wanted more money for my older car, but this place did this one for $ 40 as well. I should mention that I called around a lot of places before going to this one. I was quoted smog tests with certificates for $ 90! I was going to use a place in Alameda for $ 50 but there was a three hour wait. By the way, this place is on San Leandro Ave., the street right behind Fruitvake BART. It’s closer to High Street rather than Fruitvale.

BAD BISNESS!!! This guy charged me 98 $ for smog check when I payed only 45 $ for same truck. And he had a gut to ask for tip money. Do not go here. Go to econo lube & tune places.

Fast and friendly service when I went there… arrived early around 8am so there was no wait. The test too around 15 minutes and with my coupon from the Alameda Journal I paid 29.95 for my BMW.
The place could use a good cleaning and a nicer seating area… The couch is GROSS… looks like dogs have been using it… bleh. Gladly stood around

The lady welcomed me with a friendly smile when I got there and told me it is $ 110 for only the test plus a $ 8.25 certificate, which was quite expensive compared to other places. After I told her what I thought about the price, she started negotiating with me. I didn’t want to bargain for it and told her no. Then her attitude completely changed and said «you’re wasting my time» leaving me speechless as she turned around.

I ended paying $ 109.95 to smog my ’89 Ford Ranger. Not the cheapest place around. but $ 20 cheaper than the place next door and there was almost NO WAIT. They were done in 15 minutes.
