Friendly SMOG Test Only

Quick smog check was in and out in no time. Just a bit pricey compared to others and that’s the reason I’m taking the one star away

Fast service. With one other person ahead of me, took about 30 minutes. Charged me $ 65 for the smog check. It would be worth the time to research other smog check stations for a cheaper price.

Same deal as last time. In & out in no time flat. This guy is the best.

I was in and out within 15 minutes, dude even knocked 15 $ off for me.
Professional, fast, best in San Jose.

Wow, only 5 minutes and half the price of Burlingame, CA!!! $ 45, polite, fast and easy. The perfect combination I was looking regarding a smog check.

I called to make an appointment, but they just told me to drop by. When I got there, they immediately serviced my car and completed it in about 10 minutes. Nice and quick!

I went in at 5:30 on a holiday. The guy was really nice and everything was very easy. I paid $ 45, passed my smog check, and 15 min later I was on my way! I’d definitely come back! Thanks Jimmy!

Quick. fast. done.
No line. no wait. no hassle.
I called and the honored the price they quoted me on the phone even though my car was supposed to be more expensive. i appreciated that.

Called New Year’s Day to see if they were open to get my car smogged. They weren’t open but the owner said meet me there in 1hr. I showed up 50mins later and he was already there setup and ready to get started. I was in and out in less than 20mins. Awesome experience to start the new year, definitely recommend this business.

Very bad customers service. i went there for smogs my car. Guy did right way. My car is not pass. He told me to drive 60 miles then come back. I go there back. And I wait 1 hours for retest. After me 3 people coming he take care of them fast. I ask them I coming befor them. He don’t care about that. He don’t want those people go some where else. Booz I already pay him money that’s why he don’t care about me. I never go there again.

Start to finish in 25 mins. Not a lot of chit chat but efficient. $ 45 for the smog test and thankfully didn’t require a retest.
It’s down an alley so keep your eyes peeled while on Bassett
I came right at 8:00am on a Tuesday and there was nobody here, by the time I left around 830 someone had just arrived

Went for a smog test without any appointment. They charged $ 45 and was out in 20 minutes.

Great smog test place! Tony is very friendly and will re-​test your car for free as many times as it takes to get the pass (and I should know). Also, I think they’re linked with their neighbor J-​Speed, because one of my re-​tests was done over there on their machine and it counted as a free re-​test.
I had had the ignition cylinder replaced on my car a while ago, and apparently the battery was disconnected during that change. My car’s on-​board computer uses volatile memory (I had no idea, for some reason I thought it was non-​volatile), and some statistical metric that it collects is reported back over the electronic system and used in the smog test. Let me tell you, my aging car is teaching me all kinds of things about cars and smog tests that I did not know before :/​Not sure if grateful or annoyed at my car, really. Tony was able to tell me that the emissions part was passing just fine, but the computer wasn’t reporting back the metrics needed. After driving around a bunch, it still wasn’t working, so he suggested I take it to my mechanic.
My mechanic figured out that the thermostat wasn’t registering anything, and the computer uses the engine temperature to determine that it’s warmed up enough to start taking measurements. Unsurprisingly, if it’s reporting a stone cold engine the whole time, it won’t record squat. We sort of found that out when my car popped the engine coolant cap off and sent boiling coolant everywhere in my mechanic’s shop, but that’s a story for another time… (Four B Auto’s David is amazing and very patient with exploding cars.) Thermostat was replaced, I drove around, and still no dice. Tony notes that the temperature is being reported now, but never goes above 125, and it needs to be at least 165. Hmn. Back to the mechanic with this new information, and he figures out that there’s a short in the wiring harness and fixes that. Finally, the car is reporting appropriate temperatures! After a short drive around town, I’m back at Friendly Smog Test and my car has finally passed! Hooray!
And to think, it was my car’s ability to sense the engine temperature that was holding all that up. Moral of the story: if you think it’s not related to the smog test, ask. Sometimes it is, and Tony will take the time to explain it to you. Thanks, Tony! :)

They were quick I was charged 60 $ a bit too much? didn’t have to wait but on the other hand the Asian guy kept texting and did other stuff instead of his actual job never coming here again. Not to mention he was rude.

Very friendly and careful. Only had to pay $ 45 cash and was in and out quickly.

Came here twice -‘great service each time. They’re busy but friendly.
Just stop in — no need for a reservation.

Recently moved from Nevada and had to smog my truck to be registered in California. My first attempt failed, apparently my K&N intake system was missing a sticker that California requires. Tony was my tester and he was pretty friendly and helpful. I applied for a replacement with K&N and a week later they sent me my sticker. I brought my truck back to Tony and he remembered me. He tested my truck a second time… it passed… and I was on my way in about 45 minutes. Would have been faster but I had to wait for 2 other cars before me. Tony is a great guy and I recommend not only coming to Friendly Smog but see Tony as well.

I looked around online to find a smog check shop in the Santa Clara/​Sunnyvale area, and after some research decided on Friendly SMOG Test Only. I called them up and they quoted me a price of $ 45 out the door. The shop is a little out-​of-​the-​way but not hard to find if you map it beforehand. Once I got there, the whole process took about 20 minutes with zero hassle. Recommended.

I been going to jimmy for years. Whenever I need a smog, he’s take care of me. If the cars fail smog, already tried to help, and trying to find a way to fix and make it pass. thx jimmy

I have to say Zack is great. Came in for a $ 45 as quoted smog check in less than 30 min. place is hard to find though. however I had a place to sit while they did the check, and treated me very professionally.
