Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI tried this place because it's the cheapest smog check I could find in the Berkeley area. I booked an appointment online the night before, arrived 10 minutes early and was out within 20 minutes!
Excellent, fast, friendly service!

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV Registrationas much as i hate paying someone $40 to do a smog check on a diesel (it's a visual inspection only), I hate giving someone MORE money to do the same thing.
I was in and out in about 25 minutes (3 cars ahead of me), and paid the lowest amount in the east bay. no complaints here.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI needed to find a Star smog center and stumbled about Berkeley Smog Test Only Center on Yelp. It looked cheap, close to work, and had online appointments. I made a same day appointment, and ended up being in and out in probably 10 minutes. The guy was super quick, friendly, and left chocolate in my car. I paid $58 overall.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI was really dreading getting our two motor vehicles smogged as most places seemed sketchy, but this place is allright. Jesse is a nice guy, and that makes the experience a pleasure. Plus the internet/Oceanworks discount is a big help. Plus chocolate and you got 5 stars
Matthew G.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI just had a great experiance at this place. I Pulled up, there was no wait. Jesse took care of me and had me in and out in about 15 minutes.
So easy !!

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationIf I could give you 10Stars I would. This place is Awesome. I made an appointment online which was super easy. I made it early expecting to be there for 30mins like the last smog testing center I went to.... NO this was 10min max. I don't remember my smog testers name but he was awesome! Really nice and welcoming I left satisfied without even knowing he left candy in the car. Bonus... how does that not make your day better??
Laura B.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI went to Berkeley Smog Test Only on February 26th without an appointment and Jessie was able to fit me in no problem. He was very nice and he got me in and out quickly even though there were six cars in front of me. He was so nice and happy he was literally whistling while he worked. When he was finished with my car, which passed (phew) he left a chocolate on a napkin in my car. I have never had a better customer service experience in my life.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationFast, friendly, cheap, and easy. What else could I ask for?
Dropping off takes a couple minutes to fill out paperwork.
The test itself takes about 15 minutes once they get your car on the rollers.
You can visit the Berkeley East Bay Humane Society (across the street) for some puppy love while you wait , or you can get old-school Mexican at Juans (across the street), or a mighty decent sandwich, coffee, and a pastry at Westside Bakery Cafe (1 block north).
Check-in with the Yelp app for a $40 smog test (plus 8.25 for the certificate).
Get a free re-test within 30 days if you don't pass. (but don't worry, I'm sure you'll pass).
Matt R.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationHIGHLY RECOMMEND! New to California and the Berkeley area, so had to get the smog test to register my Vette today (which i'm very protective of btw), . Hard to find a good, honest tech, especially when you don't know the area. Found it here! Great service and Price. Nice work!
And I'll be back next week with the Honda.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationJessie at Smog Test Only Center was SO nice. I am not a car girl, and often feel as though I'm being swindled (since I know almost nothing about cars).NOT HERE! :) Jessie made me feel great about my smog test and was very professional. Thanks!!!!

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationA great price and great service. Took less than 15 minutes to get everything done for my out-of-state vehicle. Scheduled an appointment online. Got a chocolate and napkin. What more could you ask for?

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV Registrationincredibly friendly and humorous staff! i was 5-10 minutes early for my appointment and they were able to start right away and get me out minutes after the time my appointment was actually scheduled for. as if i wasn't already pleased on the service, i returned to my car to find a fancy chocolate on the arm rest. sold!

bob h.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI LOVE this place. I loved my old place too, but they didn't have the new STAR certification that came into effect with the new laws on Jan 1. So I found my way here.
Jesse really, really is the nicest, friendliest, fastest, most accommodating, greatest person in the world. I brought my '93 Volvo 240 in last Friday, and.... it failed the emissions test.
This of course is not good news to hear, but Jesse delivered it in the nicest, best way possible. Really, not very many people can do that. He explained that I could come back for a free re-test within 30 days. I still got the Ghirardelli chocolate and the cute napkin on my dash anyway, which I had been looking forward to. Such a nice touch!
I had the re-test today; once again, service was super-fast and super-friendly. And when my Volvo passed this time, Jesse was as happy as I was. I even got another chocolate.
I also appreciate the way he's arranged both an indoor and outdoor waiting area and stacks of good magazines, though you hardly need them, you are in and out so fast. Extremely pleasant and comfortable. Good bathrooms round the corner too.
Great service, Great prices, GREAT technician in Jesse!
Jeffrey F.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationWas very happy with the service here. Guy who did the check was very cool. I just sat on one of there chairs and used the free wifi for the 15 minutes it took to do the inspection.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI needed someone in a hurry and they got the call. Their response was great. With no appointment, I was able to come in, get my vehicle smog tested, and be on my way with no hassle. The smog test technician Jessie was courteous, knowledgeable, and very informative. Great work and at a good price. I will be using them again. Thank you, Berkeley Smog Test Only Center.

Rene T.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationThis was my 3rd great experience here! On-line appointments, quick and friendly service, good price! (And the square of Ghirardelli chocolate on the console is an inspired touch -- something new since the last time I was there.)
Nica P.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationWhen I visited on a Saturday there was no wait. A quick form to fill out and straight into the test. Jessie tested my car and he was very nice and attentive even though he was testing another car at the same time. Test was very quick and I even got a chocolate after the test was over.
Will definitely be using this testing center again. They are a STAR center if you need that for you older car. We also have used this center for our larger Chevy flat bed truck will equally great service.
Friendly and fast - all you really need in a smog center.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationJessie is awesome. Fast, efficient, super nice and was able to fit me in within half an hour when I just dropped in despite the number of cars in line for a smog test. I go to his Smog test center every year and I am ALWAYS happy with their service and friendliness and easy of getting in and out super fast.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI have never been so thankful for Yelp reviews in my life. That's how I found this place. Everybody in the East Bay should be patronizing this business, validating incredible attitude and service. I will continue to tell everyone I know there is none better. Celebrate humanity here !!!

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationAwesome shop. Jesse is a one man show, at least he was today, and even though he was very busy, he was extremely polite, helpful, and efficient. I went in with no appointment, had two cars ahead of me, and was out of there within 35/40 minutes. I will be referring all my friends to this place. Great job.

Ken W.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationIt's been over five years since my last smog check. After looking on yelp, I decided to try this place out. After a quick call, I made an online reservation. I got there and the person ahead of me was just finishing their test. Sam, the technician, greeted me and told me it would just be a few minutes. The whole process only took around 25 minutes and Sam had my results over to the DMV before I paid. The entire process was fast and painless. I definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs to get their car tested and doesn't want to wait a long time.

Andrew S.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationReally friendly/fast service for a reasonable price. I went on a weekend (which I assume is busier than weekdays) and it only took 30 mins total to get my test done. There were a couple of people in front of me and if I were to go again, I'd probably use the online schedule in order to make an appointment. The dude was really nice and helped manage expectations about wait time. All in all, I would come back and recommend to all.

EasyReview of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV Registration5-star rating based purely on how simple it was and the fact that I passed. Can't compare to others since I didn't look anywhere else. Berkeley Smog is right around the corner from my mechanic (Oceanworks) and they referred me 2 years ago, so I came back this year, when I had to go to a STAR certified facility. Process was totally easy: made an appointment online, showed up, caught some winter sun in the parking lot while reading a book, paid and left.

Excellent!Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationFriendly, fast, with no hidden fees. I'd taken my car to a test/repair station before coming to Berkeley Smog, and the test/repair station told me that my car had failed because the timing was off. They offered to fix it for $200. The folks at Berkeley Smog told me that the timing on my car isn't even adjustable, and my car passed their test in flying colors. Moral: avoid test/repair stations.

ExcellentReview of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI've been coming here for several years because they know what they're doing AND they're friendly. I booked online because you get a $10 discount. On the day of my appointment, there was one car getting smogged with another waiting. When he saw me, the attendant asked if I had an appointment and I said yes. He actually told the other guy waiting that I was next since I had an appointment and he didn't! I was very impressed.

Smog Test DayReview of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI've been going since 2005. I find the service excellent and pleasant. This year the technician even took the time to help a customer who had accidentally dropped her key into the gutter! They successfully retrieved it.

Swell and EasyReview of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI visited Berkeley Smog for the first time two years ago and was very pleased with the service and friendliness back then. It continues to be a swell place to go for a rather chore-ish task. I made my appointment online. I checked pricing across outfits and Berkeley Smog comes out on top. Great place, wonderful guys. Highly recommended.

Review for Berekeley Smog CenterReview of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI made an appt online through their efficient an easy process. Got there at my appt time, he took my car immediately and I was gone within 20 minutes of arrival. He was very friendly, everything was as represented online and price is lower that most competitors. I wish all services/businesses were as seamless and as satisfying!

Great Timely ServiceReview of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI scheduled an appointment for 9am. I showed up at 9am and he started on my car right away. The smog check was done in 15 minutes. They were friendly, timely and a fair price. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Very Satisfied with the ServiceReview of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI made an appointment using the Internet for the smog check. I took advantage of the Saturday Special $45.00 price. The store has a clean and tidy waiting room with various magazines available as well as Internet access. The technician, Daniel Hord, was very courteous and efficient. The smog check was completed within 20 minutes of my arrival. I highly recommend this shop if you need to have a smog check.

Great ServiceReview of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationEasy to book online. They were ready for me as I pulled in. Took about 10 minutes total. Electronically sent the results to the DMV. $55 online booking price. Very professional and friendly.

A solid five stars.Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationBooked online, at the advertised price of $55, in about 5 seconds. When I pulled up, someone was already walking toward me. The whole experience was very professional, very friendly. I flipped through one magazine in the waiting area, then my car was ready and the results were already at the DMV. Next time, I'll head straight here, no more looking around. Couldn't get any better.

Great and Quick Service Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationThe employee conducting the smog check was very nice and accommodating, and the
check took all of 15 minutes. Not only do they do good, quick work at a very
fair price, but they left a little thank you chocolate in my car--I'm won over!

All steps were great Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI was referred to the Berk Smog TOCI about 8 years ago when my full service auto
shop stopped providing smog checks. I have always been fully satisfied. By
scheduling on the internet I saved @ $20. I gave the tester a small tip.

Smoothest, easiest SMOG service ever.Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationThis unsuspecting place was great, quick, easy, and so economical! We made a
very easy online appointment the night before. The guy that serviced the car was
great and in 25 minutes we had a smogged car. So easy- thanks Berkeley Smog Test
Only Center!

Friendly, Fast and Chocolate Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationThank you Berkeley Smog. It was an easy experience, comfy chairs to sit in the
sun to wait, a chocolate waiting for me in my car when done. And the man helping
me was very nice and efficient.

Great Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationService was great. Fast and painless. in the past when getting my car smogged at
other shops i had to wait for long periods. but because I was able to make an
appointment online I was able to get in and out. the chocolate was a nice touch

Great Experience! Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationMade appointment online, rec'd reminder via email, was in and out inside 15
minutes. Great service!
Stephen M.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationTotally painless smog experience. Jesse was the tech on duty and he did a great job quickly testing my vehicle and getting me back on the road. He left a little Ghirardelli chocolate on the dash to boot! Price was very reasonable compared with alternatives, I was able to book online the night before (all booking online means is that when you show up, if there's a line you're put at the front of it but still not bad).

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationThe government is all up in my tailpipe where it doesn't belong--it was time for a smog test, which I hate. It's expensive, you wait around for no reason, the guy's a jerk, you fry outside in the sun, and you leave hungry. If only there was a smog test center that solved all those problems...
Boom! Berkeley Smog: 1) Discount online for booking an appointment. Cheapest in the entire area (compared to the two other places I called). 2) Book an appointment time online. No wait. 3) Friendly dude 4) Wait in a seating area in the shade 5) Caramel Ghiradelli chocolate square attacks your hunger.
If there's a better way to get the government out of your tailpipe, I don't know it.
Stephanie T.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationVery good price, no hassles, very quick service. I am definitely going to get my car smogged here again and I highly recommend them.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationFast, cost efficient and excellent service. Very friendly as well. I would continue to use them for smog tests.
Mary K.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationVery friendly, very efficient and very reasonably priced. Also very busy--at least the day that I went. A lot of work for one guy to handle, but he did it without losing his pleasant manner and it was worth the wait. He did his best to meet my on-line appointment time which I appreciated.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationFast and cheap! What else do you want from a smog check?

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationFriendly, fast and painless. Will come back here.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationJust like they said - Online Appointments, Super Friendly, Coupon for 10% off local Mexican Restaurant (Juan's) at a Great Price...AND a Ghirardelli Caramel Chocolate!!!? Yep.
Now that's what I call "Value Added." I almost hate to review them so well, knowing it will be slammed in no time.
Jessie was efficient, aware, very friendly and I'd try to hire him away if my conscience would allow it. Pay this guy well, or risk losing him...seriously.
Sachi G.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationAffordable, fast service and super friendly. Two cars were ahead of me when I showed up and I was still in and out of there in about 20 minutes. The chocolate waiting for me in my car afterward was also a nice touch ;) Will definitely return in the future.
Polly N.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationFriendly and efficient - what more do you need? If you have time to kill (and that's unlikely as Jesse is *really* fast) the Berkeley Bowl is just two blocks away.
Kay I.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationJust went there to get my 2001 Nissan Frontier smogged. Made an appointment the day before using their on-line appointment calendar which was really easy. The guy took my trruck right away and 20 minutes later, I was driving away with a piece of Ghiradelli caramel chocolate left on my seat. It just could not get any easier -- try them!
Rena J.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationYou get like $20 off for checking-in on Yelp or you can find a coupon online. They're friendly and fast. I've never had to wait and they have enough space to test 2 cars at once.
They also leave you a chocolate on the console. yay. ^_^
Jessica S.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationSuper easy, fast and friendly. I booked my appointment online and was charged 48.00 for my smog check - Jesse was quick and very professional - I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Highly recommended!

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationThis place is absolutely awesome!
Just went back here again with my second vehicle, and I can't say enough good things about the staff. I called up to see if they could take my vehicle (it's an '84 VW Vanogan), and they said it would be no problem. I was nervous about it passing due to it being an older vehicle, so the guy recommended I drive it around for 20 minutes before bringing it in. I scheduled an appointment (they have this awesome online scheduling system now) so I would not have to wait upon arrival and let the engine cool too much.
When I got there, nothing but friendly service. The technician got to my van right away, and I was out of there in 15 minutes. And it passed! *happy dance*
I thought this place was good the last time I went there, but now they're even better with their online scheduling service. And they are a Test-Only station, so anyone can go there. I don't know why anyone would bother going elsewhere...seriously!

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationI don't really write reviews but I wanted to confirm that this place gets 5-stars!
So easy! Made an appointment online, showed up a few minutes early, filled out paperwork and dropped off keys, went across the street at Juan's Place for lunch (with a coupon I got in the email confirmation) and came back all done. 20 minutes, tops.
Really friendly service! I didn't get the usual l'm-getting-ripped-off-at-a-car-shop-because-I'm-a-girl feeling.
Quick, friendly, and even came with a Ghirardelli chocolate square, which just happened to be my favorite kind (caramel filling).
5+++ stars! Well-deserved. I've found my go-to smog check place for all my cars in the future.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationQuick, friendly, easy. No need to say more.

Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationThe service was quick, the price was great, and the employee was very kind and friendly! What more could you want? Well, if you were thinking "a nice 'thank you' chocolate left in your car after the smog check...they do that too!
Betsy S.
Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationEasy, easy, easy.
Dropped my car off, walked to Berkeley Bowl, bought some fruit, walked back, and my car was done.
Jesse was really nice and helpful.
Everything should be so easy and pleasant.

This place was 'slap yo mama' good.Review of Berkeley Smog Test and DMV RegistrationThis place was 'slap yo mama' good. This place was so dang good... so much better than going to the government owned DMV... it almost made me a republican.
