San Jose Auto Repair

Had my smog today. Searched around because I always seem to find places that are terrible. So, after checking YELP and seeing the great reviews, I found this place. Pretty close to home and they have a great $20 off coupon on their website. I was skeptical, but when I arrived, I was surely surprised. The place was clean, organized and I was greeted by a friendly man that said he will take care of everything. We left the car in the lot and he pulled it up, tested everything and then backed it out and parked it easily so I can pull right out and leave. EXCELLENT service! Clean environment and I was there for ONLY 10 MINUTES! NOW THAT'S SERVICE! I will be taking all 4 of my cars there from now on. Never knew I could have a great experience at a smog station =) Thanks!

Cute guy. In and out in 10 minutes. $20 off coupon on his website. Doesn't get much better.

Smog Man ROCKS! Waiting room was clean, had a soda vending machine plus current magazines for us women. The owner Phillip said that he's been doing this for 8 years. He's definitely learned to be very efficient - I was in and out of there in about 15 minutes. It was $58 with the $20 off coupon from smogtips.com. Maybe it's cheaper somewhere else but it's worth the quick friendly service!

Edit: Discount Smog on Berryessa in San Jose is $40 total with the $10 coupon from smogtips.com. Discount Smog has decent reviews and is $18 cheaper! Original review: There seems to be only 1 testing station but the spot was open when I got there. The tech was very nice and clear during the whole process. It took about 15 minutes for everything. With the $20 off coupon, it was $58 total like everyone has mentioned. I also got the free car wash coupon. They electronically submit the smog cert and give you a copy. I will admit that I came here solely based on reviews so I don't know if you can get a smog test done cheaper at other places.

The guy who runs the shop is friendly and quick. I showed up without an appointment on a Tuesday, and had to wait for one other car to finish, then was on my way in 25 minutes. Be sure to bring the 20$ coupon.

I have high standards when it comes to customer service and professionalism. I expect whomever I deal with to know their job and give it their very best. (This standard applies to me also) So for me to write a review on Yelp, I have to be either very impressed or very disappointed. That being said, I went to the Smog Man based on the reviews I found on Yelp and I was not disappointed. Star #1 is for how many times the phone rang before it was answered. In this day of menu trees, frustration and never dealing with a human, it was nice to have the phone answered after a couple of rings and to be able to speak to a real person. Star #2 is for professionalism. Phillip is courteous and knowledgeable both on the phone and in person. Star # 3 is for cleanliness. The shop, the waiting room, and the bathroom are immaculate. (Including his vintage car and motorcycle) Star # 4 is for delivering the goods. Even with one person ahead of me there was very little wait time. No hidden charges - using the $20 coupon, the total was $58 includidng the smog certificate. Star # 5 is for honesty. When taking off my gas cap Phillip accidently dropped it on the floor and a little piece broke off. I didn't see him drop it and I certainly would not have known until I put gas in my car. Phillip informed me of breakage, provided a new cap and asked me if I wanted to keep the broken one as a spare. Fast, efficient, knowledgeable, professional, and honest. Very hard to find nowadays. The Smog Man will be the place I refer all my family, friends and clients.

Quick, friendly, dependable service. The Smog Man gets you in and out and on with your life. If you are looking for a smog check, I recommend giving the Smog Man a try. Plus, a $20 coupon when you visit the site. Two thumbs up!

If you are a female, you should definitely come here for your smog check- InStyle Magazine, Saveur, etc. in the waiting room. I was in the midst of a good article when Philip told me the check was done. I was willing to have him run it again so I could finish reading! It was like 10 minutes, max. Never have owned a car, so this is all new to me. Not sure what others charge or how comfortable other places are, but I will not try anywhere else. Make sure to use the coupon!

I never knew getting a smog check would be so painless. I literally got there, popped in some quarters for a cherry coke, flipped through a few pages of the most recent Bon Appetite magazine and I was done! I was there less than 15 minutes! This place is pricier than most, but tbh you're paying for quality. This is not some dinky gas station that does smog and car washes. Shop is clean, staff is professional, service is good. Make sure you mention yelp for your discount!

Great service, I drove up, he came out to meet me and we filled out some paperwork and then he started the test. I was in and out of there within 10 minutes. I mentioned I had found him on Yelp and he gave me the $20 off coupon without the paper version. And the Chevelle is sweet.
