San Jose Auto Repair

Hate to do this but I'm over it. Back when I did my first review it was in another location and a different guy doing the testing. Since being at their new shop I have been there maybe 6 times.. and all but one of those they were closed because of some reason or another. Out of gas, machine broken. This was on Saturdays.. I just think there are days they don't want to work and just put up a sign.. Machine broke.. I mean if it was my biz I'd be sure that was working all the time. So don't count on them being open on Saturday and not at all on Sunday. It became a joke, I'd leave the house to go get it smoged and be back in 5 min.. "closed again". Week after week after week.. Had to go to another station in the end. If you have a stock car and they are open then the rest is a breeze but have a modification or try to go on a Saturday you might want to call and check that day to make sure they are open and they can help you. Like everyone says, in and out in about 15 depending on wait. The guy knows what he's doing and he does it with surgeon like precision. As painless as it can be.

Fast! They get you in and out of there before you know it. They are nice and easy to work with, and tell you exactly what's going on. An older woman was there before me and he took the time to explain to her exactly what was wrong and why. Gave her options on where to take it and offered to help her in any way he could including talking to the service shop about what was going on with her car. Just a really great group of people.

went in at my lunch break. in and out. quick and easy. use the $20 coupon. all in all paid $58.

No wait when I arrived at 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon. Really nice guy who helped me out. Answered all the questions I had. In and out in 15 mins. Easiest and fastest experience I've had getting a smog test.

Very friendly for an auto place. Air conditioned. Good magazines. No line. Yelp checkin discount. I passed. Five staronies!

They were very efficient: I think I only wait for 10 or 15 minutes. Don't forget to Chek-In with Yelp to have a great discount!

Very Friendly, Showroom is comfortable, and everything was done in a timely manner. I showed up early and this guy helped me and explained everything. When the testing was done, he also notified my tires was low and he did the courtesy of filling them up. Above and beyond service!

No line. No wait. I spent about 15 minutes here. The process was straight forward, and the guy working the desk was very patient. It was my first California smog check, so I had all of the wrong paperwork (had to run back to my car to get the right stuff). He also walked me through what I needed to bring with me to the DMV. In order to save a few dollars, check in through the Yelp app (~$40) or get the $20 off coupon from their website (~$50).

I needed a STAR certified smog test station, and found that The Smog Man was certified and had rave reviews on Yelp. Came in on a Friday morning around 10:00 AM. There was one person ahead of me, so I took a seat in the waiting room. I waited around 10 minutes before it was my turn. The guy working was friendly and efficient. He looked over my papers, and gave me a $20 discount for checking in on Yelp. I waited another 15 minutes for him to test my car, and that was it. Easy peasy! Definitely going to be coming back for my future smog tests.

I got off work late once again and needed a smog real bad. I called The Smog Man at 5:45pm. He answered the phone. I asked him what time they close and he said 5:30pm. I asked him if he could please stay open for me a few more min because I had to get my car smoged and I was at least 15 min away. He said no problem bring it in I will be here. On the way from work I hit traffic so I called him again he said dont worry just drive safe he will be here. I was amazed at how polite and professional he is. I finally got there at 6:40 over an hour after they close. He met me at the desk he had the roll up door open and he took care of my car for me without any issues and he even gave me a discount. I can see why he has a 5 star rating I will recommend this to friends and family.
