Very honest and friendly shop. They take good care of you. They've been servicing my Toyota since I bought it years ago, my truck runs great and I have no complaints.

FINDING A RELIABLE AUTO CAR SERVICE  CAN BE A GAMBLE. I FIRST WENT TO THE SMOG SHOP A FEW YEARS AGO TO HAVE A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER INSTALLED AFTER MINE  WAS STOLEN. THE SECOND TIME I WENT TO THE SMOG SHOP WAS TO GET A SMOG INSPECTION. BOTH VISITS WERE QUICK AND PROBLEM FREE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SMOG SHOP. (I WAS ALSO IMPRESSED HOW CLEAN THE RESTROOM WAS.)

Everyone at The Smog Shop is knowledgeable and so kind. I work at a local non profit where we have a fleet of cars that get a lot of use. The Smog Shop has been fantastic in helping keep these cars running. Thank you Smog Shop!

Incredible experience. Chris and team are fantastic, efficient, honest, fairly price. I was in and out in less than an hour without an appointment. Probably the first time I haven’t felt like I was getting ripped off when getting my car fixed. Highly recommend.

I have an 86 Jaguar and these guys are the best out there. From the staff at the desk to the guys who work on the cars, extremely professional and transparent. They understand old cars and shoot straight with you. The Jag needed a lot of finesse to pass. I doubt anyone else in the city would have stayed with the 12 or more tries it took to pass it. They're the sort of place where they bring you out to the car and show you what's wrong if you want to see it. It's been years since since I've been in a shop like this.

Star smog test for my 85 Porsche 911. They were polite and respectful of my car. In and out in 40 minutes without a reservation. They made it easy to get into their shop and the brought the car around to an alley when finished. Price was $10-20 lower than competitors. Highly recommend these folks.

The Smog Shop is the best auto repair facility I have ever found. The staff shows genuine concern for my car needs. They always charge a fair price. I love this place.

A+ experience dealing with Chris and the whole Smog Shop team. Easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, no nonsense, fair prices. I would recommend scheduling with them ahead of time as the shop tends to be on the busier side, but that's normal based on the quality of their service. Had catalytic converters replaced on my car and smog check performed a week later.

Greatest Mechanics and shop on the planet! Been going to them for 20 years (since Hayes Valley) and wouldn't trust my 98 4Runner with anyone else.

Amazing, incredible, easy, friendly and life saving. Thank you for helping me.

Hands down one of the best, if not the very best repair shops in town. If you want the job done right and aren't afraid to spend some cash, go here and ask for Chris.

I got a new muffler and tail pipe for my 1994 4RUNNER today. The old muffler and tail were rusted out. Great service at this shop!

Incredible shop, I had called over 10 different shop to have my new RV 31ft to be smog, so many people made so much fun in San Francisco. It was absolutely ridiculous., Chris was absolutely a gentleman. The staff are incredible and it’s really nice to see a shop mechanic shop like this in San Francisco., they’re not just a smoke but they do a lot of mechanic work and they are at first class Mechanic shop.

Talked to Gilbert about an issue with the coolant hose assembly on my Ford Transit Connect and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, provided a fair estimate, and gave great personal advice rather than what would net the most revenue for the shop. I really appreciate his time and advice, thank you!

I’ve been dealing with Chris over 20 years; I trust him implicitly . Great guy as well as staff. Matter of fact I’m going there tomorrow. Chris is a women’s best friend 👍

Best auto shop in the city. Was referred when my mechanic retired and they are always extremely direct and professional.

Nov 08, 2023

Had a great experience here, excellent customer service especially from Sharon who gave me a detail information of what my car needed. They all have a great attitude. Kudos to them!

Quick and easy smog test spot. For $65 bucks, it took about 15 minutes which was perfect timing since you can walk to Costco a couple blocks away to grab a coffee/hotdog/pizza.

Nov 08, 2023

These guys are great!!! No questions, no BS, just do the work. Easy in easy out. Even replaced a hose at no cost. Who does that? Thanks guys. jj

Chris is the man. They do great work here.

Never disappoints. Excellent people work here.

So generous

Nov 08, 2023

The people at the smog shop are some of the friendliest and most helpful people I’ve ever dealt with in the auto industry. The owner took hours out of his own day to help my car get smogged after multiple attempts and didn’t charge me for the extra time. Really an amazing guy and I’m glad I came here. I couldn’t recommend enough.

Nov 08, 2023

Very communicative and helpful. Fair pricing and didn’t try to charge for anything I didn’t need. Went above and beyond throughout their work.
