Burlingame Smog Check

Fantastic Experience with Older Car at Burlingame Smog! This place is great, and their technician, Manny, is the best! Very highly recommended in every way, don't be put off if the phone call takes a few attempts. My old 1994 Dodge Intrepid had failed smog at a place in San Francisco. I took action to remedy the problem, ran fuel cleaner through it, changed the oil, put lower octane gas in it and replaced the spark plugs myself, making sure to gap each one very carefully. On the retest in San Francisco, the guy was continuously distracted and let my car idle for nearly an hour before doing the test. The car failed on the first low-speed test because the intake was too full of gasoline from idling too long, but it was fine on the high speed test which made me suspicious of the initial lo

Drive past often and today realized I needed a smog check. They pooped up online, so I called. I got a price quote, was seen right away, the price seemed reasonable. They were efficient, friendly and really could not ask for more. Highly recommend them. Will definitely be back.

Super quick smog check, finished in less than 10 minutes. Great service and reasonable pricing. Highly recommend, will be coming here from now on for smog checks.

Please don’t waste your time or your money at Burlingame Smog Check. I waited over 30 minutes just for a technician to arrive. Once he arrived, I waited for him to get off the phone for another 10 minutes. The lack of consideration for people’s time is what I found especially egregious and disappointing. Take your money and needs elsewhere.

This place was the first smog shop that popped up on Yelp and doesn’t clearly state their pricing. I got a coupon for $20 off their site so I gave it a chance anyways. For a 2014 Lexus is250, they had an original estimate of $88.20 and $20 off which was a total of $68.20. This is about $20 higher than other typical shops that usually charge around $40-$50 with certs. I assumed that it would’ve been $46 for smog since Yelp offers that coupon as well if you check in. Other than that, service was quick and only one person waiting. I’d suggest the shop to clearly state what they are charging and remove multiple coupons to avoid confusion. If you do this, you’ll get more business.
