Found a Groupon deal to do smog for vehicle registration and did a walk in. Took me in and out in 10 min. Super quick and easy. I'll come and recommend again.

Found them through Groupon for a smog check. Called for an appointment and everything was smooth. I knew I had to pay extra for the DMV certificate because Groupon made that clear He was really nice and I was in and out in 15 min

Would give no stars if allowed. I had an appointment for 2:00. I called at 1:30 and told them that I can get there by 2:00, but if it could be later I'd really appreciate it. They told me as long as I was there by 2:30 I could be seen right away. Got there at 2:27 or 2:28. Another person was just checking in, I said 'that's not fair or what you told me" He told me to park, I did. When the person who was ahead of me pulled in, I pulled up to the same spot that they were in and was told that I had to park. I asked why that person could wait there and I couldn't. Dude refused me service, despite the fact that I already paid for it!!! HORRIBLE BUSINESS!!! avoid at all costs!!

Gets the job done! I got a Groupon for really cheap. Be prepared to pay an extra $15 for the DMV certificate and transfer fees if you use Groupon. Still the best deal in town!

I bought a GROUPON and he asked me extra $25 and tried to rip me off. He is extreme rude and refused to honor my GROUPON voucher. It's a scam. Don't ever go to the Berkeley star smog station at 1043 Hearst Ave, Berkeley, CA. It's a rip-off business.

Purchased a Groupon for this place. In the Groupon fine print it says they do older cars for $30 more. When I got to the place no other customers were there and they guy told me it would be $120, I needs an apt and to take it up with Groupon. This business in not ethical or honest and they are just taking your money. Do not go there.

Had a groupon, but was charged an additional $25 for certification "because it's an suv". Smog cert is only $8.25 typically. Otherwise fast ok service.

Purposely failed my car there is no engine codes log in my car. I went back to the dealership there's no log codes. The guy is using an older system I do not recommend this smog check

Like many other reviews, this place will not honor your Groupon. They will find any excuses to refuse your service as soon as you mention to them you have purchased their Groupon.

Their name is "1 Berkeley Star Smog" but they do not offer Star Smogs that the DMV requires for some cars. I bought a Groupon from them and had to call to make the appointment. When you buy the Groupon it gives you the options for what year range your car is so you can get the correct smog . The guy on the phone , most likely the owner , was rude when I asked to make an appointment for a smog. He asked if the registration paper said "star smog" or just "smog" and mine said star smog. He proceeded to say they don't do them and I need to call somewhere else. I asked him why he would call his shop a "star smog" shop if he didn't offer star smogs and he said "it's better branding " and literally hung up on me.
