Very fast smog check. It took around 20 minutes for my car to be done :) there were some people there waiting tho. The person who did my car was very nice and offered me free bottle of water while i waited for the car to be done. I got the coupon on
for $ 30 off BUT make sure you mention it BEFORE you have your car done. I did not know that but the worker was nice enough to take my coupon. I forgot to get his name but thank you very much! I will definitely recommend my friends here in the future. Great way to do business :)

Definitely go here for all your smog check needs! Jose is super friendly and got everything done really quick. Even though there was a line I got in and out in under 30 minutes. Plus, it’s only $ 40 for sedans if you mention Unilocal.Will definitely come back here for all my other cars.

Got there at 5:50; they close @ 6pm. He was kind enough to take me even though there were two ahead. Got out by 6:45pm. Competitive pricing and quick service with courteous attitude, couldn’t ask for more!

My wife and I went there this morning to smog her Jetta. The guy is a professional and he knows what he’s talking about. He’s very honest and up front. Vehicle passed and we where charged $ 50. I would highly recommend going during the week. Its located next to a gas station so it can get a bit hectic. You can find a coupon at
One tip I would give this business is get some extra help on the weekend. Hire a second person to avoid the long wait time and perhaps avoid customers from leaving.

This place was FAST and CHEAP! It was only $ 40 and they sent in all the paperwork leaving me with no additional tasks. Loved it!

The DMV required a smog from a STAR station, after calling around, I figure I’ll try this place. Definitely a *5 station and awesome customer service!!! The mechanic even brought three of his customers cold water, and let me tell you it was super hot outside. I won’t think twice of where I should go next time.

I went here 2 days ago. Great service and low price. I just mentioned the $ 30 coupon on Unilocal and still got the discount. I paid a total of $ 40.
It took about a half hour. There were a couple of people ahead of me.
He even offered chilled water bottles to the customers which was very nice of him.
There is also a television with a movie going on in case you are bored.
I am very happy to find a smog check center so close to home that offers great service and a low price. Will definitely come here again.

Time for the DMV to collect their cut. but wait! There’s more they want this time, a smog check.
Huge procrastonator checking in. *raises hand*.well normally anyway. But today wasn’t going to be one of those days. Alas, it was Sunday and most places are closed.
This place was not and Jose was kind enough to allow me to use a coupon (of which I could not find to save my life) by mentioning it.
He was friendly, efficient, and even cured my lack of water intake by offering some. Go to Jose for all your smog testing needs.

I got a discount here, pretty nice service. They even offered a nice ice cold water bottle while waiting. I went to Speedee but the wait was 3 hours, so came here instead. Smog check was done in in about 20 minutes. Totally recommend this place.

It was time to get a smog check for my car. DMV requested that I take it to a star certified station. I wasn’t sure where to take it to. I had recently moved back to the area. It’s been 17 years since I last lived here. I decided to Unilocal smog stations & came across this shop. The reviews were excellent. The owner greeted us & offered us bottled water & began the test immediately. He honored the online coupon I had with no hesitation. Capitol & Senter smog is definitely my new go to place for smog checks!

I like the fast service. I appreciate the discount they gave me even without a coupon. And to top it of, I love the customer service – Jose, the technician, offered me a bottled water twice!

Fast, friendly, no hassle service!
I came in with a $ 30 off coupon, and the guy pointed out it was for 2000 year vehicles and newer. Oops. He said he’d give me $ 25 off, so I paid $ 45 total! Sweet.
There was one car ahead of me, so I waited 10 minutes before I was up. While waiting, the technician walked over to my car and asked if I wanted a bottled water. What? No way! Very nice!
When my car was pulled up, he finished in about 15 minutes. Fast!
I was very happy with the service and price. Extra star for offering me bottled water! No checks accepted, but they take all forms of credit cards.

Good service. Bilingual in English and Spanish.
Explained the new rules for smog checks/​emissions. Fast service as well. Cash and Card ok! No personal checks…
Just a little higher than expected, but probably worth it for being open on Sundays :)

super small place, but the guy working there is polite.
I did not get a bottle of water, but he did have Frozen on. hahahaha
Be a good negotiator. His first quote for price I thought was high, the second price he gave me was very fair and since it was close by I decided to go. Really fast serious though
