My car failed because I changed the battery that morning not knowing it would clear out computer. The Tech old me needed to go drive it for 60 or so miles down the highway. Did that, came back, and he checked it before hooking it up to state machine. My car now passed. Super friendly tech and I was in and out quickly both times at a reasonable price! There is a coupon available online.

I made a reservation for a $29.95 smog test at Sunnyvale Auto Care, the station that hosts this smog check. Arrived on time only to find out the tech was at lunch and I was 2nd in line. Told I had used "old web site,: they had no record of my reservation. Then when they took my paperwork and saw that I required STAR certified test, the price went up to $39.95. Out the door was $48.20, probably typical for this service.Other than that, and a longer than expected wait, the test was done properly and I was on my way.
