Same-day smog checks: most drivers are out in thirty minutes
Our story
Smog Haus is a smog check and auto repair shop at 854 Ellis Street in San Francisco. We're open Monday through Friday, 7:30 to 5:30, and we keep same-day appointments open — call in the morning and there's a good chance we can take you that same day. Most of what people come to us for is simple: the smog certificate the DMV needs before you can register or renew. If you're new to California and aren't sure what the process looks like, ask. We'll walk you through it before you ever pull in. We also handle the small stuff while your car is here — a burned-out bulb, a missing piece of trim, the kind of thing other shops turn into an appointment and an invoice. Our customers rate us 4.6 stars across 33 Google reviews, and the words that come up most are fast, honest, and easy to work with.
What customers say
“Called them at 8:30am to schedule a same day appointment. Brought my car in at 9:30am and was out the door by 10:00am. Fantastic service and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Went in for a smog check and they got me in and out within about 30 minutes! Incredible service and great pricing.”
“Mike who took care of me was incredible nice. I was in and out within 20 min. When I asked him if he could repair a roof mold that was missing he had ordered it the next. When he fixed it he mentioned he saw the other day that one of my back light were burned. I even did not know that. He also fixed it right a way. Did not charge me for any labor because both were quick fixes. He just charged me for the material. Feel super save to get my car fixed there and not getting ripped off as other garages do.”
