El Cerrito Test Only Center is part of an 18-year-old Bay Area chain with seven locations. This location has been serving the area for about a year. The employees are El Cerrito locals and attended high school here. The service here is straightforward. Your car is smog-tested while you wait by one of the three technicians on site. There are two spots for cars in the garage and almost never a wait. You can drop your car off and come back to pick it up later if you prefer, although there is usually no need because of the quick in-and-out service. Free wi-fi is available to use while you wait.
