Angie is pretty darn great. She made me feel like a friend being cared for. We could use more people like Angie in the world.The smog test itself she does is ok I guess for a woman Just kidding!! If you want great service from a kind-hearted person come here.

Such great service. Didn t take long and felt comfortable in the space. I even took my dog and she was so kind to him. Highly recommend you come here to get your smog. Love that it s women owned and operated. Also was so glad to see she has people coming to her shop. Girl is thriving and I hope she gets even more business.

One of the best experiences I ve ever had- the owner creates a really friendly atmosphere and not only answers any questions you may have but also if there are other issues (for me I had potentially rats in my engine!) she points them out and gives some tips! Cant recommend enough

Very happy with my experience at this smog inspection station. My car is older than 1995 so not all test stations can test my car. This test station was fairly priced, easy to find, VERY clean, and a great atmosphere created by the owner! Refreshments were provided, seating either in the station for quick tests or a shared front room of the BMW shop next door for longer tests (like mine). The owner explained everything clearly, was very professional and very delightful to talk with. Will be back!

Very nice, very competent, very professional, and I think the rates were reasonable. I think this changed how good I think customer service interactions can be and now I need to reflect on the experience I provide to my customers.

First time visit this local business and I'm extremely happy with my experience. Angie was very punctual, professional, and friendly. She was able to finish my car in less than 20 minutes. I will definitely recommend this shop to my friends.

Great little spot! I called ahead to get a wait time and she said to head on over. Got helped as soon as I arrived and overall had a great experience. I will be returning in the future! The location is also great, not difficult at all to get to.

The most personable customer service I ve ever experienced. Offered me a cold beverage, got working on my car right away, asked how my day was going, and even pointed a fan in my direction to ensure I stayed cool. I am often made to feel like a nuisance at other vehicle service providers, but that was not the case here. Truly exceptional customer service and great rates. Recommending this place to all my friends and family.Service: Smog certification

Just got a smog check here and it was great experience. Super quick and easy with a comfortable little waiting section. Angie is super personable and even had a checklist of items i needed for registering my out of state vehicle.

Amazing customer service, awesome technical knowledge, fantastic to find someone with the ability (and willingness) to smog check Bertha, an old (1981) RV (no computer, carbureted). In other words, it takes time and skill to do. Couldn't pass visual inspection the first time around, but Angie explained what needed to be fixed and how to do it ourselves. Second check today, and Bertha passed with flying colors. Thank you, Angie!

I just moved to the area and needed a new local spot for my routine SMOG check, and this place was perfect. I was able to schedule an appointment online, then when I called to move it up, the person I spoke to was kind and more than flexible. When I arrived, they offered me refreshments and really bent over backwards to make sure I was comfortable while they waited to check my car. Plus, they offer a discount for first-time customers, and price is more than reasonable anyway! I ll definitely rely on this place each time I need a test. :) Very satisfied with my experience.

The owner is a super sweet young lady that really takes her business seriously. Very thorough smog inspection, good price and great service. Her tests take about 20 min and shes usually got a car or 2 before me if i just stop by. If you are on a time crunch, you can call or go to her website and make an appointment.My wife really liked the clean and homey vibe of the place.

Highly recommended, hands down! Angie was super friendly and helpful! Made a same day appointment online using the website, arrived and had the SMOG test completed in no time at all. Affordable price compared to other nearby locations. Love that it is fully owned and operated my women too, on top of being eco-friendly!! Will be sure to come back here for all future SMOG tests.Service: Smog certification

Very friendly service, and also very quick! Had a pleasant conversation as she inspected my car, and the service was great.I have had issues in the past with other smog check locations because I find it difficult to communicate with techs, but communication here was very clear!I plan to come here for all of my future smog checks if possible!Service: Smog certification

This will be my forever smog check station! I drive a 1990 Miata, which requires a bit more work to evaluate since it's pre-OBD-II and I have had bad experiences at other shops with techs not wanting to work on it due to the extra effort needed. Not so at this shop! The owner was friendly, welcoming, and really seemed excited to work with the Miata. She got started right away and got the evaluation done in no time, I barely had time to grab lunch before she was done! If you have an older car and need a friendly smog tech look no further - I will be taking every car to her and recommending this shop to everyone I know.

I had to get a smog check for the first time on my current car. My boyfriend recommended this place because of the great service he received and also because it was woman-owned. Even though it was just a smog check, as a woman when dealing with car stuff, I felt more comfortable coming here not just because the owner is female but she was also so personable, knowledgeable, and provided great service!Service: Smog certification
