Best smog shop in town. We have taken 9 vehicles here over the years and even the older carbureted ones get taken care of even though they need some extra help. Quiet spot and very friendly people always.

Efficient and friendly. Spoke with them yesterday to get a quote. When I pulled up, he had the the paperwork ready for me with the quote we discussed.When I opened my door he noticed I was pregnant and instead of having to gather my things and wait outside of the car, he let me stay in. As a pregnant person, that consideration goes a long way.Great service. I will be back!Service: Smog certification

Very friendly and fast service! Found them a couple of years ago when I needed to get my wife's Prius smogged. Hit them up again this year for the same car. Great local neighborhood location as well!

Had no wait on a Saturday morning around 9 am. I was greeted by a great smile and friendly employee (or manager). Parked my car at the smog station and was greeted by another friendly employee. The whole vibe there was very chill and relaxed - nice-looking basketball hoop and benches. Even though the place was so relaxed, the service was very professional and quick. Everything was clean. By the time I grabbed my sunglasses, phone and wallet I only had about 5 minutes to wait.Bonus: you can also pay registration fees and get the sticker for your license plate. That saves all the trouble of having to deal with the DMV.

I was looking for a local business to fit my needs. Needed tags and smog for my Porsche and Jimmy and the crew were able to get all of this completed in less than 30 min! It was really in 15 minutes but I was looking for my current certificate. Would decently recommend. Great customer service and great prices!

Excellent service. Fast efficient polite and professional service. They were open on Labor Day which was great. I had no wait and owner directed me to the service bay upon my arrival. Waited a short time and then my car was done. Easiest overall I've experienced for a handling your CA Smog Test. Highly recommend.

I've been coming here for the last 9 years for my Smog Test needs. It's always quick and pleasant. Jimmy is so good at what he does. I feel compelled to write a review after my most recent trip. I needed to get an out of state car registered, and even though I knew I had to go to the DMV, I still had a lot of questions, and Jimmy helped me understand the process and made me feel confident about my next steps. I'm so lucky to have this business as part of my community.Services: Change of ownership, Emissions testing

Quick and easy, pleasant folks to deal with, and the place is kept very clean.I thought $60 was a little steep, but it's been a while since I've had to get a car smogged.$10-15 cheaper would have gotten you a 5th star.

Very friendly. Went in for smog check. Failed battery recently installed. He told me how to fix it (driving) and got a quote new brake pads - reasonable, didn't try to oversell sell me more than I need. Pleasant surprise!

This place is wonderful. They were incredibly kind and considerate since I had two kids with me, one of whom was crying, and they finished snogging my car and got me out the door in record time. I'll be coming back here for all my future tests.

Their smog price is reasonable, but their knowledge and authenticity is questionable. I visited this place last year and service was excellent. I passed with no problem whatsoever. This time around, my car supposedly failed claiming my catalytic converter is after market. 1 ) The gentleman claimed this without even looking at it. And 2.) It had passed 3 smog checks prior to this one, with no mechanical work done to it . One of the times being at the same exact place the time before. I would not recommend going to this place anymore.

My regular mechanic was closed Thanksgiving weekend, and I was overdue for a required smog check. I found this location, and the shop was already open by the time I arrived (they normally open at 8:30am on Saturdays). The man was courteous, and quick. My car passed, and my bill came to $40.00, including the certificate. This place only does smog checks. They don't do repairs or any other work on vehicles.
