Nothing lasts forever.
Smog checks used to be $29.95 (the deal lasted a good number of months), but they're now an even $50 (on 2/18, my wife was charged $41.75 for an ASM smog inspection, and $8.25 for the certificate).
2 cars were being worked on (some others were "waiting in the wings"), but my wife was helped right away (she just had a hard time getting the car in position because of some of the other cars).
The mechanics here are competent (they're not super friendly, but they're nice enough).
We were told that the smog check would only take 15 minutes, and it did.
We went to the taqueria across the street, and the car was ready when we returned about 20 minutes later (I kept stuffing my face with chips).
If you want to wait here, there's a chair to sit on.
You can also just stand around and stare at the ground. o_O
(6/8: There are 3 chairs now for people who are waiting.)

After you make a purchase, you can complete a survey for a chance to win free gas (I got free gas just by going to the taqueria).
At this time, gas is regularly around $4.01/gallon.
A few gas stations in the area charge a bit more, but a few others charge a bit less (in other words, price-wise, this gas station lies in the middle).
We continue to encounter some slow fu--- (Shit, lady, move it! We don't have all day!; What is he doing? He's just standing around! Get gas, or get out of the way!).
As I said last time, though, the station isn't to blame for this.
My wife goes here at least once a week.
That's not going to change.
For the most part, this is a solid gas station.
