This place is great, Kevin is a very nice guy and the service is fast! I was in and out in 15 minutes for $40 flat. I forgot my smog Renewal paperwork and he took care of it for me, and transferred all of the necessary info to the DMV. I will be coming back for sure! read more

Awesome service. Got me in right away (I hadn't noticed that my dmv registration said to do a smog so I was panicking a bit). Took less than 20 minutes and was the least expensive place that I contacted. The guy who helped me (Kevin) was very friendly and professional and was very patient when I called to have him navigate me to the location (it is in an odd location - but once he explains it - it is much easier to find). I will recommend this to my family and friends. read more

OMG Kevin at Fast Smog is awesome. I never really write reviews but I absolutely had to. He pointed out a few hoses that were getting old and explained how it could be a way bigger problem later. I marked them and I of course was pissed that I just had my car in the Ford dealer and they never caught it. He told me to go purchase the hoses and he would put them on for me free since I was a return customer. Good God how many people do that? I paid $3.09 instead of would could have been easily $63.09! I must drive by 10 smog test shops closer to me but he's worth the rive. Go see him he is sweet, honest and so fair! read more

However, I would like to provide some feedback regarding my experience at the front desk.

He appeared very stressed and overly serious during our interaction, which made me feel somewhat uncomfortable as a customer.

I simply wanted to share my experience in the hope that customer service interactions can be more friendly and approachable in the future.
