You can share with them that you are not sure if the car will pass smog and they can try to do a few basic things to gauge right off the bat which we appreciated. Other places may do re-test for free if you do the initial smog check with them (but possibly higher in overall price) so keep that in mind.

The service was amazing, incredibly friendly and quick. I called in to see if they had any availability, and said to just come on by. Of course, in the 5 minutes it took for me to drive over there, a couple other customers got there first haha, but all good I really didn't mind waiting a bit. I can't remember what I paid, but I know for sure it was the best deal compared to all the other smog check businesses that I called. Both my car and my wife's car have to be smogged every couple years due to their age, so we'll definitely be back here soon. Thank you so much! Truly the best 5-Stars all around.

The fix was very fast, and I didn't even have an appointment when I brought my car in. I'm no longer going anywhere else to get my car fixed and have referred some of my friends to their business as well.

I called ahead to confirm if they could make time and we agreed on a date/time that worked. Upon arrival, the shop was jam packed with tons of cars. Feeling a bit worried that my check up would take forever, they quoted me about 1.5hrs to do the standard checks including brakes, tires, fluids, and oil change and it actually ended only taking 1 hour! Very thankful that they were able to squeeze me into their busy schedule and take care of my car efficiently with friendly service! They've won me over and I'll definitely come back again in a few months for the next service date. What's also great is there are a lot of pretty decent spots to eat and even a few nice bakeries too while you wait for your car to get serviced. Highly recommend giving them your business!
