They checked my brakes in a few minutes and told me everything is fine, just keep an eye on the rear brakes and come back in about 4 months for a re-check. No pressure, no upsell, super honest and trustworthy. I drove 45 minutes to come here because of the great reviews, and it was worth it. Highly recommend!

That dreaded 'Stop' before I could pay my annual car registration online forced me to scramble for…read morea certified smog check station and this one, at the intersection of Chicago and 3rd wasn't too far from home. Be forewarned, the basic fee has taxes and stuff that walked it up to $77 out the door, which was disclosed up front, so kudos there. I also made a reservation online but the guy took me early when I arrived, and in about 15 minutes he announced my car passed and provided the paperwork and scanned myDMV form. It's imperative that you bring that to your session. Nice guy, very friendly and professional. They offer a $32 service for expediting payment for the registration same day, but if you have a computer at home, you won't need that. All-in-all, a quick appointment, and unavoidable, but I would definitely come back if or when (probably next year). Pro tip: Fill up your tank and use a fuel injector cleaner from Autozone or O'Reilly's. Most importantly though, if your check engine light is on, you won't pass.

Pros. *There were several forms of posted literature regarding services offered, expectations of the businesss and what the customer could expect. Very good job! *Sam explained the life expectancy of a smog check per DMV regulations. *I scheduled an appointment for 11am, arrived ar 1030 am for a smog check. I arrived early and appreciated, that despite the busy customers, I was serviced by my appointment time. *I can attest that you are able to see your vehicle serviced (if you choose) through a window while you wait. *Water available to drink while you wait. *Service was efficient, quick and Sam did a great job explaining the DMV processing. *You are able to leave same day with new registration & stickers. *Excellence in quality of service to the smog. I am pleased, and currently awaiting my stickers in the mail (as I had already paid at DMV and just needed smog) Cons Restroom needed cleaning. Myself and an older woman both felt uncomfortable at the sight. In all fairness, this is a smog place, not department store. Still, she was elderly and I have disabilities. Clean facilities help us. *Pricing was not clear. On the website was a price that matched a posted paper in the office. However, on the official receipt were additional charges I was not made aware of until payment. Overall, they did a very good job. This business had a constant flow of customers and I could see why. I too, will be a returned customer for my next required smog.

They said as advertised it wouldn't be a long wait/time…read more They had me waiting for over an hour while servicing two other vehicles who showed up later than me. I guess since I'm not a regular or a friend, I was treated differently They were hung up on trying to see what other issues without running the smog. I don't know what the hold up was or if they were unfamiliar with the truck. Or if I was bothering them But after all that, they ended up failing the truck and also charging 80 dollars. Surprising since other smog shops won't charge you if you fail. The only highlight was the female technician took the time to explain the results. The others seemed sarcastic/annoyed and more interested in my truck and seeing if I'll sell rather than helping me with the situation.
