We met Carlos who was friendly and professional - said we've be done in about 35 minutes. We did a short walk about downtown Novato and returned to find both cars were done! E-certificate send off to the DMV and receipts ready - prices were as good or better than other providers (and without having to have a coupon). I appreciated the prompt, friendly service and will definitely recommend Carols and Hamiltons Smog without reservation.

I had a terrible experience here and wouldn't trust them with your car--especially if you drive…read moresomething performance-oriented. Before anything, I specifically asked if they could properly work on my C63 AMG. They said yes with confidence, so I trusted them to handle a simple oil change. That turned out to be a huge mistake. After the service, everything went downhill. There was oil all over my engine bay, and to make things worse, the engine was overfilled with oil. That's not a small mistake--that can seriously damage a car like mine. I went back to address the issue, and while they admitted the problem and offered to redo the oil change for free, it didn't really matter because they told me they'd follow up... and never did. No call, no update, nothing. Just completely dropped the ball. At this point, it's not just about the mistake--it's about the lack of accountability and professionalism. If you mess up someone's car, the least you can do is follow through and make it right. I wouldn't come back, and I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who actually cares about their vehicle.

Her car had low tire pressure warning sign showed up on her dashboard. So she use this opportunity to ask me to join her for the real life class room at this gas station. We saw Air/ Water but had no idea how to fill it. I walked to Ferhat and told him about this. He smiled and told us to wait then he came to help us. He explained how to use tire pressure and show us how to fill air. I told him that I could do the rest after he showed us but he helped us to finish all 4 wheels. My friend handed him a tip as we appreciated his kindness so much. He did not accept that. Ferhat , you made our day. Thank you so so much. We appreciated your kindness. Really good services.

Highly recommended and a great family owned, family friendly reasonable independent shop that will not only give great dependable service but a lot less than going into the dealership!
