When it's that time, I'm always in then in a flash I'm out of there. What a quick turnaround! There's someone checking in folks along with providing estimates and the other one conducting the thorough inspection. They have it down to a tee running like a well oiled machine. All in all, the staff are always super friendly at the same time professional. Looove their AWESOME customer service!! I appreciate it a lot. Thank you guys for your efficiency!!! I highly recommend this inspection station to the Yelp Community :-)

It was $58 with their special, that included the smog certificate. We made an appointment for 1:30pm the same day and ended up coming early around 12pm or so. We went to lunch next door at the Fish Shop and they were done by 12:35pm even though they had an another appointment. Johnnie at the front counter and the person who did the smog (sorry didn't get his name) but they were both great! I will definitely come here again for our next smog!

He spoke to me in laymen terms rather than mechanic terminology. It felt like a dad helping me rather than someone taking advantage of a girl who didn't know any better.

They completely slammed my hood. my hood is lifted all along the driver said, .25-1inch. Trying to talk to the manager here, Cassidy I believe his name is. Is trying to talk to a brick wall. When I took my vehicle to 2 other mechanics, they were genuinely surprised how I failed smog. I needed a CARB sticker for my intake, it was on originally but fell off, or taken off. Then they failed me for 2 v tubes being tampered with, and replaced with vacuum hoses. This was where my mechanics were dumbfounded. Made zero sense to them. Came back to the shop to try to get Cassidy to explain, and challenge the quality of this inspection. Told me to talk to the DMV, then kicked me out after I told them a BAR complaint has already been filed with their business. He could not visibly show me, what was wrong with my vehicle. Asides, I needed a CARB sticker... These guys do not know what they're talking about. Refer this shop as another one of those shady smog shops.
