My experience at Firehouse Smog was seamless. Pulled in to the retro-charming old firehouse station and was greeted with friendly and efficient service. Shout out to Damien for being especially kind and for explaining the process with such knowledge, poise, and humor. I also was pleasantly surprised that I could get my registration paperwork completed on-site as well. A one-stop-shop! Reasonable prices, fast service, and a friendly staff; what more could one hope for in a smog shop?!?! read more

Always great service here! I've been coming here for almost 20 years and never failed a check until this year. The guys were great explaining to me what I needed to do (drive the truck 4-500 miles so the computer can see the new sensors have set) once that was done I brought it back and it passed and I was on my way quickly! They always have a coupon available and if your dreading a dmv trip they can take care of registration for you too. read more

Stop by this spot for a smog, and i got to say the staff is some cool honest people. Get you in and out and on with your day in a matter of minutes. What's even better was when it was time to pay, they ask me if I had a coupon , which I didn't, but did recall seeing one advertised on their website. I brought up the coupon from my phone after going to their website and boom $15.00 off. Point being is he didn't have to ask me about a coupon or let alone let me use it knowing I initially didn't have on, Which I thought was a great sign of respect and customer appreciation. read more

I used fire house smog services a long time ago. The service was ok but thought it pricy. Nevertheless, This year i went back for another test. I was pleasantly surprised. First, On hand were professional courteous, friendly staff that made me feel at ease and in good hands. Second, there was ourtesy hot coffee to ward off winter's biting cold. A welcome sight! So, With free hot coffee in hand i settled down prepared for the usual tedious long wait i was accustomed to smog testing services. Here's my third. Before i could finish my coffee the job was done! Wow! I have found the best smog test service in town! If you need one, look no further. You'd love fire house smog. read more

If you are looking to lose your valuables in your car while your friendly salesman distracts you. This is the place for you, I lost an IPhone and cash from my center console. I reported this to the manager and he claimed this was the first time he had ever received that complaint. I have talked to others in the community only to find out this place is know for that. So I will leave the choice up to you but, know that my house was robber 2 weeks to the day I was here. The police tell me someone must have a copy of your house keys as they let them self in. Beware as I can not prove it but I am almost positive I know how this happened. read more
