Drive through the auto sales lot to the back. Hop out and go sit in the shade, Smog check done, cert provided, im out of here. Thanks Andy!

Daniel E.

Quote was the best I'd received. Comfy, shaded area to sit. No reason to go anywhere else. Seriously...it was easy as 1, 2, 3.

This is a great spot for doing all smog tests. I called in the morning to schedule an appointment at 4:20. I came in at 4:10 and was out by about 4:30. They are quick and efficient and the price is very affordable. They have a Yelp coupon as well. You just need to mention it. The waiting area is nice, some seats, a tv with a remote so you can control what you are watching. Parking is very easy too, make sure you follow the signs and park in the front where their front desk is at. I'll be bringing all my cars for smog there. Great spot!

Friendly, fast, quality service at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for? Definitely the spot to come for your smog check with zero hassle.

Quick and easy! Took me right at closing time as well. Highly recommend!

Excellent price, not busy and really quick. I compared prices with other local smog places, and with the Yelp discount, it was 10 dol under the rest. Called him, and he said he could see me right away. I was out of his place in less than 10 mins. So i took a second car the next week and the same deal. Definitely recommended. Ps. Dont expect a fancy waiting area. But who needs it when it's so short! Also, the location is behind a used car dealer, so just go in all the way to the end. read more

Chu Hai barely uttered 5 complete sentences to me the entire time. There were a couple other cars in the stalls, but somehow they got mine in right away.
