Friendly service, got us in and out, overall excellent customer service, would go back 100%. Accidentally left my wallet in one of their guest chairs (first time ever btw!) and called when I noticed. They locked it up for me until I was able to get back. Super great and we will bring all our cars here and refer friends as needed. read more

Drove in on a Saturday, without an appointment, Manager (Owner?) came in from service area, greeted us immediately and professionally, asked for our DMV paperwork, and scanned my son's driver's license (it was his 2014 Mustang). Offered us a cup of coffee, told it would be a few minutes and returned from service area advising that his car had successfully passed. Manager then carefully explained that smog test results are filed with DMV electronically by him and pointed out options for submitting Registration renewal form with DMV. We were in AND OUT In about 20 minutes. To top it all off they have a $10 off coupon on line. I see no reason you should look anywhere else for your smog service here in Martinez. read more

Hirmand, the owner, was apart of and helped his father open and start the first Test Only station in CA back in the early 90's. Working out of Sacramento for so long, he learned the skills needed to do an efficient and accurate Smog test on all vehicles. He brings his experience in Smog, and couples it with his passion to create a customer friendly and memorable experience. Hirmand states "my customers are the most important key to my success. Earning there trust through honesty, integrity, and knowledge of their vehicle will ensure a bright and successful future for our business. We are here to help and serve.
