Testimonials

“Driving up north on a trip and realized my tag was due. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes! Reasonably priced and quick and very courteous. I highly recommend this shop!”

Guy Spangenberg - Google Review

“Went there in the morning before heading to DMV, they did such a great job! I shared my concern that my car may be still going through drive cycle, they offered to check if it's ready before actually doing it. It's way better than my experience with the last smog store, where the other one charged me 60 dollars and telling me they cannot do it that day in bay area. I really appreciate how nice and considerate the staff here are.”
