★★★★★ 5.0 Jake VanCleave · Jan 2026

Very knowledgeable family run business. I feel like these guys went out of their way to help me and my small business.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Dennis · Jun 2023

I didn't use their service, but when I sat down on a bench near their office to wait a few minutes for my car from a nearby workshop, the owner came out and said that I could not sit on their bench because it was for his customers, i.e. just kicked me out. I'm not sure that such rude people can do a great job and take care of their customers. They chase away their neighbor's customer.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Laura Hunter · Oct 2022

I drove from Sausalito arriving at 12:00 to get a smog test, knowing without an appointment I may have to wait a few minutes. No cars were being tested. They said I’d have to come back at 1:15 because the close for lunch. Really? It’s not a doctors office. Haha! Nowhere do they indicate on either their own website or google that they close at lunch… Update your hours properly and take better care of your customers. I drove to another company to get the test done.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Brian Bane · Feb 2017

I called in advance to make an appointment. They were ready to smog my car when I arrived. After a 15 minute sit in the homely waiting room, my car was ready for the road. There are places that advertise for less money, but this one delivered for me. There is no nonsense service from the eastern European woman behind the counter, then dasvidaniya. I said no when she offered to file my paperwork for me (for a fee). It isn't that difficult to file it yourself. There was no hard-sell. She just shrugged in that particular way, which I found amusing.
