“Quick and easy! Mike was so accommodating and kind. The waiting room is very cool too. I will be back and recommend this shp to friends!”
“Great place to get a smog. Pass or don't pay. Quick and easy. No hassle service.”
“I smog my Beetle here every 2 years. It’s great to support a local small business. In and out quickly. There’s a Macaw parrot to keep you company in the lobby while you wait.”
“Quick & friendly service! Mike and team were really nice and helpful. I needed to get my car fixed before I could pass smog and he recommended a shop to me and didn’t charge me until I was able to pass. I called a few other local smog places and they all seemed to have high quotes and after taking into Quicksmog I was right.”
“Just went in today to get my truck smogging.. and wow what a professional and friendly place! I was able to get back on the road within 20 minutes. Great customer service and what a cute parrot! Will definently be bringing all our vehicles here in the future!”
“Quick smog check for my '97 CR-V. Reasonable prices and a cute parrot named Max”
