I can't believe I've never did a review but I've been using this location for the past 20 years! Eddie is the owner and wonderful to work with over the years. He has incredible customer service, attentive and assertive. I refer everyone I know to The Smog Shop. When I refer it's because I trust the service will always be top tier as it is for me. If you're wondering if you should get your car smogged here or not, you should, you wont be disappointed. Eddie has many years of experience and will always help to inform you what to do when he's finished. I absolutely love this place and would never go anywhere else.
