Express Smog III

I went in the morning to get my car smogged, because I was selling it. This guy came recommended to me. I was told that the business opened at 8:30am, from the message machine when you call the business to check on the hours. No appointment is necessary. I was there at 8:25am, since I am neurotic about time. At 8:35am, I ran around to the other side of the building (the gas station part) to check with the attendant. The attendant said that the guy was running a bit late and should be there within 5 – 10 minutes. At 8:45am, he still was not there. I had to leave for work. I had a family member take my car in and the guy said that his machine wasn’t reading correctly for the header I had on my car. Really? It’s a common Greddy header, not that difficult. He referred my family member to take the car over to his friend’s shop down off of Verne Roberts Circle. My family member did, and was super pleased. The guy even accepted the coupon we had for the smog.

THIS IS A SMOG ONLY STATION
They are located on the back of the 76 gas station, Corner of Contra Loma and Fitzuren rd (right where Buchanon rd changes to Fitzuren)
I put off the smog check till the day it was due.
Called a couple of places.
The answers were «need to make an appointment» or «maybe we can get to it today»
These guy’s answer was to bring it right in
Got there and the tech was just finishing a car.
10 minutes and my car was in and being hooked up
WOW, Friendly fast service.
The waiting area is a little 2 seat affair with no real reading material, nothing but a worn out floor and a TV that wasn’t turned on.
At least they are next door to a convenience store so i could get a snack.
AND, i was able to get on line that day and pay my registration on time. Pretty cool
All together i would have to rate this place a positive
