I never thought I'd so enthused by a smog check that I'd feel compelled to write a Yelp review, but here I am, smitten with this smog check spot. I called when they opened to schedule an appointment, to reach a very courteous man who sounded like he should wake me up on the radio every morning, and he said I could come in at any time and it should be about 30 minutes. Sweet. I arrive, and the man who smog checked my car was equally friendly and helpful, and instructed me to pay in a waiting area that rivals a hip cafe. There was comfortable seating, hispter tables, succulents, and a Keurig machine. Usually, the "waiting area" at a smog check is 3 folding chairs in a small office that smells like motor oil and if you're lucky, perhaps a pot of coffee, a Sparklets dispenser, and some styrofoam cups that make you feel like your carbon footprint just went up a size if you dare use one. This felt like a place I'd meet someone for a cappuccino or write in my journal. I sat down and enjoyed my coffee, and within 10 minutes, I was told my car had passed and was ready. To put the icing on the cake, they parked my car so I could immediately exit (don't you love when someone parks your car so you have to do an 8 point turn and avoid hitting 7 strangers cars in the process?) and even put the seat back to my severely short position. I never thought a smog check would be so remarkable I would only return to one place, but it's happened: I'm married to this place for the duration of my vehicle ownership.
