I make it a ritual and take my cars to Santa Monica Auto for my smog tests when required to register my cars. They are efficient, friendly, the price cant be beat! The staff makes sure the customer is comfortable while the service is being done and when they say it will take 30 minutes they usually are faster. They have TV, WiFi, current magazines to read and offer fresh hot beverages in the waiting room for customers to enjoy while waiting. The seating is comfortable and the natural light is great.
