I have been taking my vehicles to Lightning Smog for years. Brian runs a very professional business and provides excellent service. If you need to have your vehicle smog checked or registered this is the place to go.

Have used these very nice people about 7 times now. Professional, kind, and very nice people. This business is very well run. They even offer a discount now for cash. I’m not a review writer but wanted to give this business an applause.

This is the best place in town to have your vehicle slogged they go way beyond what they should to make sure that your visit is a positive experience I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else nobody going to rip you off or give you bad advice I don't know what the others charge but if I'm paying a little more it's worth every penny. Thanks to the staff at Lightning Smog your the best
