It was a rainy day, all day today. But I had to get my card smogged today, no more excuses, so I had to go... when I arrived, someone immediately greeted me, WITH AN UMBRELLA, and gave the umbrella to me. I am not afraid of the rain, but I sure appreciate the gesture. Then they smogged my car quickly, and I was out of trouble from the DMV, just like that. Painless.

Partly it is my fault for being such a procrastinator, but I needed my car smogged before Christmas and I just did not have the chance to do so until this morning! Christmas Eve!!

No wonder, many of the shops are already closed for the holidays, but they are still open and was nice enough to fit me in. Turns out many are just like me... the shop was busy but they were quick enough to get me in and out in no time!

I called 7 Days and they are actually closed this month, what a bummer! So I brought the car to richmond, and they took care of my car just as fine as the berkeley shop. Despite my reservations about having my car in Richmond, actually this place is very safe. But nothing, and I mean nothing, is as good as 7 Days A Week Smog.

This is one busy shop, which is a good and bad.... good is that many people love their service, as I see excellent reviews for them before I came. The bad, is that it is very crowded and busy... on bad days you may need to wait a while. But they really took their time with everyone, answered all questions, and were very helpful. They have amenities like snacks and free internet, so I can work while they smog my car.

I met with the owner when I got my car smogged here, and she is very sweet, very nice. In this economy, they did things right by treating their customers right.... too many just take your biz for granted and treat you like __, so I am glad to send my biz here!
