Our story

A San Francisco Treasure on Mission Street

A smog check is the errand nobody looks forward to — unless Richie is the one doing it. At our station at 1798 Mission Street, drivers walk in without an appointment, get personal, human attention, and are usually back on the road in about 20 minutes. Some regulars finish in under ten. Our customers say it best: 103 Google reviews and a 4.8-star rating, with words like fast, efficient, and professional coming up again and again. The price you're quoted is the price you pay, and it stays competitive. Regular cars are always welcome, and we're open six days a week — weekdays and Saturday mornings — so the smog check fits your schedule, not the other way around.

  • First come, first served — no appointment needed
  • Most checks done in about 20 minutes
  • Price as quoted, always competitive
  • Open six days a week, including Saturday
