For me, getting a smog check notice is like getting a jury duty summons, a drag, but you have to do it. I am glad I took the time to find out about Santa Monica Smog Check. If you must get a smog check, and you must to renew your registration, do it here. Don't even waste a second thinking about another place. They are right off the 10, near a park and a Farmer's Market on Saturdays. There are places to walk while you wait, like The Daily Pint, but you would only have time for 1 as they are really fast and really friendly. Bob handled everything for me and he could not have been more professional. There are other guys around, but again, this is far better than going to some dirty garage or gas station.
