RATING:
Thumbs Up!
I planned to write this review a long while back, but never got around to it and having just paid my CA License Fee, it reminded me to put up a word about Accurate Smog Check in Campbell.
Both my fiance and I have taken our cars for smog checks here for the past three years and we wouldn't go anywhere else. It's a small Test Only Smog Check station run by a Campbell couple, Paul and Christa Rumpler. Besides the point that it's a nice "Mom and Pop" shop run by a couple of very nice and friendly locals, they also really know what they're doing and the shop, despite being a little hidden, is a comfortable place to wait for your car to get done. Check out their merchant profile for pictures of their waiting lounge. It's as close to a real living room as you're going to find in a auto service place and there's even a play corner for kids.
They also really know what they're doing too. Paul used to own his own auto repairs shop in Southern California, but decided that he didn't want to deal with the headaches of operating a full scale auto shop and opened up a less stressful business when he and Christa moved up north. He's got a lot more experience and knowledge about cars than your average smog test technician (which should be comforting if you have a higher end car).
It's not that I've had problems with getting smog checks elsewhere. My cars have always been in good shape and it's usually just an uneventful boring affair, but Accurate Smog Check is just a much nicer experience and makes an otherwise mundane trip into a pleasant appointment. I highly recommend these guys!
