This place is great! It is in a good location right next to downtown Novato. There is a nice large and comfortable waiting room. The price is right. The service is fast. What is not to like?
I know where I will go for every smog check from now on! Carlos was professional and personable, the place is clean and neat, indoor seating is available if you want it, and he got the job done so quickly! Definitely better than any previous smog check experience!

Fantastic experience for my out of state vehicle’s first-ever smog test! Super professional, kind individuals. Done in 30 minutes and fairly priced, I will be going back for future tests & would highly recommend Hamilton’s Smog.
