I've passing by this shop for long time. I decided to go there for Smog Check XD due to the google map show up the thing with discount coupon I can use.
The first day I dropped by with no appointment before work, but the Smog Check will take 3-4 hours... So, I just went to work early. I made an appointment at that day. With Appointment, Smog Check was done in 20 mins.
The waiting area is fun. It's decorated in some simple designer way. Nice couches, clean floor, some nice coffee tables. The TV program is some set of pre-load program. It's fun to watch. I actually watched "Cookie Monster" cooked and learned how to jump with skate board. :O
The staffs were very chill and nice.

In the end of Smog Check, they suggested me with Transmission Fluid flush. The staff told me my CVT fluid level is way too low.
Well, I always know some shops will push extra services that customers don't need, but I'm not saying they pushed at that time. The same car was just at Nissan dealer one week before this Smog check for the 120k maintenance service, and why they didn't find this problem while on the print out they gave me did have a check mark at CVT? third, I changed my CVT fluid around 75k and the dealer guy told me it's kinda early for it... at the Smog check was around 125k... so... ya... However, in the meantime, I seemed to remember the oil change shop wants me to flush transmission fluid 2 months ago... So, you know it's all mixed signals. However, since I have time back at this appointment Smog Check day and their offer price was reasonable, so I just let them did it.
