Got a notice from DMV to get a smog check on our car in order to renew the registration, in which I thought we weren't suppose to since it's a hybrid. Aaron assisted us and thought the same thing. He took it upon himself and called the DMV and found out for us that it's not required for 5 years from date of purchase and that their system sometimes doesn't update properly. He advised us to just get the smog check, just so we could renew by the deadline and then go to DMV and request for a refund on the smog check.
Shortly after, he brought our car around and informed us that he did check with DMV again to just be sure (gave them our license plate number and 4 digit VIN number to look up). They confirmed that they do have our car updated as hybrid, so no smog check was necessary.
My husband and I thought, wow...so nice of him to find out for us and he just saved us $20 and the hassle of going back to DMV. I highly recommend this tire shop due to their high level of customer service and honesty. Christian at the register was super nice too. We'll be back! Thanks Aaron & Christian.
