QUICK AND EASY SERVICE

At Lightning Smog, we understand time is one of your most valuable assets. Our main priority is to get you in-and-out as quickly as possible so you can get on with your day. We strive to provide the comforts of old fashioned, neighborhood-style service that has unfortunately fallen to the wayside in this modern-day-and-age. We also have an in-house registration services business, Lightning Auto Registration. This allows us to register, transfer ownership, and perform vehicle verifications for your vehicle. We have License Plates, Stickers, and Official Registration Cards on-site for your convenience. Service charges apply.
