Nice experience!…read more Open on Saturdays!!!!! I work M-F 8am to 4:30pm and just do not have time to get a smog check during weekday business hours. Luckily Pacific Smog is open on Saturdays. I took a random chance on a Saturday afternoon to go there and there were no cars in front of me. It took about 20 minutes. The guy was nice, personable, and offered the waiting area for me to relax in while he did the smog check. He did say that Saturday mornings are usually extremely busy but afternoons are a little more calmer. $65.00 on May 9th 2026.

This station for decades has always had a pretty good reputation for service and smogs. Knowing it…read morehad been sold in recent time I still did not hesitate to take my car here for the bi annual smog. Welp, my car didn't even make it that far as a check engine light came on and I was told there was no point in doing the smog as it would not pass until the death red light was extinguished. The guys here were very helpful and knowledgeable. Lorenzo explained by physically showing me under the hood what needed to done, how long it would take and how much of my life savings would be drained to complete this. While the dollar amount is high, for not having my car ever seriously serviced, I understood why. The decision to leave my car was easy , as Lorenzo's effort and time to educate me and explain in detail what needed to be done was comforting, I was confident my car was in great hands. While they had my car, Lorenzo called and said he noticed I would need an oil change soon and asked if I wanted him to do it as he had the car opened up already. I was hesitant at first, but just had him do it as I did not want to make another appointment in a couple of weeks for oil. Finally, a couple of days later and I was picking up my car. Lorenzo went over what he did. Took the time to show me what he changed out. Compared my parts to the new ones he put in , and it was like night and day, or clogged to unclogged. Let me know how my MPg's should show a difference and let me know of a couple of other things I should get done for safety reasons or looked at without any pressure of them doing it. I checked out with the cashier, paying exactly what I was quoted and the owner was so nice in giving g me a discount on my after the fact oil change. As I was leaving the owner, Gus came out and thanked me personally for trusting them with my car and for my business. That was awesome and memorable as now days, it's rare anyone says thank you or shows gratitude, and maybe even more rarer that it would be the owner of an establishment. Finding a service station that is trustworthy, knowledgeable, transparent , has integrity and fair in pricing is just as rare. But here it is. If your car is in need of any type of service or needs to be looked at, come see the guys at Old Orcutt Kwik Stop first. If they cannot fix it , they will advise you on who can , and at the very least, you will leave a little more knowledgeable about your car then when you first drove in. And as an added bonus, you might have a great chance of meeting the new owner Gus, guaranteed, he will make you smile.

When I rolled down the window I was greeted and asked what services I needed. They invited me inside, asked for the keys, and got to work. Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about what they were doing. I was impressed. I paid far less than what I was quoted at other locations and for the level of service I received I felt like I should've paid more. Very happy with the outcome and time spent at their shop. While in the waiting room I heard someone paying for new brakes, another customer paying for an oil change, and another asking about their AC being serviced. They do it all! I highly recommend this location for anything you might need done to your car.

I was completely confused. I should have left when my gut told me to. My car didn't pass he charged me 60 dollars and then proceeded to say he will charge 30 more dollars when I brought it back. In all my years I have never had a smog place do this. I felt he was trying to play a scam on me. Taking advantage of a woman. I will never use this place again. I took it to another place and it passed. Imagine that

WORST decision we've made coming to this shop…read more All we needed was a diagnostic on our AC for any leaks. The mechanic said they'd have it looked at within an hour...we check in an hour later and still nothing. We call 30mins before they close, and still no update. We finally talk to the manager of the shop and he agrees to have it done within an hour. The shop told us there wasn't any leaks and they refilled the freon, cost us $450. TWO DAYS LATER, the AC stops working. We took our truck in to the dealership (should've just done this in the first place) and we had a huge leak, needed to replace the condenser, and a freon refill bc of the leak. Dealership was accommodating with the price based on our prior trip to this useless place. I asked the shop for a refund since they DID NOT do their job. The shop gave us back a lousy $150 and kept $300 for "labor". What labor?!! They did nothing, wasted our money for a half ass job. Please do not go there. They obviously don't value their customers.

I am planning on getting a new one soon and simply wanted to get an urgent job done (alternator), and they made sure to explain and disclose the other jobs from severe to less serious, and ensure that I can make my own decision without any fluff or salesmanship. They seem like genuine people which I appreciate. The price is fairly decent and they even took off half of the $180 inspection cost given that I needed to get a job done. Originally, I was told it would take until 4:30 (I arrived around 9) to have my two jobs done and they finished by 1:30. They were pretty busy too. Anyways, super cool people and business, and I recommend giving them a visit.

A Shop With A Heart & Quality Work If you're on vacation,…read moretraveling through the Santa Maria area, a local resident with an unexpected car drivability problem, or just plain looking for an honest, down-to-earth shop that provides quality work, don't fret! There is such a shop that you can trust without hesitation! For the past three years, the repairs and services on my 2012 Ford Escape and 2012 VW Turbo S Coupe have been handled solely at Rick's Car Care, without a worry or hesitation on my part about their qualifications to do the work right the first time. Needless but necessary to state, the estimate and cost of the work to be done are reasonable, not inflated. What makes Rick's Car Care stand out above other family-owned independent automotive repair and service shops? To begin with, it is founded on old-school customer service, honesty, and quality work. Something that is becoming extinct when deep-pocket corporations purchase shops from retiring owners. However, a bright light shines on the answer to this dark auto repair and service scenario: Rick's Car Care! A family-owned independent shop owned by Erick Enright and his wife, Amanda, that remains steadfast in providing great customer service and the highest-quality repairs and services to its clientele. If you are seeking honest, friendly shops that provide quality work, I highly recommend this shop not just as a John Q. Public customer, but also as a former sole proprietor and automotive technician at a local shop.
