I have to say this was probably the best smog check experience in the last 25 years living in monterey county!!! Plus it was exactly 50 dollars! I have been to other places and they say it will cost a certain amount then you get there they tell you there is a fee for this or that and you end up leaving there paying more! This place was honest and only charged the 50 dollars as promised on the phone!

Eh. They were not aware of my appointment, no waiting area, lots of cigarette smoke.read more

HIGHLY recommend

Results were as expected with a few surprises that led the car to getting junked. This was not my local shop & the car owner had never been to it either. I made appointment via phone & left specific info about follow up so we would both get a copy of the inspection results. Piece o' cake 3rd visit in Dec 2025 - My car needed an alignment due to pothole in Salinas. City Manager's office told me that I could request reimbursement since fault was by the City. Luis, Sullivan's service agent, understood the mission & made sure that car had a suspension inspection prior to the alignment. Safety is very important for all vehicles on the road. Alignment was completed, all fees remained consistent without surprises, and customer service was the best. I was provided with documentation (txt and paper copies) for my records & to file a claim. Waiting area is clean & well-stocked with a variety of beverages to keep us hydrated during our wait. Entire property is clean & well-maintained. Staff don't just talk, they understand automotive AND human behavior.
