    Very fast, great value, & friendly Smog Check service! Sent a message through Yelp & the owner replied promptly. Definitely will return! Accepts cash & credit cards. Next time I'll bring Cash for the discount. :)

    Looking for speedy, trustworthy & reliable smog service? Then this is the place! Lees Auto Smog is run by the most friendliest and honest person I've ever met, James Ryan Cortez. Once you pull into the lot, he'll either have you pull straight into the shop or you'll have to park your car in an available parking spot. After that you'll make your way into the office. He can get your car smogged roughly around 15 -20 minutes. James greets every one of his customers who comes in. He treats every person with the utmost respect and kindness. Even if you're not a customer and you're just a person out on your daily walk on the street, riding your bike, walking your dogs, he'll take the time to wave hello and greet you. Some might even have the chance to have meaningful conversations with the guy! That's the type of person that you'll be dealing with. That's the type of person that I would want to deal with and take my business to. Thanks James!

    See all

    The price is right, he's efficient, and quick. He also has the cutest dog that says hi from afar. What more can you ask for in a smog shop?

He can diagnose the problem and give me all the options. This may sound strange, but I actually enjoy paying him. And I'm a tight wad! It will be a sad day when he fully retires.

After I picked my car up, I drove for 32 miles before I went over the hill to Santa Cruz. Once I was over the hill, my check engine light came on as well as my oil light. My oil indicator light has never come on since I bought this car new in 2016. There was not a drop of oil in my engine. I had to add almost 4 quarts to fill it up. Needless to say when I went in for an oil change, they forgot to put the oil back in. I called in immediately from Santa Cruz to let him know that my light came on and he automatically suggested that maybe I had a leak somewhere. I double triple checked everywhere under my car and there were no leaks not a single drop of oil leaking from my engine... when I got back into town, I immediately took my car back down to Payless to talk to Dan, and he still denied any wrongdoing insisting that I have an oil leak and that is where all the oil went had to keep an eye on it. Since then I have drove over 1500 miles and still not single drop of oil from my engine. I have offered him multiple opportunities to make this right by doing another oil change and a compression check on my engine to make sure that there was no damage done. I have received no response from him in any effort to make this right. I hate to leave a negative review because I actually really like Dan, but as a business owner myself, you have to be accountable for your mistakes. Had he just admitted that somehow it was overlooked and apologized, I would've gladly accepted and moved on. Unfortunately, now I need to worry about any damage that was done to my engine while it had no oil in it.

Whether you need a simple oil and filter change, an alignment, shocks and struts, a 60K maintenance, something tougher like an electrical issue, or anything else, they can handle it. If the work on your vehicle involves something complicated, they will keep you informed along the way with no surprises. Their prices are more than competitive and for the service received, this place is not only a gem but a true value. All work comes with a 24 month/ 24,000 mile warranty.

Their own paperwork admitted the cooling system only lost 1 psi in 15 minutes and that they couldn't actually find a leak. I got a second opinion at a dealership. The real problem was just the radiator cap -- the worn cap couldn't hold pressure, so the coolant was boiling over and escaping. About $100 to replace, and the car has run perfectly ever since. The cap was even listed on their own quote (a $26 part), but instead of trying the cheap fix first, they pushed a $1,500 radiator job. Either they couldn't diagnose a basic cooling issue or they were counting on me not getting a second opinion. Get your quote checked elsewhere before paying these guys.
