Victor was kind and efficient. I almost always go to Main Street Smog test because of their coupons and I get the service I need and the kindness I want. Bravo! BTW, you can never predict the line. My best times are on my lunch break. If I need to go on a Saturday, I can wait a little longer as that is my day off. read more

Main Street Smog Test - $48 after the coupon. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Ventura, California

Always have taken my cars there, convenient location, quick in and done. I will be back in the future.

Got a smog check done here for my gf's Corolla, and was in and out within 10-15 minutes. I looked at other smog shops, but decided to go with this one since it was close to us and we had a coupon from a magazine. Not sure with why this shop is lowly rated; it's a smog shop and all they do is smog your car. Customer service was friendly, and they have a small waiting room inside. By far one of the quickest and cheapest smogs I've had! Definitely recommend if you're just a regular Joe doing their bi annual smog on a stock car. read more

See all

My go to spot out of convenience and friendliness. They are also pretty quick too. There's lots of options out there, but if you want to drop by and get in and out at a fair price, this is the spot. Plus they have an online coupon too. Just have to google it. Great service! read more

Professional, friendly and efficient! They also have a $10 coupon in the City Shopper.

Stamp of approval for this small biz. After reading some negative reviews I was a little hesitant however my experience was stellar. Very polite and friendly. Fast and easy. There's a coupon for $10 in gocityshopper.com that I used. They have a waiting room and it only took about 10 mins as a walk in. All they do is smog. Service was great! read more

Main Street Smog Test is a great place to get your vehicle smog checked. They are STAR Testing certified. Their model is first come, first served. No reservations taken. Located just off Main Street just up Dos Caminos. The owner/operate is quick, efficient and knows his stuff! He is also very quick. I dropped my truck off and picked it up a half hour later. Unfortunately, it had some issues and I had to take it to my mechanic to fix them. Re-testing was only $20 and $8 for the certificate. This time I waited and he was done in 15-20 minutes. If you want a quick and easy smog test, I can recommend Main Street Smog Test with confidence. read more

Two cars ahead of me and I still didn't have to wait very long. The technician was extremely efficient, there was ample parking, and a nice patio for waiting the few minutes I had to. Honestly, the best smog check experience I've ever had. read more

The necessities of life- having a smog check is so much easier when you come to a fast efficient place like thid. No waiting around 9:30 in the morning. First come first served and only took me 10 minutes. Smog paperwork submitted online. Nice guy. read more

Will not return. Twice in the past 12 months we have taken a vehicle and both times for different reasons it was deemed necessary to return to pay again for a retest. First time vehicle wasn't "ready" so they did nothing. After being corrected by dealer, they had us pay again despite the fact they did nothing the first time around. Second vehicle had a hairline crack in air intake piece. All numbers passed just fine. When we returned the vehicle to show piece was replaced, we had to pay again. Just be ready to pay twice is my warning. read more

Been coming here for 10+ years with several vehicles and i only come to main street smog. Always fast, friendly, clean, and convenient. Hardly ever waited more than 5 minutes. Its locally owned and operated with the best prices too, what more do i have to say? Smog tests are what they do and they do it well! read more

Always great customer service from Victor and always finds time to do some small talk. Always fast and reliable professionalism here. I have been going here for about 5 years now and will continue too. Take your vehicles here and you will feel the same way and please tell a friend too also. read more

I brought my Vanagon in for a test. The mechanic listened to the idle and told me that it was so unstable that it would fail if he put it on the test machine. I took it home and found that a plug fixing a vacuum leak had fallen out. He could have done the test and charged me extra money for two tests. Main Street Smog is a Test Only station so there was no incentive other than honesty and goodwill to recommend not testing it at that time. Thanks for great service! read more

Don't go here. My car was inspected and maintained by dealership before smog test. Runs great no smog problems.then Juan tells me a hose is missing. It's an automatic fail. If that hose was missing the dealership would have seen it car had just been inspected. Why would he charge me or test it if hose was missing and it's an automatic fail? Engine is dusty. Interesting where this hose was missing it's sparkling clean as hose was just mysteriously gone. I saw Juan with screwdriver in his hand under the mirror they have above customers car hood. All of a sudden my timing is completely off according to his machine. Car had no timing issues. Coupons are not honored even though the coupon is from /for their own shop 68.00 dollars plus 30 more for a retest. Juan complained how he is doing me a favor to test an older car. Rude disrespectful. I'll go elsewhere. read more

Juan was fast, communicative and efficient. Luckily I arrived near the end of the day and there was no waiting. I recommend them. I drive a 10 year old Prius and pretty much knew it would pass the test. Thanks. read more

I was looking to fit in a smog test after work so I drove over to Thompson Smog Only. But apparently it's a tire shop so I said fine and tried Crown Smog. Which of course moved so that location is a Chevron now. I said okay last try and came over to Main Street Smog. Rolled up around 45 minutes before closing but they said with two people in front of me they could still fit me in. While I was waiting I saw that this place had more than a few negative reviews so I was a little nervous. But less than 30 minutes later they were done and I was out the door. Fair price, my car passed with flying colors, and quick service. Can't ask for anything more from a smog shop. read more

Scammmmm these guys are asshole Try tried telling me my mechanics robbed me and they didn't fix my car when they did it for free you're staff are idiots and rob me $48 when my check engine light was already on and you should've never even tested me in the first place Or took my money I will be getting a lawyer for the distress and treatment the employees caused me ! read more

My experience at this Star certified smog test center was quick & easy. I found a coupon on-line for a $33.75 test, plus $8.25 for the DMV certification which applied to '96 models and younger. Unfortunately, I didn't notice this exclusion until showing up for the smog test and learned that the discount didn't apply in my case. While the Jaguar still looks & runs great, she isn't as young as she used to be. She kind of reminds me of me. =)) read more

Iv been going here for years without any problems, Today was the last. We just bought a used pickup truck and brought it over only to have Oscar take our 60$ with full knowledge that it would fail because the check engine light was on. Not cool at all! We will definitely be taking our business elsewhere from now on. read more

Not sure what more you could want in a smog testing place. Friendly, no BS, quick, helpful. After experiences at Smog centers that felt kind of sketchy (you know, you get the sense that for a fee they will sprinkle magic dust on your car so you can pass, that sort of thing), this was just all positive. Only issue is you don't know it's there unless you make the extra effort to seek it out. It's between Pacific View Mall and 5 points, and it's on the same side of the Main as the mall -- but it's just off the street, really on S Dos Caminos, and it faces Dos Caminos as well. Anyway, great guy there, highly recommended. read more

Easy in and out! The guy was friendly and the price was good. Had a coupon on the website that I used. Best price I was able to find in town. read more

Had an absolutely horrendous experience at this place. They took my money and smogged my car, it barely failed. I came back for my free retest and they informed me that I had needed to go to a Star Certified Smog shop in the first place. I wanted my money back but they promised that they would be Star Certified by the following week (the week before my tags were up). Flash forward to the following week and no phone call. They finally called a few days before my tags were due and said I could come by for my retest. When I showed up at 2:45 in the afternoon they were closing shop and said they didn't have time for me. I went somewhere down the street and it passed no problem. AVOID THIS SHOP!!!! There are too many shops around here to risk dealing with these guys. read more

Great friendly and speedy service. read more

Main Street Smog Test - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Ventura, California

One bay (one car) shop, with one technician. First come, first serve (as of March 2014) Yet, speedy service, good price, and friendliness. I've been here twice now, in the past six months, for two of my cars. Each time, I've not had to wait more than 10-15 minutes until my car is processed. I arrived a little after Noon and was done before 1:00 pm. The price has seemed fair ($48 total, or 39.75 smog check, 8.25 certificate). The guy was cordial ... not dirty or scruffy, and no bad mood attitude. Just focused and friendly. read more

I have had good service here before - but could this be new management perhaps? Went in this morning (a Saturday) and there were several people standing around. I asked how long the wait would be and he couldn't tell me - finally said about an hour. I asked if I could sign in and come back in an hour - no. "First come first served." How tough would it be to get a piece of paper and a pencil?!! Sign in when you drive in, and guess what? It would STILL be 'first come first served,' but I wouldn't have to burn an hour sitting in your parking lot. I went elsewhere. read more

Main Street Smog is the place to go if you need to get your smog checked in Ventura County. Everyone who works here is friendly and efficient. Every time I come to get my car checked I am in and out in 10 minutes and the guys always answer all my questions. There really is no place better then Main Street Smog! read more

When you look up cheapest smog, this guy with his online coupon might pop up, he may be the cheapest, there might be no line, but do not go here! This guy is shady and looking to rip people off! I have a stock, Chevy s10.... And this guy starts climbing under my car telling me that I don't have enough O2 sensors, that my intake doesn't look right and that he's going to have to flag me!! He was trying to tell me that I needed to pay him for all kinds of work. Luckily I didn't give him my info before he started to try to rip me off and then asked for my registration paperwork. I told him that if he wasn't going to pass me that he could F*k himself and I left. Do not go here. He's going to try to rip you off and sell you a bunch of work your car doesn't need. When I left I went to 3 point auto and they passed me right away. Again, my s10 is stock, and low miles, no lights. Do not fall for this smog trap! read more

So they are crooks and liars and when my daughter brought in her car it had a check engine light on and they took her money and told her she failed. They, like other smoggers should of told her no matter what it won't pass smog with a check engine light on and to go to see a mechanic and come back. They didn't because they wanted to take $60 instead of $40 from my teenage daughter. Her own money too! Crooks!! I'll make sure everyone knows not to go here. read more

Place has new owner. Sum it up as. The owner is very rude. First time i ever met him, he told me re-test was $20. When i used to go here the other owner had a free retest. I asked him "it used to be free?" his reply " I used to be 21" and not in a funny manner. Car failed smog. Next time i came back, I waited 30 minutes when it was my car next he got in and honked at me as i sat at the table waiting. He honked at me to get the keys, even though he was literally 10ft away and simply could have asked. The whole time seemingly annoyed I was even there. Then he basically yelled at me for my timing being off (I an not a mechanic, In reality when i took it to a very respectable mechanic the timing line was washed over with some grime and dirt so was not visible until cleaned off) After this un pleasant back and fourth I decided to take it to Smogies. I was actually treated like a paying customer instead of some annoyance. I would not recommend this place to anyone for any reason. Owner is not a happy camper and displays in his horrible attitude. read more

So I pull in and the technician is sitting in his car at the edge of the parking lot. He wanders over and I ask the price. "$48," he says. I asked if he didn't want to match the other lower prices around town, like maybe $35. He said "Now it's $68. The lower you go, the higher I go." I wished him a good morning, naturally. read more

Great service, fair pricex, honest & friendly. Have been here 4-5 times over the years and have always left feeling as though I should write a yelp review to help promote/reward great service. Not sure what more to add, place was clean and service took less time than projected. Will return and will continue to refer friends and fam. read more

Drove in .... hooked up ...checked and drove out... Very good attitude, and very professional...***Note ... on 2000 and newer cars they connect to the computer on your car, as long as their are no check engine light issues, certificate is issued. ***+ Get the coupon online.... Total cost $42.00 read more

Quite funny that this company's site indicates that they pride themselves with friendly service. My experience today was quite the oppositeI Jose gave me a price quote (not willing to match others) that I accepted and requested a rag and screwdriver so that I could remove the carpeted area over the engine. (That way I could ensure that the paint was not scratched.) Once removed, this reveals the engine cover which has five screws that need to be taken out. So he gives ME a ratchet and I start removing these screws, all the while thinking to myself why I am doing HIS work. I remove all 5 screws and now he wants me to actually remove the cover!! Keep in mind that I am in my 60's, and not a frickin mechanic. I tell him I'm leaving and to give me my paperwork back, and he REFUSES to give it to me. SO now I can't register my car online with DMV! Arghhhh! Friendly service my @%% read more

Very standard, no thrill smog shop, first come first serve. Employee starts working on a car then starts prepping next customer. We arrived, two cars before us, we waited 30 minutes just as we were told the time wait would be. Seating to wait is outside and inside. Customer service just fine. read more

Good service and fast. Same price as smogies and without the cocky attitude. Went there after Smogies refused service because my exhaust wasn't sticking out the side or back and gave a poor excuse for it. read more

Quick and painless! Took maybe 5 minutes total and also found a coupon for $5 off in the local mailer.

Called before to see if they have time to do a smog check. The person on the phone told me 2 cars are there and in 20min they can do my car. I said ok I come by and was there 15min later. There was 3 cars waiting and I said I come back in 15min. When I came back they told me they are now on a break and there are 3 cars in front and he will close not later then 5pm. That means I can wait but he's not sure if I will fit in his time slot. WOW thanks for wasting my afternoon with hours of waiting ... OH yes and he told me I can make an appointment. HEEELLO ? I called before and I was told I could be serviced in 20min. I hate people which think they doing a VERY important job.... Only because the DMV asked for this certificate does not make this smog people to VIPs. They know you need the certificate. BUT guess what? There are so many other companies out there which are doing a much better customer support. LOOK somewhere else! read more

$33 coupon turned into a $68 fee, & failed "visual" on a part that was fine, tech didn't know difference between PCV & intake. THEN stamped invoice with another $20 for a retest that was previously & supposedly free? Never going back to this place ever! Highway robbery. Used to be a good place... dunno what happened, but not the place it used to be. read more

First time my car failed the smog test because of the fuel leaks somewhere. I brought my car to the dealer had it fixed. Then brought it back to re-test the next day, he did NOT believe me I had it fixed, he even went underneath the car with special tool to re-scan for the fuel leak, even when re-test machine had passed my car! The guy just too much!!! read more
