Quick service, nice team, and clean place! A little pricy but it is worth it for the speed!

Its ok what they do but they charge you even if your car doesn't pass smog check so what is the point if they do the smog check if you are going to pay them anyway and when i ask the guy in the front desk why didn't my car pass the smog he answered take it to a mechanic not the best answer but i knew that already! Not recomended read more

Passed smog numerous times at different stations. I have an air intake with super strong tape that is taped over a very small hole in my intake. Other smog shops didn't have a problem with it, so why did they? Bunch of cons if you ask me. read more

Professional Team, Nice & clean waiting room, on on time delivery at a reasonable price. Highly recommend Pacific Smog!!

This place is simply a very bad business. Failed my Toyota truck because of a timing adjustment that took a mechanic LESS THAN A MINUTE! Had to pay them AGAIN to retest !! And the manager smiled as he explained they are the ONLY inadequate " TEST ONLY " station in this area. Complete RIPP OFF!!! Go anywhere else and save money, get better service and save a lot of time. WARNING this place will rip you off!!! read more

Fast, friendly, professional service. Wireless internet while you wait in the lobby (they're testing my car as I write this)!

I was in and out of Pacific Smog in just 5 minutes. Great job and I didn't even have time to finish my sandwich I bought! Fast and dependable and all paperwork done. Thanks Pacific Smog! read more

Stay away from this Smog Check station. It used to be excellent, and I would have said 5 stars a year ago. But the kindly older gentleman is gone and his replacement is a young ginger with apparently no right to check cars at all. I was told my 2005 vehicle had a mechanical issue and could not pass. After Sean gave me this story, I made an appointment to have my car repaired. SURPRISE!!! NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AT ALL. NOT EVEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. The mechanic at the new location was mystified as to why Sean at Pacific Smog gave me false information. My car passed right away without a costly repair. I will not go back to this dishonest business. Too bad, I was a customer for over 20 years. read more

I was greatly impressed by the customer service, cleanliness and efficiency of Pacific Smog. They inspected my 18 year old MBZ 300 yesterday. I did not have an appointment and I was in and out within 30 minutes. I also spoke with some other customers and they were just as pleased as I was with Pacific Smog. read more

I've taken my 98 truck here multiple times with the same results: I'm greeted as I enter, quick talk with friend front desk person, test is ran quickly, I pay, get the papers, and I'm out. Normally takes around 10-15 mins and I normally go either first thing in the morning or after lunch. read more

Fast service. I was done in 15 minutes even though there were four people when I walked in. Grumpy guy was at the desk but cheered up when I spoke more loudly. They have wifi which is more than my doctor does. Get with the times Doc! read more

Used to be great. Now, new people and flimsy, unprofessional service. Especially the new person behind the front desk, attitude. Too bad, used to be great. read more

My f350 needed a smog. Was in and out in under 15 mins. Super fast and friendly. Would highly recommend it read more

I was recommended to this establishment from the woman i purchased my truck from. I took all of my paperwork walked in and showed the man at the desk he looked up and gruffly asked why I was back in only three months. I explained the previous smog expired from the woman i just purchased the truck he said nothing in re guards to cost time or explaining procedure took my keys and asked me for actual mileage. I waited patiently he arrived 20 min later with new paperwork ant told me the vehicle failed due to battery failure the man was very rude I asked repeatedly why did the test fail and how to fix it all he could tell me was to drive the vehicle. He charged me 43 dollars and told me when i return he will charge me again for the retest. I feel scammed the paperwork was pass on all but under electrical he wrote car not ready to take the test why not ask a customer did you just start your vehicle for the day and drive it straight here if not lets do the test in the afternoon when it warms up BTW I'm going to charge you double cost because I'm a jerk read more

Can't speak to the other reviews but my experience suggests they were written by the owner of Pacific Smog. I took my car here only because of the coupon. Although the "receptionist" gave me a price of $39.95 I was charged $43.75. Moreover, the tech did everything he could to fail the car - told me the engine light wasn't working (wrong), said the intake wasn't CARB certified (wrong), and finally told me the catalytic converter "wasn't stamped" as approved by the DMV. He also said my monitor wasn't working which, because I rarely drive this car, is normal. Everywhere else I have taken this car has told me to drive it around the block a few times and bring it back - they won't charge me the recheck fee. Not this place!!! $23.75 to recheck! The HC allowable amounts were 100 and 130. My car registered 7 and 9! In other words, SUPER CLEAN!!! I came home and called the DMV to report this place and was told the law requiring a cat converter to be stamped was not passed until 2009 and not enforced until 2012. MY CAR IS A 1999!! Needless to say I returned to this place and gave them a choice of either refunding my money or I would file a complaint with the DMV and BAR. My money was instantly refunded. However since I have their phoney "fail" form I can keep my appointment with a DMV referee so I might file the complaint depending on what the referee says. From what the DMV told me, a smog check from a referee will cost nothing except the $8.25 for the certificate. Do yourself a favor and do not risk wasting your time with this place. read more

Perfect. got in got out. Courteous service. Took 15 minutes ! Thank you very much.

Inspection was ok but the owner was very rude and unprofessional. I walken in after parking in the wrong place. He did not even turn around but said "Park in the parking space". Hence the 1 star for customer rudeness. read more

In and out in about 15 minutes. professional and very cordial. We've used them twice and found the service to be exceptional.

Needed a smog check for my car registration and came here on a whim. It's first-come-first-serve basis. I had three people ahead of me and was still done 21 minutes later. The guy at the front desk was polite and the waiting area was clean. I was very impressed with the service! read more

Don't let the appearance of this place keep you from going. This place operates with German efficiency. Staff is courteous, friendly, and professional. I was in and out in under 20 minutes. read more

No muss, no fuss. Quick and good. I read another rating where the staff provided bad instructions on a check-engine light that came on because of a battery problem. Well, these folks are not highly paid BMW experts, or Ford mechanics or anything like that. If you have anything tricky, go to a higher-priced garage where mechanics work on that kind of car. (That's not to say that Pacific Smog should be giving bad advice. In the past, it has seemed to me that they knew their limits, and said things like: "You are going to have to take this to a BMW mechanic." And then the BMW mechanic said: "Do you want us to get this smogged for you after we fix it?" And, they took my BMW to Pacific Smog.) read more

Pacific smog in Seaside is a ripoff. I duck taped an area of the air cleaner ducting that can easily brake to make it stronger. When they first saw the car they knew the tape was there but they did the smog test anyway and it passed the smog fine. They had me pay for the test then told me my car failed because of the duck tape. They said the ducting would need to be replaced and I could come back which they would again charge me for a cost of another test. I will never go back there. read more

Was recommended to go to Pacific Smog by a friend today. Must say I was very pleased. Went in around 10:30am on a Thursday and was out by 10:50am with a nice smog pass result. The staff was quick as well as friendly. I'll definitely recommend this place to others. read more

Taking my car and truck in here last few years and the service has always been fast .Excellent Staff .

I would not suggest this smog check station. The person behind the counter was very rude when I was there. If you want to get your car smog checked simply, quickly, and pleasantly, go to another smog check service center. read more

I love that there's no appointment needed -- walk-in are welcome. They provide a quick and easy service. The shop is clean -- professional and friendly staff in my opinion. I highly recommend Pacific Smog. read more

Been to this place many times and always speedy and good service. I recommend it.

Seriously, go anywhere else. The tech has no clue as to the test procedure for diesels. You will be wasting your money. Same deal if your vehicle is pre-96, just forget it walk away. read more

This is my first Yelp 1-star review. Though my extended family and I have used Pacific Smog for years, I'll not be going back. The treatment I witnessed of an elderly African American customer and a young Asian woman there was terrible! The white customers (including myself) were dealt with in a straight forward, efficient, even friendly manner. But the customers of color were treated with disrespect, suspicion and contempt. Really--contempt. It was disgusting. read more
