Easy and simple smog check. The owner is a good guy too. They handle dmv stuff right there!

I'm so glad to see this she'll have such good reviews I came searching for this establishment on yelp ready with my fist up but I slowly put them down seeing I didn't have to go Karen on the shell haters. They always have my favorite scratchers and my gas tank last when I fill up here. I wish a had a free bag of chippppssss though. Anyways come to shell. read more

Might be the slowest computer I have ever used on the pump, have to put your number in slow motion for it to even register. No tap to pay????? Doesn't support debit cards??? Bruh read more

The car wash service was really disappointing and didn't do anything. The express was $9 but I only saw water sprayed then sponged off - absolutely no soap or cleaning materials used. Afterwards there was still so much gunk and dirt on my car. read more

After returning from a week-long vacation, we needed to clean up the rental car from Turo.com. We missed the closing time of the Express wash on Madera, so started searching online for options of car washes still open past 8:00 PM on a Saturday. Sycamore Shell came up as an option. Being the closest one to us, we headed over. The drive-through machine where you stay in the car and the equipment does the work did an okay, but not stellar, job. The tires that were briefly driven through a muddy parking area needed lots of hand attention when the wash was done. There was still considerable mud visible. Also, the dryer barely did its supposed thing. That meant we had a lot of hand drying to do, which is somewhat challenging at night, with limited lighting. The station does attempt to light up the area adjacent to the car wash, but it could have been brighter or with better coverage. I see a lot of other Yelpers mentioning their smog testing services. I will keep that in mind the next time that comes up. Am not sure I would put the car wash facility at the top of my list for future visits, though. read more

Simi Smog & Wash - Inside the car wash. - Car Wash Near Me - Simi Valley, California

This is the main gas station I go to in town and that is because of how helpful and welcoming the staff are. I recently got my smog checked here for the first time and Havi assisted me. He answered every question I had and went above and beyond to make sure all of my concerns were addressed. Since then, Havi has answered any and all questions I have about engine issues whenever I stop in. Havi is great and I will definitely have my smog taken care here next time around. read more

This is the 3rd time I've taken my cars to Havi to have them smog tested and he is quick and efficient.. id recommend him any day

Very friendly and fast service with all the guys.thank you soo muchA must place to go to

I needed to get a smog test, and of course, I waited until the last day. Checked Yelp and found Sycamore Shell did smog tests. The whole process could not be easier. Luis was professional, courteous, and friendly. I don't know if it is due to the pandemic or the time of day, but it was super quick. I was in and out and paid in 15 minutes. They transmitted all the information to the DMV electronically. I highly recommend this location. I will be back when I need another smog test. read more

Time and time again I have such a fantastic experience here! The gas prices are always fair, I find myself here weekly filling up and grabbing some snacks from inside. I do have to mention their snack and drink variety is significantly better than the other gas stations in the area. Havi is always so welcoming and makes me feel right at home when I come in to smog my car. He was efficient, thorough, and extremely friendly. The price point here is great, some of the lowest smog prices in Simi valley. Great prices matched with a compassionate staff makes for an ideal combination! They also do DMV services like registration! It's my one stop shop and it means I get to avoid the long lines at the actual DMV. Highly recommend this place. read more

Another successful visit with sycamore. Shell with the help of Havi , Joseph and Joe that always greet me with great customer service , these guys really know how to value and treat their customers super knowledgeable with any registration / smog information , highly recommend this smog shop for all your smog and registration needs why wait in line at the dmv when you can get it done here thanks again guys ! read more

Something as simple as a deluxe car wash generates this review. I purchased a deluxe car wash at the pump. I parked in the car wash tunnel where the wash began. I noticed that there were no soap bubbles or a colored soap if any kind. I addressed this with the store clerk who said for the lower priced washes a clear soap is used, what did you say. Apparently, the most expensive wash has colored soap. I don't believe this line of BS from the store clerk. Instead of requesting my money back I'm writing to warn you to be aware that this Shell Sycamore uses water only for the Deluxe wash and charges $7.00 for water. read more

Louis has done the smog on my cars for a few years now. He is always treats me like an old friend. He is very professional and quick. I almost look forward to taking my cars in and I don't think any one looks forward to smog checks. Thanks for being so cool Louis. read more

I'm a traveling consultant and need to use the bathroom every so often before I meet with clients. I stopped by Sycamore Shell station and asked the cashier for the key to the bathroom. Wow, they probably have the nicest and cleanest bathroom I have ever gone to for a service station! Thank you for taking pride in your facility and just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am for what you do! read more

The mechanic guy was awesome! When I needed my tires fixed on my new car, he offered to help me without any trouble. I am a loyal customer here because of the amazing staff. Once again, shout out to the mechanic guy! read more

Jarveer was such a great help with my trucks smog check. He went above and beyond to help me fix it. Great staff and service.

Smog check went smooth and simple. Great value and Luis was a huge help! Recommend this location

Today I did the smog check on my Jeep at this location and oh man let me tell you the guy Name Luis nothing but nice and professional great job and mostly quick service I highly recommend this smog check place and you guys will have my business from now on thank you sycamore shell smog check shop read more

The hype is true. Came here for a smog check and Luis was awesome! Really friendly and personable, and took care of my car quickly. Affordable too! Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and need a smog check. read more

Took my 15 year old Charger in to get smog checked and Javi was super nice and efficient. Solved the mystery of why it wasn't passing. Took it to a local mechanic who fixed the problem. Thanks again! read more

Took truck in to get smog today and the technician Luis made it a very positive and easy experience.

DMV services here!!!! Yes!!!! I had an out of state vehicle transfer that was becoming a headache. Triple-A couldn't (wouldn't) do it, and it was looking like a half day off of work at the DreadedMoronsVisit to get my car handled. My blood pressure was already rising when I went to the DMV website and it said something like "additional locations",and listed this Shell gas station for all things DMV. Gas station?What?... So I called and checked. Sure enough, they said they could handle a title transfer. So today I went there, met Avi, who was totally cool, (and a car guy), knowledgeable, and efficient. In other words the complete opposite of the union schmoess at DumbassMV. I had PLATES, STICKERS, REGISTRATION IN LESS THEN 45 .... MINUTES. Title gets sent later. If you want to keep your sanity, GO HERE. Avi is great, and the service outstanding. You cannot go wrong. No, it's not free. Why should it be? Plan on an extra $70,but No lines, no second trips, no wasted time off. I can't recommend this business highly enough. read more

Luis is the best! Havi and him took care of my dads smog and registration so I went to him. He pre-checked my car and did not charge me when he said it would fail. I brought it back 5 times without charge and he was so cool about it. He referred me to a great mechanic and offered suggestions. He also helped my girlfriend with her registration and smog as well, and finally on my 6th try my car was ready and he helped me out. Very quick, clean and respectful, go to Luis for all your smog/reg needs! read more

Great customer service w/ smog check! Luis answered the phone and was courteous and most helpful with my questions. I haven't had the smog check yet, but will be going there tomorrow. I will give an update! And to Luis, if you ever start your own service station, let everyone here know! If remain, as polite, helpful and honest as you are now, you will have customers lining up for you! Thank you. It is such a pleasure and a pleasant surprise to receive, respect and courtesy in the service industry...it IS appreciated! read more

I regularly get my 5 vehicles smog'd here (4 drivers in the house). Luis, the smog tech, always welcomes me with a "welcome back" and actually remembers the other vehicles I've brought in. He gets me in and out quick and is super friendly. Appreciate the expertise and professionalism! read more

This is by far the best customer service I have received and trust me I work in the Customer Service Industry. I was in a bind and needed to get my car smog tested and sure enough I came here because of the good rating and guys their right! Luis was a big help, he really was knowledgeable and even said I can do my registration with him too. He said 20 min he finished in 10 and he even put my new sticker on my car. Thank you Luis your the best. Shell is lucky to have you! read more

This is s awesome company Friendly service and s family feeling I recommend this station to all my friends This is nice to know bring a woman and getting great service Come by you will be very happy read more

Last week I brought my Porsche for a smog check. Luis and team were courteous and professional and got it done quickly. The facility is clean and there's a convenience store attached with snacks and restrooms. They also honored the coupon from their web site even though I had forgotten to bring the printout with me. About as painless as a smog check could ever be. read more

Got some gas today, to me the most important is price of course, they are very reasonable, place looked nice and clean and kept up well, worked seemed very nice also and the place is easy in and out to the street. read more

Great location in center of town. And being asked for directions by Johnny Knoxville who stops to talk to you while you're pumping gas. Downside...I had no time to use my car wash code until later that week. Go to the car wash and code is invalid. Go inside to ask why and attendant said I already used it. Really? Isn't it obvious my car is still dirty? He would not give me a new code. Some douchebag hacked my code. Note to self: don't pay for a car wash here. read more

Super helpful. The free re-test is great. However I forgot it was 30 days....annoying but they gave me a discount. I have spent like 120$ on three different smog test stations. I think that this one was the best. read more

Annoying! I had fuel points to use and it states on the pump I should have received 10 cents off/gallon. I know it's not much off but they would not honor my points! I hate scammers even if it is over a couple of bucks! Protesting this shell! read more

Great place to get smog test, the dude is super friendly and honest. My car actually failed and he gave me insight on what could be wrong, which helped me when I went to my mechanic. It took a while for me to get around to it, it was part 60 days but he still gave me a discount on the retest. He had no obligation to do so, but it was much appreciated. I take all my cars here now! read more

Luis took care of my smog and new registration the quickest and professional ever. Who needs the DMV. Thanks, good job. read more

Just got a smog check. Don't know where Luis learned his customer service skills, but he is the BEST! Polite, friendly, respectful. Did exactly what he said he was going to do in the time he said he was going to do it, and even remembered (without me having to say anything) that he had talked to me earlier in the day and had given me the coupon price. I rarely experience that kind of service. Would highly recommend! read more

I just wanted to thank the guy that helped me today he works as a smog tech! I came in today with a flat tire and he came to my rescue by changing my tire and putting on the spare for me as he helped other customers in between helping me ! I sooooo much appreciate his kindness and I was able to get my car to a tire repair place and everything is great now! read more

Went to get my smog check. They were very friendly from start to finish. I highly recommend this place.

i can only speak to the quality of salesmanship / customer service when i went in for a smog check. first off, i could barely understand the attendant (very broken english). but whatever, i guess thats a given nowadays. i asked how much, and he told me $50 ($10 for certificate). i said i'll think about it as i went to pump my gas. he ran out after me and said $45. after a car wash... and calling a place to price check, who does it for $38 out the door... i told the attendant i would do it for "$40 total... $30 plus the $10 for the certificate". he agreed, "$40 total". cool. lets get it done. then my spidey senses kicked in, and i thought i better ask the actually smog check guy just to make sure. sure enough, he said "no its $45". we both went back in to ask the attendant who lied through his teeth and said "i told him $45". i said with a smile... "ok, i'll just go to this other place then". the smog check guy then becomes *real* professional (*sarcasm*), and says "no way buddy" as he basically throws my keys back at me. listen kid, i ain't your buddy, and don't get pissy with me if i don't like your prices. i should never have wasted my time with your shady attendant in the first place. now this place no longer gets my business for gas or car washes either. way to go customer service! (*extreme sarcasm*) ;) read more

Smog Check was done Fast & Easy, literally signed the papers, sat down for a bit then my car was all done and Passed quickly, Awesome customer service, super knowledgable tech. Plus they has a promotion going on for $10 Off too that I didn't even no about, definitely going back for my other vehicles. Plus it's a one stop shop, get ur smog, get ur gas, get some snacks, and grab a car wash too read more

See all

LIE. I came in with a $15 dollar coupon and you said you would only honor it for $5.
