Such great service! The staff was incredibly friendly and professional and they turned my smog check into an easy and comfortable experience. So if you are looking for a trustworthy - and Star station smog check... look no more! read more

Super easy to get my car smog done here. I called and they said no appointments just show up. I went around noon on a Thursday. There were 3 cars ahead of me so I waited 30 minutes. My smog took about 10 minutes start-finish. Definitely recommend! read more

Wow amazing Customer service! Fast drop in. No wait time. Wow GREAT experience. Very professional and friendly staff. I will be bringing all my cars here from now on. Thank you. Highly recommend it. read more

See all

Quick and easy! Simple as that... nough said....okay I'm done.... Well, apparently what I said isn't enough to be considered a review. The place is a small establishment that has a few chairs that you can sit on while you wait for your car to be serviced. The woman who was working behind the counter was friendly enough. The guy who did the smog check was all about getting me out of there fast so he could do the next smog. While I appreciate the quickness is might be off-putting to the average yelper. Bye! read more

Smog 4 Less has been my go to spot for years now. They are are always so nice there and so quick!! I'm always out of there in less that 15 minutes. There are no appointments and it's a first come first serve basis. I don't mind that because I go during the week when all you suckers are working haha. read more

Absolutely the nicest people here, helped me take care of an issue that kept me from passing smog at no extra cost to myself and really cared about me getting my paperwork done instead just taking my money and pass or failing me (which has happened before) Would recommend 10/10 and will be returning for all future smog needs read more

Best place in Ventura to get a smog! Such a nice family, and they got me in and out so quick!

We have been smogging all of our vehicles here for years now. Quick professional service. I love that it is a locally owned and operated small business. I will keep coming here as long as their doors are open. Thanks guys! read more

Picked this smog test location based on reviews here on Yelp. The owner/manager was polite and helpful. Price was comparable to other options around, but he was able to get my car and my wife's cars in and out fairly fast with no appointment. If you need a smog check, call first to ask about the line, but based on my experience you will have quick and professional service and be on your way before you know it. Now when you get to the DMV... that's a whole different story :) read more

I needed a smog and he was very efficient and completed quickly. Prices are set by the state so there isn't much to say about that. My car is newer so it was just plugged into the computer and then it was done. read more

Great teamwork between husband and wife. In and out was fast. Very resonable price. I never got out of my car and that was a big thing for me because my mobility is pretty limited. Great experience. read more

Needed a smog check and tried to pick one close to the DMV in Ventura. Really easy to find since I've been to Marshall's Bodacious BBQ many times. The guy who helped me was super friendly, all smiles in the morning and was really fast. Thank you for making this so painless! read more

Dropped by around 2PM on a Weekday and only waited about 20 mins before my car checked. The staff was super friendly and super nice. They were very helpful and made sure I understood everything about a smog check. Price was super fair, about $48 for my sedan. I highly recommend them! read more

My first time coming to this office and I had an amazing experience. They went above and beyond what they needed to do. Very helpful gave me information they did not have to and I really appreciate it. Kind and very honest people so many other places try to take advantage of you but not here I will definitely becoming back every time read more

My old Honda wouldn't pass smog on the first test and they didn't charge me but gave me the code to fix it. Fixed it, brought it back a few weeks later and it passed. Love Smog 4 Less. They are honest, fast, and professional. read more

I've always hated going to get my car smogged. It's usually such a hassle and inconvenience...until I took it to Smog 4 Less. They are awesome! Very accommodating, quick service, and they actually know how to treat customers. Joann, the owner is very nice and helpful. My SUV passed but they do offer a free re-test just in case. Check out their website for a coupon which will save you some $$$! FYI I had my SUV smogged and I paid way less than what my sister had to pay for her car to get smogged at another in town. Check them out if you need a place that is quick and professional, but still offers excellent customer service. Thank you Smog 4 Less! I'm definitely going to refer you to my family and friends! read more

I needed a small game right away I was able to be greeted and seated. The receptionist offered me the coupon for the small which helped a lot. After about 20 minutes my car was done. I thought they were fast professional and they made getting a small easy. I appreciate their timeliness in completing my small and their prompt service. read more

Good, quick and friendly customer service. Got exactly what I needed in a reasonable amount of time and reasonable price. Will come again.

Very nice car repair facility. Handled my smog certification without a hitch and very fast. Excellent place. Would consider this garage for general repairs read more

Great smog special! Fast, easy and at the price they stated on the phone.. read more

I choose here because I wanted lunch at marshals bodacious bbq! I was told that there were two cars infront of me and to wait in my car. I thought that was a conscious suggestion because of covid. But then I waited over an hour. Finally he told me to bring my truck around. When I got in the bay he told me that his computer was off and the program was down. I waited for nothing. He turned me away and I went to Ace smog around the corner to get passed. This place is a waste of time. read more

Friendly staff, fair price, and quick services! I recommend them for the next time you need to get you vehicle smogged! They also have a great variety of magazines read more

Great place. The representative was kind, professional and helpful. Please be aware if you do have the $33.75 coupon, this does not include the fee for the certificate. The total will come out to $42. read more

If your car is unmodified (like untouched) and less than 5 years old -take it here, don't go there with pre-2000 vehicles (he wont do it) or even the slightest of modifications like aftermarket exhaust /air intake or shit even an aftermarket hood (where body shop didn't place engine ID sticker back on hood) he will fail it or not inspect it, save yourself the trouble and take it elsewhere. read more

Easy in, easy out. I have been going to Smog for less for almost 2 years now, I am an independent car dealer and will only go here for all my smog checks. It's great to go to a business that is operated by the owners and dealing directly with them for all services. Best prices in the area!! $42 for smog and certificate, in and out in approximately 15 minutes. The process is relatively simple: 1. Pull your car up the driveway. 2. Greet the owner and confirm what you'd like done. 3. Leave or give them the key so he can move it to the inspection area. 4. Walk to the waiting room or go take care of other business and return to a completed smog check. 5. When your vehicle is ready, the owner will read the report results to you and ask you to pay for the services. The smog test results are electronically sent to DMV. 6. Your vehicle will be brought to the front entrance. Simple enough? I WILL NOT GO TO ANY OTHER SMOG PLACE!! read more

I needed a Smog certificate and had been here previously a few years ago and had a good experience so went back. It was a rare rainy afternoon and after dropping off my car and going to get lunch they called me to let me know that my hood would not open for some reason. I went back and attempted to open it myself to no avail. They came out and helped me for at least half an hour but no matter what we tried couldn't get it. I was really happily surprised at how they were willing to help and do so happily even apologizing that I had to deal with this stuck hood latch. This is not something they get paid to do, and certainly did not have to help, but they did. I took the car home worked on it for some time and finally got it working. I brought the car back, they smogged it and sent me on my way. They were extremely nice about all of this and went above and beyond for me. I highly recommend them if you need a smog Check!! read more

Ok seriously, car guys don't come any nicer than Mohtaram. I get there and I'm immediately greeted with a smile and a "good morning". Invites me in to have a seat in the clean office after I walk through the clean and orderly shop, asks if I have any coupons (yelp gave me one which saved like $8 off his already way low price) and then says I'm next up and it'll just be 10-15 minutes. All of this done with smile and friendly disposition firmly on display. Good start to my morning of errands. Thanks Mohtaram! 5 stars all the way! This must be why it's the second time this car has been smogged here. And he's goes by "Bruce" and his wife Joann is super sweet too! read more

We have been very isolated during COVID due to family member being high risk and so I was nervous to have a smog done. When I called to see how they handled things currently, they were very kind, didn't make me feel silly for taking extreme precautions, and explained their process. When I got there, there were two cars ahead of me, staff came out and explained where to park, etc. Things moved very quickly, I was in and out within twenty minutes and felt very safe, was able to sit outside while car was being smogged and I was the only one in the lobby when paying. I'll definitely bring my other vehicle there when needed. read more

Smog 4 Less is a small company. The people are really nice there and very friendly! They have their rules posted through the small lobby, which I think that is important to get the point out there. I have been going there since I started driving, 3 years now. I don't see any reason to stop going. read more

Look out for the "gas cap integrity" fail test. Just another way to charge five more bucks...which wipes out your "coupon". SCAM... read more

First time visiting this establishment. Pleasant interaction over phone and in person. They were kind enough to honor a coupon. $42 is a lot less than what I usually pay in other shops. Very swift and professional service. In and out in about 15-20 min. Highly recommend. Thank you! read more

I always get our cars smogged here. Nice people, great service.

Good service, I needed my car smog tested, and they did just that. Decent price, friendly receptionist, and I was in and out in a timely manner. Tons of easy access parking, and a really good BBQ place next door. What I really liked seeing is that they support local artists. They have a bunch of large canvas printed photos decorating their walls from local photographers, which is something I love seeing. read more

Very professional and efficient. I will recommend, I went mid morning and I was the only customer, the visit took less than half an hour.

They got the job done to smog my car. No fuss no muss. In and out in 20 minutes. Nice Asian proprietor. Cheaper than other places I can't remember if it was 39 or $49. read more

I HIGHLY recommend this smog test shop. This shop is run by a friendly couple, looks like a family run business. I have the most HONEST business encounter this week in last 20 years. If you're like me have old vehicles, which tend to have minor smog test issue. Unlike other smog shop, sometimes take advantage of minor issue and charge you re-test fee. This HONEST smog shop, they simply be up front with you, tell you what are the problem with recommendation, and inform you to go take care of it first, then come back later. I have had bad experiences with other shop at uptown MainSt. read more

Ben is absolutely super! Friendly, fast, and a real delight. I stopped by at lunch, and he got the line down quickly - all by himself! I was very impressed with this great service! Thank you! read more

Called at 2pm - he said to come right in, he's open until 6pm. Went next door for BBQ lunch (delicious, btw) and when i returned he was done with my car just a few minutes later. Polite, smiles, efficient, and good price. $42 2007 Toyota Yaris read more

excellent, efficient, friendly, professional. I've used this place for the past several years with all my cars and plan to continue

I went to Smog 4 Less. The service was great! Price was right...$33.00 (mention you saw this price on the internet) plus additional $8;75 to send it into DMV. It is first come first serve type of business. So I had to wait a little over an hour, not bad for being a Saturday afternoon. I recommend bringing your laptop or a good book just in case! I live in Ojai and this establishment was a bit out of my way (Johnson Drive). So I decided to include a visit to REI and Whole Foods ....It was worth the drive! read more
