I had an incredibly frustrating experience at this shop and will not be returning. I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you value your time or expect basic professional courtesy. I had appointment. When I arrived, the first staff member flatly told me they couldn't do it. Conflicting Information: A second worker stepped in and told me to park in a specific spot, promising I would be the "next car." Instead, I sat there and watched them take multiple other vehicles ahead of me. When I politely asked for an update, the first employee explained that other cars take more time. I said ok. then the other person who said was the boss started an argument with me, condescendingly saying, "You're in a hurry!" as if expecting them to honor my appointment and their own word was unreasonable. The level of communication here is non-existent, and the staff's attitude is combative. If you don't want to waste your afternoon being lied to and then insulted for noticing, go somewhere else. A smog check takes 15 minutes; there's no reason for it to come with this much drama. read more

I had booked an appointment for 3pm but finished my previous commitment early so drove by about 1pm. .(Sorry I do not remember the name of the man I spoke with) He said "to pull in and would test in 20minutes" No worries. He did. Quick, efficient , pleasant manner.. Sixty dollars. Will be there in two years ! read more

The friendly and knowledgeable mechanics at Smog Express were wonderful! They had me in and out quickly. It's best to make an appointment.

Called and they told me to come in at 3. I drove right up at 3. Pulled right up and parked. Not sure how long but it felt like only 10 minutes. He was done and had my paperwork. Explained that it would be uploaded at midnight if I haven't paid my registration yet. Super easy and quick. Check in on yelp. I got $5 off. read more

Didn't make an appointment, just stopped by for smog testing and was done in approximately 15-20 minutes... This was our 3rd time here and will continue to return.... Very satisfied... read more

My wife had brought her Honda here and had nothing but good things to say about their service. They squeezed me in half hour before closing time with another car ahead of me and I was done in 20 minutes total. Jeremy hooked it up. It was $55 for my V8 truck and I cannot complain about that. I will definitely recommend these guys read more

Smog check done very quickly! Very convenient. Much appreciated. I'll return to this business next time I need a smog check.

First time trying this place. Everything was smooth. Called in the morning shortly after 9. Owner told me to stop by at 9:30. When I arrived, he was friendly and smog check took no longer than 15 min. I sat and waited outside. Paid $55, then left very pleased with the overall experience. Would recommend. read more

I can only speak for smog checks, they're quick and convenient. Average pricing for smog checks in the area. Nothing special or exceptional. I just sat on the only chair they have outside next to the garage while waiting for my smog check to be done. read more

Came in to have my first smog test done since owning this vehicle and as soon as I got out, Jeremy greeted me, took my keys and DMV form, and got to work almost immediately. I was out of there in no more than 20 minutes and will definitely be returning to this location for the future checks I need to have done prior to renewing the registration on my vehicle. A+! read more

Stopped by to see if there was any availability to get both of my cars smogged-- they were willing and available to get me take care of without any wait. Took maybe 25 minutes for both cars. Both of the guys working were very friendly and helpful. It was about $55/car. Strongly recommend. Will be going back. read more

Owner was rude and unhelpful. I will NEVER use this company again. I picked this location because of convenience. Big mistake.

Excellent service and very responsive employees. They take reservations and are very helpful.

Jeremy is the man quick service. Responsive and very professional. They have earned my business

Reasonable price, quick in and out, as it should be for a smog check, conveniently in Marina, no need to drive to Seaside.

I had a 9:30 appointment and was out of there by 9:45. The technician, I believe his name was Jeremy, was friendly, efficient, and obviously knows his stuff. Great service, great prices, great staff, and convenient location for Marina residents. read more

Very friendly and fast service. I had to cancel two appointments and they still were able to fit me in. Highly recommend!!

I am new to Marina and found them on Yelp! Smog Express has fast and friendly service. I had an appointment for my truck this morning it was ready in 15 minutes. They do offer a discount if you check in, so check in! I realized after I left that he forgot to give me the discount, but when I messaged, he offered to reimburse it or i can use on the next visit, cool. read more

good smog service! I came in without an appointment and had my smog check done in 15 minutes.

They helped me right away and the whole process didn't take longer than 30 minutes maybe even less time. Cost for smog check is very reasonable too. read more

I dropped in with no appt today and Jeremy brought my car right in. It was less than 20 min because I had a 2000 car . If your car is older than 2000 it will unfortunately take longer because of the extra tests. It's not the neatest or the cleanest place but that's knit picking. The work was fast and accurate that's what matters. I do recommend them for your smog going needs. Also $5.00 discount for new customers who use YELP read more

In and out in 15 mins. Called and made an appointment and went in on time. Easy peasy. I also like how chill the dude was and his description on the yelp page ... "just a guy with a smog machine tryin to pay student loans ..." lol read more

I would totally recommend going here. The owner was friendly, my smog check was fast; he was done in about 20 minutes. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable going to automotive/mechanic businesses, but the owner walked outside and met me in the parking lot and showed me where to sit down. Wonderful customer service! read more

Fairly quick, although longer than the 20 minutes promised. Quick or not a waiting room would be super nice! Good professionalism and customer service. read more

I wish there were more smog stations like Smog Express!! THEY'RE THE BEST!!! Jeremy helped get my daughters' car smogged quickly and respected the "Yelp" discount ($5). Jeremy and his crew will get EVERY smog check on EVERY car I own from now on. GOOD JOB GUYS!!! read more

I wanted to give this local business my support.. Took time off from work thinking I could get in and out within 15 minutes like everyone said... & their sign says no appointments needed. I made it by 4pm and after pulling in they guy literally tells me... "Not today - I'm done for the day" didn't even give tell me to come back the next day or timeframe... nothing ... what a disappointment. Off to Mikes Auto I go... way better reviews anyway. read more
