Scott was very professional, clear and concise about everything when I called. When we arrived he was very polite and efficient. Pricing was perfect. I would highly recommend Super Value Smog. read more

Category-killer, wish I had found this shop years ago. Run by an old-school hardworking gentleman. The best, no reason to go elsewhere. Thanks for the way you do your job, I appreciate! read more

Super-friendly, super competent seasoned professional had me out in 5 minutes. He does all the paperwork, even if you've lost your notice, just bring registration (you can pay DMV fees online after smog). Very conveniently located. Don't let the bare-bones look discourage you. read more

Great place! Very kind and helpful in explaining some maintenance needed, and quick smog test. Highly recommend

Absolutely no complaints. The man who runs this shop is super friendly and accommodating. I drove up, waited about 10 min and it took all of 10 min for him to get me all set! Thanks again! read more

This place is the best emissions testing place in the SB area. Super fair pricing, quick turnaround, and not a hassle. Thanks for always taking care of me and my family's vehicles. read more

Scott is the best! SB Honda wanted to charge me $69 for a smog check. Scott did a great job for $34 (cash). He gave me a referral that I needed and got me out of there in 10 minutes. I'll never go any place else. read more

Fast easy cheap smog test. Honest guy. Note he only does newer cars (I believe he said 2000 and earlier) $35.95 out the door with card- cheaper with cash. read more

This place is awesome! Took my car there (first time getting a smog check) and was in and out in 5 minutes. No appointment and no wait time (1pm on a Monday). Paid in cash and total for a smog check was $34 (I think if you use a credit card it is ~$2 more). Highly recommend! Very quick, no appointment needed, and really great price! read more

Don't think it is a scam. You will go, wait five minutes (literally) you will walk out with your certificate. You will pay double if not triple what you pay at this smog check place if you go anywhere else. I hope all other smog check stations closes down. The British accent of the technician was a plus! Thank you! read more

I've been intending to share this for those that may find it helpful and just getting around to it now. I brought my car and my daughters car in for a smog last year and so grateful I found this place. Scotts honesty, integrity and valuable recommendations are such a rare jewel to come across. Not to mention our smogs were done within minutes! I highly recommend this place! Thank you Scott and God's continued blessings to you! read more

I would not recommend this guy, I thought my experience would be like everyone else where it's easy smog and fast. It was fast alright but he told me it wouldn't be able to pass because he needed to see the number on my catalytic converter which I thought is insane. Anyways I knew my catalytic converter was CARB compliant because I did my research. I tried to show him but he didn't have it. Also told me it wouldn't pass anywhere else and they will charge me double. I didn't believe him because I knew it was the correct part for my car. I thanked him and was on my way. Note that I did have to replace it because my other one was damaged. Next day I go somewhere else and it passed with flying colors. So spending that extra money somewhere else was worth it. Only thing was he didn't charge me for the smog so there you go one star for not charging me. read more

The service was fast professional and the owner had me wanting to come back again in the future. He had me pull up to the garage and plugged in the smog sensor kit into my car and within a few minutes was done and on the road. Smog should always be this efficient. Price is good to and respectful of my time. read more

When I called the shop for a smog test, the owner Scott told me the Certificate is free and the price for the test is $23.95 as advertised. But after the test he charged $8.28 for the certificate ! Upon contesting the extra charge contrary to what he quoted me on the phone that the certificate is free he said he is the "cheapest in the City" and waived off my complaint. I would not recommend Super Value Smog for lying to me to get my business. read more

Oh California and it's complicate laws and costly processes... After recently moving to California, I was told I needed to have a smog test as part of my out of state vehicle registration requirements. I thought it was silly since I own a hybrid vehicle, however, you're only exempt if you drive a verhicle: -electric -1975 or older -natural gas powered -diesel -motorcycle Who knew?! The Smog Test is in addition to: -Application for Title or Registration form (REG 343) -Verification of Vehicle form (REG 31) [Note: Can be done through AAA if you're a member) -Out of state proof of ownership (i.e. title) -Smog test -Fee; no surprise there! Varies upon multiple factors including timing you've been driving that vehicle in California, vehicle value, etc. I desperately searched Yelp for a cheap, quick California-approved smog test location and found Kennedy's Super Value Smog. Cost: $23.95 + Certificate Fee + Transaction Fee + Optional Tire Pressure Check (add $5) = $34.00 TOTAL. It is additional if you pay with a credit or debit card, so bring cash. Timing: Although they were fairly busy, I was in and out within 10 minutes. Score! Friendliness: The employees were the "do not fuss" kind who were professional but not overly friendly. The fella's New Zealand accent did help a bit. Overall: It got the job done for a decent price. What more could I ask for?! read more

Found this smog certification location on YELP. Easy to find - entrance off of Guiterrez St from De La Vina St. Pulled in, and only 1 person in front of me. The technician was very efficient and had the smog check done within 10 minutes. Paid by cc, vs cash, (no checks accepted), and I was on my way. Certification sent to DMV and I'll be set to get my car registered online at the DMV site. Great service - thank you so much! read more

The hype is real. Just before 4:00 today my car was smogged and I was out the door in UNDER 10 MINUTES. The price ($33.95 cash/$35.95 credit) was also about $20 cheaper than the place I'd previously gone. Am now a customer for life. read more

Great price and fast service. Ive been going to Scotty for many years, he's the best!

Excellent service! Excellent price! Best in Santa Barbara! It was 35.95. It took about 10 minutes. Thank you!

My car didn't pass & I was given an extension of service for a few days so I could get my car checked out/repaired. Great place to go for a quick, hassle-free smog! read more

These guys are great!!! The looks of the location might throw you off, but these guys are legit!!! They were very courteous and helpful. This is now my new smog shop!! Thx so much!! read more

Amazing service with a smile. Will be back every 2 years and send all friends and family here for the best smog service I've ever had. Two thumbs up read more

I needed a SMOG check fast as my registration is due for March. This place was recommended to me by Figueroa Auto and Repair (whom I really trust and recommend). Scott was so great on the phone and in person! I literally pulled up, filled out the paperwork, then before I knew it I was on my way. Best service I've ever had. After this one experience I know I can trust this place. Highly recommend. Easiest smog check ever. read more

I will only come here for my smog test just because they are so good. The owner is so nice. And they do it very quickly. There is a reason they have 5 stars on Yelp and google maps. Best ever! read more

Awesome experience! Quick and easy! What more could you want... I highly recommend Super Value Smog! I went in yesterday and was in and out in less then 20 min! And the price is more than fair. read more

I'm new to Santa Barbara and am SO glad I was led to Scott at Super Value Smog! This was a quick and thorough process and Scott knows what he's doing. He did a good, no-nonsense get 'er done job, and he was a perfect gentleman. Got my paperwork and then I was done. When I got there, he was finishing up with a customer. I waited maybe 5 minutes, then I was up. Reasonably priced. Process took about 10-15 minutes and, thankfully, I passed the inspection. Being new in SB, I asked Scott for a mechanic reference and he hooked me up with someone with whom I'm sure I'll be pleased with. read more

Easy peasy! Don't be intimidated by the location - Doesn't look like a reputable place so much, but totally legit. Easy in, easy out. For us - absolutely no wait. Car smogged, results sent electronically to DMV. Super friendly and professional. read more

Went for smog check today and it was quick and easy! There was no wait or line. Highly recommend this place!

Very friendly and helpful! Fast service - in and out in 10 minutes! I'll definitely keep going here for smog checks in the future.

Nothing fancy but he gets it done quickly and best value in town. I stopped in this morning and was in and out in 10 minutes and 1 hour later I went on the DMV website and renewed my registration. read more

I was referred here by my mechanic. Drove over and was in and out in 15 minutes. Completely satisfied with the fellow that owns it. He has all my future smog checks,I own 4 vehicles and in and out for $34 is a lot better then all the other $65 places. read more

Perfect! Cheap quick easy friendly.... what more do you need? I can't understand why you would go anywhere else in Santa Barbara. I called around to several places and this was by far the cheapest. One place I went was $90 another $70... Kennedys $34. Don't get me wrong there are certain places and things you wouldn't want to go cheap.... but smog all they're doing is plugging a Machine into your car. read more

I have a half a dozen cars that unfortunately need smog checks every 2 years. Fortunately Scott at Super Value Smog is there with the BDEST price for a smog check. I must add that he is VERY HONEST. I had a "mechanic" in Ventura work on my Supercharged Pontiac and my car would not pass smog even after Ventura mechanic charged me slightly over $3000,00 to replace catalytic converter and fuel injectors etc, Ventura Mechanic could not diagnose problem so I cut my losses and stopped the Ventura mechanic madness. I went to Scott at Super Value Smog and he immediately diagnosed the problem as a frozen idler pulley that was causing the problem. He told me he could fix the pulleys and replace them for about 200 dollars or I could fix it myself and bring it back. I fixed it myself in a few hours and took it back an guess what,,, it now passed Smog. I now trust Scott for his complete honesty....don't go elsewhere , you will be very happy here with Scott. Just hope that after more people find out his great deal he doesnt raise the price too much. read more

I was running out of time for a smog inspection per DMV requirement and Scottie had my car inspected and the entire process completed within 10 minutes! Super friendly, COVID-friendly with masks and distancing, and incredibly affordable! I HIGHLY recommend Scottie and Super Value Smog. read more

Holy @#$!, I dealt with Scottie when he was on the Westside. My vehicle failed because of . . . a blown bulb in the cluster. He said that I have two weeks to bring it back and there would be no charge. He said hurry up, he may be going on vacation, but someone else could take care of it. A few days later, he called and left a message. He said not only was he going on vacation, but he was moving his shop. He stated that it would be more than two weeks for that to happen. He stated, if I wanted, he'd refund the initial charge and understand. He didn't know where he was moving to nor did he know the exact date, but figured it would be within a month. I was amazed at the honesty. I was shocked that he offered a refund as the first thing. That, to me, showed integrity. I called and left a message for him. I stated I was impressed with his honesty and integrity. I said I'd wait. About 10 days after that message he called and left another message for me. He said he knew the location and the rough date that he'd be open. I just got back from him doing the smog. It was pull in, say hi, sit down, he did the job and handed me the paperwork. We chatted about the change of location and he said he is happier at the new spot. Scottie has a customer for life for all of our vehicles. Great integrity, fair price, honest service. read more

Came today, sat in my car for less than 3min while the other car finished up & filled out my paperwork. The smog itself was less than 10 min. Super convenient and fast! Highly recommend. read more

No appointment necessary. Just drove up on a Saturday and was in/out within 20 minutes even with 2 customers ahead of me! Great price, great service. I highly recommend. read more

If you need to get your car smogged, GO HERE! All the guys were super nice, and the smog guy, I believe his name is Scott, was rad. He's crazy fast..I was in and out of there in under 10 minutes. The price was amazing..way cheaper than a lot of places I was researching. Out the door price $35.95 with certification; they give you a $2 discount off that if you pay in cash. Great and fast service, friendly attitudes, and great pricing. Highly recommend!! read more

When I called around, I got a voice machine that answered all my questions (they weren't yet open). When I showed up (with no appointment needed), I was immediately helped in a super friendly way. I was in and out within ten minutes, thanked for my business and paid a fair price. No checks accepted - cash or credit card - which I already knew from the voice machine. Even with the $2 credit card charge, it was still a far better deal than elsewhere. read more

Dude was super quick, friendly, and open on a Saturday! Can't beat that. Thanks again!
