Best smog check in the SCV, with competitive prices too!
On my last smog check (done elsewhere) I stood in an alley watching the guy smog my car. This was after haggling with him over the price of the smog check. He wanted to charge me extra for my mid-sized SUV. I know someone who owns a smog check place in Ventura. Per him, there are no extra costs for them to do this, it was just a money grab. Looking at their Yelp reviews, I was not the only one they put the squeeze on.
Enter Simply Smog. I did not want the hassle. The other place I had gone was $45 for a smog check. Simply Smog was $48 out the door (includes certificate) with the Yelp discount or coupons they always run. So off I went.
There was a wait, with 4 cars ahead of me. This was not a problem. They have a comfortable waiting room in the garage area with free water, sodas and coffee. Not good enough? There is an inside waiting room with big comfy couches and plenty of reading material. Still not good enough? How about the free wi-fi too or the bathrooms that are "checked hourly" to ensure they are clean. As an added bonus, they are open Sunday too.
All in all, these guys run a first class operation. My car passed the smog check. There was no up sell on anything. The people working there were polite and courteous. What more could you want?
This is my second visit in the past several years and it was just as good then.
