Phoned before opening to leave a message to get a same day service appointment. Promptly called back at opening and got a morning appointment! That was so easy!! Arrived at shop 5 minutes early and was driving home 10 minutes later with "pass" smog certificate!! Clearly a 5 star experience!! . read more

Just got my smog done here and it was super fast. And probably the most reasonable price on the peninsula. Really nice local family that has owned the business for decades. read more

Fast, friendly and professional! Easy to make an appointment and turn around is quick. Thanks!

Awesome, honest, thorough, efficient, and friendly people. I love taking my business here.

They charged less than I was quoted elsewhere and were courteous, quick, and had a nice outdoor seating area in a sunny spot to wait.

Great quick service need to schedule your appointment for your historic, older high performance car

What can I say about Jeff & Sylvia?! They are excellent! I can't tell you how much I appreciate them running Clean Air! They always call me back and try their best to get me in for a smog and are expedient at doing smogs and getting my paperwork all set! They are trustworthy and very personable! read more

So many good things to say about Clean Air. First, their smog price was unbeatable. Drove in with a 2500 Sprinter Van with out-of-state registration and walked out paying less than $50 with a copy of the report. Next, our appointment time was met pretty much on the dot and it only took about 20 minutes. They also have comfortable seats in the shade to sit and wait. The gentleman who did our smog seemed pretty confident about the vehicle, and I loved that he didn't have any problems moving it around (it's high and long). After calling around the state for prices, and even waiting at another business further north (but then leaving because it was going to be $90 and they put another vehicle in before us), I have only great things to say about the team here. They were kind, and easy to work with. Totally recommend this shop. read more

My son attends CSUMB and has one of my vehicles with him. The vehicle registration was up for renewal however needed a smog certificate to register. My spouse and I drove down from Northern California and went to another smog shop who stated they were not "Star Certified" and referred us to Clean Air. When we arrived the owner asked us "what time is your appointment today?". When I explained we were in town just for today to handle the smog and registration, the owner stated "Well I can fit you in". Wife handled the paperwork and gave us directions to AAA to finish the registration process. Thank you Clean Air for being accommodating and friendly to us. It was greatly appreciated! read more

I should cut-and-paste Don M.'s review. Identical experience. No appt, in and out in 15 minutes. Exceeded expectations. Price was less than i expected. Great service. My new go-to for getting smog tests done. read more

Easy to schedule an appointment. Called and was able to get in on the same day. Pulled up a bit early. There were two cars ahead of me. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Thank you! read more

After two other non-STAR station visits I came across 'Clean Air'. Rolled in even with-out an appointment and the owner said we can squeeze you in! I was in and out of there in 15 minutes, all paperwork done, happy camper. This is a no frills setup, but they are very efficient at what they do and "Star Certified". The price was reasonable and can I can recommend them as a go to. read more

What a well run business! I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I waited in their comfortable deck chairs with my dog, shaded by an umbrella. The grounds are spotless and the owner is prompt and pleasant. I paid $54. - I didn't need any repairs or adjustments. Highly recommended, read more

Extremely knowledgeable. Great service. Friendly & fair priced. My 99 Dodge Caravan good for another 100k miles

I went to Clean Air for a smog check. I had a problem with a sensor that would not activate, causing the car to fail the test. The technician charged me only when the car passed. Great service. I highly recommend this business. read more

2nd time I pop in without an appointment and both times I've been in and out in less than 10-15 minutes, excellent customer service and best prices around, highly recommend read more

I didn't have an appointment but they had some spare time and took me in. Was in and out of there lickety split so that was cool. It's also easy to miss the turn to drive in if you're not paying close attention. read more

Long time reliable business in the area! They have helped me and my family for years. I have recommended them to many of my friends.

I needed a smog check done on my new RV Van and they were able to accommodate me immediately. Very clean , super fast and owners are very nice . I highly recommend and I will go here again when I need a smog done . read more

Standard smog check processing. In and out with a short wait by appointment at a reasonable price

Geoff is awesome, worked with me to get my 2004 Dodge Magnum to pass even after my check engine light came on..Took his advice and brought back in and got the car to pass.. read more

In & out in a flash. They stuck around during their lunch break (and mine!) just to squeeze me in and take care of my smog check. Great service, reasonable price--I'll be back when I need another smog check. read more

Not open at 9:40 on a Saturday, despite the hours listed here. I'll update this review if I get a chance to use their service. read more

They were really fast, professional, and my car passed smog (Yayy)! It's a Jeep and the check engine light was coming on intermittently but it passed. read more

Made a smog check appointment for a car that had been sitting for about 6 months. They recommended that I drive it some freeways miles before bringing it in. Smog check passed! Such nice people with a great business! read more

Smog check was fast and easy. Called the day before for an appointment. They got me in and the day of it was very fast and efficient (15 minutes)! They're both very friendly and helpful. Just drive slow as you near, because it's an easy entrance to miss, and requires a few U turns if you miss it. read more

I seldom give 5 ratings because I have high expectations, especially not having a lot of money. I first came here 2016, daughter in college, away from home with a used car transferred from another state. We just spent money getting it running for her. Clean Air has great reviews! Her check engine light was on and we were scared of the costs (oh I might add that someone had just ran into her door, smashing it in). So we were on a hope and a prayer. Well.. we were told to leave it, came back.. Jeff repaired it for not much more than the cost of the smog.. Praise GOD!! It's difficult to come to a new area not knowing who to trust, but I am so glad we came here. Sometimes you just need a little good news until things get better. Two weeks ago (7/2017) I brought my vehicle in for smog - passed everything except one says, I'm a gross polluter.. really California! I have a 21 year old Mercedes that has been a life saver for me.. Went to AAA, paid registration and for sticker in window to buy me some time for repairs. I need to check out their mechanic too who has great reviews as well. Oh btw, everyone I've spoken to in Monterey area knows about this place, the owners, staff are so kind. It's one thing when a person can be kind and fair with their gifts but another when they might not realize what a blessing they are in the lives of others.. We are grateful.. May God continue to bless CLEAN AIR!! read more

Clean Air was wonderful. The office woman is helpful knowledgeable kind and very nice. She told me that DM V could register my car. Which was also wonderful. They are fast and even have outdoor chairs and tables with umbrellas to sit under while you wait. read more

Great customer service! Very accommodating with appointment times. Got in before my appointment time which was helpful since I had come in from out of town. read more

We live near Sacramento but my son is going to college in Monterey this year and needed smog done at a Star station. With school and basketball it was hard for him to get in there during the week. I was in town for a few days and called Clean Air (thank you to Advantage Auto Repair for the referral) and they were able to get us in Saturday morning at a time that was perfect for our days schedule. It was Super quick!! We were in and out of there in 20 mins!! Thank you Clean Air for making things easy and for accommodating us! One less thing to worry about for this mama! read more

Called in the morning and was able to get an appointment that afternoon. Once I arrived, the people helping to check me out and do the smog check were friendly and efficient. There's also a nice little outdoor area to sit for the short time your car is getting checked. read more

Jeff is an honest man and I appreciate that greatly. I visited other repair/smog stations because of a check engine light issue. I am from out of state and needed to get my vehicle registered in CA - but my check engine light was on which causes your vehicle to automatically fail. Other shops told me it would cost about $120 to put my car up on the lift to see if we could "repair" the code appearing from the check engine light. I called Jeff and he told me that that was stupid, he'd turn my light off for free and if once the engine had run through the process of verifying all the engine codes and the light hadn't turned back on he'd smog check my vehicle and get it passed. Thankfully the light never turned back on and my vehicle was able to pass. I appreciate Jeff's honesty - it will send me back there for any repairs I need and I will recommend him to any friend who may need a smog check. If you're looking for good, honest business that isn't trying to clean your wallet out - go see Jeff at Clean Air. read more

Friendly, fast service at a local family run business. Two days in a row, I was able to call in the morning and get a last minute appointment. We will go here every time. Also the price was great and they take credit cards. read more

I have been going to Clean Air since the 90s. They are fast, pleasant and have reasonable prices. I recommend them highly.

I needed a star certified smog and a place open on the weekend. They were friendly, quick and helpful.

Small little independent garage. Geoffrey is quick, cheap and has excellent service. Highly recommended! Call first to get an appointment, It took about 30 minutes for everything. read more

Very easy and competitive prices! I was able to get an appointment the next day as well. Finally, they were nice enough to take my car before my appointment and leave it locked up outside the gate for me after they closed...highly recommend! FYI--Google Map will take you ALMOST to their place (it's actually one driveway up through a fenced area). read more
