I needed my first smog check and found this place. Employees very helpful and friendly! I would go there again! Highly recommend going here! read more

So quick and easy. Did it while I waited less than 30 minutes. I forgot my smog paper and they still sent it to the DMV

Quick and simple took about 20 minutes. Would recommend if you're in Camarillo. Good price.

Great local business. Always professional- there's no one else I would go to for a smog test. Always quick and a good value.

We were in and out in about 30 minutes for a smog check on my 2017 Nissan Sentra (that I knew would pass). I think it was $60, which seems reasonable. read more

In and out in 15 minutes. No hassle. I highly recommend this place if you need a smog check.

Fast reliable service. I would recommend this business to anyone who needs a smog check on their vehicle.

Very quick and easy trip to get my last minute smog certification done. There was 1 car in front of me and it still only took about 25 minutes with no appointment. The worker doesn't speak but was very polite and made everything super easy. I would definitely recommend here instead of waiting hours at another shop. read more

In and out, about 15 minutes. Due to owner's vocalization challenges, don't call. Just show up. read more

Not sure what some of the comments are referring to, my experience was very professional and fast. Keep in mind, this is only a smog place, they don't offer any type of repairs or diagnostics, maybe that's what people don't understand? The service I got from this older gentleman that couldn't talk because of a disability was truly great. I was in and out in under 20 minutes and everything including the price seemed fair to me. The car passed the smog, and I was on my way but I had read some of the negative reviews on here before coming and almost didn't come because e of them. I'm glad I ignored then and decided to judge for myself. Afterall it was just a smog check, it wasn't anything serious like mechanical work or anything like that. If you know your car has problems passing, then maybe don't come here, go to a place that is a repair shop and also does smog checks? Just a thought. read more

Great price, fast service, and right behind food options if there is a wait, which there hasn't been. I got a smog check done in no time at all on my lunch break, 2nd time I've come here for one and will continue to come back. read more

Smog Check Only - The Smog shop - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Camarillo, California

Not the cheapest but definitely the fastest. The guy there was a hoot he made sure we were in the "right" car, apparently everyone tries to smog their new car. Quick service we were in and out in 15 minutes. read more

Yes. The owner, who has a speaking disorder( I still love him, he is great) help me thru a very difficult smog. I have been going to him for over 8 years. Fast service my opinion great place, love the owner ( Have some understanding for his disability. he Is awsome) read more

I'm a fan of a business whose name is in its title. As it says Smog Check Only. I've taken my cars here for years to do smog checks. I always go right when they open on a Saturday and am in and out in like no time flat. They take credit card, you just fill out the paperwork. They get to work and they records get sent to the DMV for you. Seriously not much else you can ask for. Only tip is that this is behind the store fronts in the center so just drive around the back and it's in the corner. There's also another auto repair place, so try not to get confused. This is a singular garage in the corner and there's a place to sit while you wait. read more

Thorough, fast and efficient service. Really nice folks working there as well. I will Continue to go here.

They seem to me to be more knowledgeable about the smog check process than most. When something must be fixed, they give clear and precise instructions on what to do. They may lack some frills, but if your goal is to go there, get the certificate or the info needed on what is blocking the certificate, and get out quickly, they are great. On a personal note, I also like their collection of magazines. read more

Very fast, easy and great experience. Phoned in, drove-in and out in 15 min or less. I am definitely coming back for the next smog check.

Came for a smog check, they knew I was there before everyone else, they intentionally ignored me and then once they started servicing others they then told me I wasn't in the right line. I'd been coming here for years prior but will no longer return. They don't value you or your time. read more

I needed a smog certificate to register my vehicle. My family has taken all of our vehicles here if smog certification was required. I went to the shop on Saturday morning and arrived 15 minutes prior to the shops operating hours. Gary the owner didn't make me wait and completed the certification in about 15 minutes. We have been going to the shop for over 10 years and Gary the owner in the past few years has been challenged with his speaking abilities. He is the same kind person that displays character and integrity. He is efficient and professional. He doesn't have to tell you how great his shop is, he shows you by his actions and service. I recommend Smog Check Only, if you are looking for an honest business at an affordable price. Still a 5-star rated business. Thank you, Gary. read more

I was in and out of this place when I came in the morning during the week. There were several customers coming in for service while I was there and the older gentleman running this place was great. He was the only one there and really juggled and handled everything so efficiently. He does not speak, but that did not affect my experience whatsoever. I would highly recommend this place. read more

NOTE: Do not take your vehicle here, especially any older vehicle. I have been coming to this business for the past 8 years for all 4 of my vehicles (2 newer cars and 2 antique 70's/80's vehicles). It was convenient because they never require an appointment and have established trust and confidence in this business over the past several years. As a side note, the older gentlemen who used to run the place does not appear to operate it any longer which may explain what occurred today. Unfortunately, today (about 3:20pm) I had a much different experience. After arriving with an older 1980s vehicle with only 36,000 original miles, only one vehicle was parked in the service bay leaving the other service bay open. After asking the employee if I could park the vehicle near the open bay, he replied, you need to come back tomorrow morning at 8am. I told him I had just driven from Oxnard . He then stated that "these old vehicles take 30-45 minutes and I have three customers arriving soon." He then stated, "this is a re-check, right?" I explained to him that it was not and that it always passes smog. He then said something to the effect of don't come on a Saturday and don't come by during lunch reminding me to come by first thing in the morning. Needless to say, I was so disappointed after being such a loyal customer for 8 years and referring others. A friend of mine called him after 4pm regarding his 2015 Honda Accord, and the employee said, "bring it on in, there are no customers here; it's completely empty." Well, there went my trust after realizing that he likely made up a story about all these vehicles coming in before 5pm. It may not have been a big deal to the employee to turn down a long-time loyal customer, but it was a big deal to me and I plan on telling others about this unfortunate experience. I recommend Smogie's Smog Shop at 3940 Market St Ventura who I visited at 4:45pm and helped me without any hesitation. They even complimented me on my car :). What a difference in service! read more

I bring all our vehicles to Smog Check Only. The gentleman who works there is pleasant and professional. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

Smog Check Only - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Camarillo, California

My favorite place to get my smog check service always gets me in and out in timely manner. certificate in hand.

Great fast service. Went in for a smog check and was out in like 15 minutes. Super fast great service

Great place to bring your car. I was in and out in a hurry. I got my certification and the price was right. Thank you.

Quick, efficient, and very pleasant! In and out in 20 minutes. The facility is clean and has a well-sized customer waiting area. The shop is tucked away along with a few other vehicle maintenance businesses. This was the only shop in the area that was able to take me in during lunch on a Monday afternoon. Thank you! read more

My husband and I always come here for our smog checks, and will continue to. Reliable, honest, and efficient! Shop is clean too.

We have been going here since the 4Runner was just a pup. Now that it is old enough to vote (don't I wish) we are still happy to do business with this establishment. I find it hard to believe that the negative comments here are referring to this business. read more

New to area looking for a good place to get a Smog Check. After reading many reviews I pick these guys. I like Smog Check places that only do smog. There is auto repair and smog literally 50 feet away. When you go don't get confuse and go there. It's the same address, different unit number. I drove up with no appointment and drove right in. I waited only a few minutes ( maybe 10 minutes) and he was done. I paid and left. It could not have been any easier. With Covid instead of waiting in the waiting area which was an OK area, it was a nice day and just walked around outside until he called me over. Regarding one of the bad reviews. If you replace your battery or reset your codes you do have to drive your car for a while for the computer to do all the smog diagnostics. If the status is not ready, all smog places will charge you for the test and say, go drive around and come back for "free". This happened to me 4 years ago somewhere else. For me I had reset a code because I replaced a bad temp sensor. I have the tester (can buy on Amazon) that tells you when all the tests pass. I had all pass except one (Air). I stopped by yesterday and asked these guys how I had to drive to pass this test. They explained. I did that and was back today with all tests in the ready state. I thanked them for this info which I could not find on the Internet. By the way when any smog person will say if your car is not ready to go drive x miles. The truth is, if you know exactly how to drive, you can pass all but the Air one in 20 miles and like 30 minutes of driving. Then you have to start you car when it has sat overnight like three times and you are good. There are write-ups on the Internet of the steps (except the morning start one). Without the tester it is hard to know when you are done. Sooo that is why the smog guys say to drive 100 miles or 200 miles or one person online said they were told to drive 3,000 miles. The thought is the longer you drive the better chance you have done the handful of things the car is looking for. By the way what you then realize is the car is doing its own smog test. All the guys are really doing is looking at your engine to make sure you haven't removed any smog components, reading the status from the car and then sending it to the DMV. About the time the car could just send the data itself to the DMV all cars will be electric. If your car is older than like 2000, they actual do a smog test with that expensive equipment they had to buy. read more

This place is a scam. I have a Toyota Camry, never had an emissions problem. They said my car was not ready but for a fee they could get it ready. I was told $50 at first, then $95 with the new problem, but then after the fact it was $145, then they only ran my card for $140. Feeling uneasy, I asked another place and they asked if my battery had recently died. And yes, just the day before had we replaced it. They said I need 3000 miles of data to pass emissions and there's no legitimate way around it. So I don't know what this shop supposedly did for an extra $100. I should have walked away. read more

Wonderful smog check shop. Was able to get my vehicle tested and passed and within a few minutes we were done. Very reasonable price, nice people and super service. Thank you! read more

While in line to get smog check on my RV my engine light and a warning that said "Check Gauges " came on. I figured it would not pass with the engine light on so was ready to leave, but the workers said to get it tested anyway, that it might pass, and it is up to the machine. If course, it failed. But they charged me 89.00. I highly recommend R & K smog. They are more knowledgeable and did a good job getting it passed. Cheaper too! They had knowledge at R &K that totally helped us. These guys did the same thing with my other truck. Engine light on, tested it anyway and failed. Charged me anyway. read more

They kept it easy fast with no wait and no bullshit. Straight up people and good advice to leave with you.

I won't come back to this business and wouldn't recommend them. First attempt I was there 30 minutes while he tried to smog test my vehicle on two different test systems. He claimed my vehicle was causing his computer problems so I could wait for the system to recalibrate or come back in the morning. Next morning was my second attempt, I called ahead and he said to come by. Once again I noticed that he was having trouble as he attempted the smog test on my vehicle twice. Again he blames my vehicle for his system crash problems. He said I could wait for the computer to reset and he would try a third time. Already 40 minutes of my time wasted I said no thanks and left. I went to Smogsters off of Adolfo Rd. and in about 15 minutes my vehicle was smogged. read more

It's that time again, need to renew my registration with a smog check. Searched and found this place. Called up and the guy said come on over. From start to finish it was about 10 minutes but was very thorough with the visual inspection. He was courteous and professional. Took care inside and outside of my vehicle. read more

I always take my vehicles here for smog check only situations. There is rarely a wait and the work is done quickly and courteously. I've been going here for well over 10 years and always been happy with the service. read more

Fast and easy to make an appointment. Quick competent service. I'll use them all the time.

Kudos to Gary for running a smooth fast operation. He's the best.

I've had three smog checks here at Smog Check Only . The latest one April 2021. They are always polite, professional and quick. Anyone having an issue here is likely just upset because they misunderstand something about the process or their car's condition. read more

A full transaction without a word. Now, that's my type of business. Got the smog check done and back to life in no time. I'm happy and the government mafia is happy they got their cut. I now expect their thank you letter with a little sticker. read more
