This smog facility or at least their technician is a joke. Yes, after calling, they said right away to bring my 2001 Toyota Tacoma pick up right in. Now this truck has never not passed smog and I specifically asked Fernando who is the smog technician if I need to do anything special before the test I told him it was up to operating temperature he said no, it should be fine. He then proceeded to conduct the test and come back and tell me that it failed and try to charge me $31. The reason for the fail is that the catalyst was not ready everything else passed except for the catalyst was not ready it had not been driven long enough to do the onboard emissions test. I was pissed as I specifically asked him if I need to do to do anything special the guy is an ass read more

I called around to find a place that could get me in today and this was the only place that answered their phone. Super nice guys said they could get me in. It took less than 15 minutes and was only $40 for my smog check!!! I'm super happy with the service and price. Would absolutely recommend!!! read more

Fast, efficient and friendly. They value your time and get right to it without wasting time. If you need a smog check this is your place to go to! read more

Very quick in and out with nice professionals. Call ahead to see how busy they are first, as it is first come, first serve.

First, I showed up at 1:00 pm and a handwritten sign on the door said out to lunch, return at 1:30. I returned at 1:30 and waited 15 minutes but nobody showed. Call before you go. I returned and was treated in a very brusque and cold manner, very businesslike but not friendly. I had failed a test for visible smoke before but had addressed the issue. He said there was a second mechanical issue in addition to the first and failed the car. He spent a long time gunning the engine to see smoke. I asked what I could do to fix it and he pushed a business card of a nearby mechanic across the counter. I went back to the original shop later and a big red screen popped up saying this vehicle had failed. I told the mechanic I had taken it to Smogs 4 Less and he just said "Oh" and nodded his head. The car passed at the other shop. They tested the mechanical issue and did not find a problem. I give him two stars only because he is cheap. But the retest cost me even less. I though I would get a second opinion and it was close to work, but going here was a mistake. read more

Quick, pleasant, professional. They service one car at a time, so call ahead if you're in a rush.

Dropped my car off at 9:45am on a Monday for a smog, was back on the road by 10:10am. $40 even, good customer service. Quick & efficient.

Very quick and amazing service, best smogs in town by far, would recommend to anyone in the Monterey County area. Ralph always accommodates his customers to make sure they are receiving the best service and that they are happy with their services. It is also very clean and he makes the process easy and stress free. Go Smogs 4 Less!!! read more

Great service, Great price will defenetly will come back really like how professional staff is

Great! Experience. I got there with no appointment at 8:30 am on a Friday, I was greeted very nicely and it was told it would take 20 minutes. It sure did. They even have a modest but functional waiting area. They free have Comcast internet if you are a Comcast subscriber. I was incredulous when they only charged me 20 bucks or so for the test on my beloved Diesel X5. It was quiet enough I was able to do work on my Mac in the waiting chairs. Great experience I was greeted very nicely. Good work to the staff and yes I don't give 5 stars unless the place I visit is a disruptor in the market they serve and an innovator. For now feel free to bring your family etc safe area. All good. I will definitely do business there but knowing me I can't keep a car that long since I just trade them in..bad habit I know but that's another yelp review when I wonder to the dealership..stay tuned.. read more

Read the reviews, thought I would check it out. So glad I came. I was in and out, $40.00 and out the door. Highly recommended. The staff is friendly and will return with my other vehicles. read more

in and out in 15 mins, nice staff, pleasant waiting room, $31.75 will definitely go again...

Great in and out. There was one car in front of me. The lobby is not fancy, but I wasn't there for hotel service. It took 20 minutes total. $40. Outta sight! read more

Been coming here for years. Great fast service. In and out. No appointment. FAIR prices

Very fast, very pleasant service. They don't need magazines in their waiting room because no one has time to read them.

This is the best place For a smog check. The staff is friendly, very fast, and very informative. I highly recommend

Amazing. 15 minutes and $40 later I was done. The fastest and cheapest in town. Place was a little difficult to fine. Has a little 3 seat waiting room, but no big deal because you're only there for a few minutes. Staff was nice, informative. Definitely would recommend. read more

Have been going to Rafael at SMOG 4 LESS for quite a few years. He's always nice and pleasant. Handles cars, people, phone ie multi-tasking, quite well. Only one time we were held back with an appointment, when the vehicle ahead of us was having trouble passing Smog. That customer was respectful yet obviously concerned since vehicle was fairly new, so, he of course had questions. Rafael remained businesslike and understanding, explaining some known probable cause. One thing we've learned is if you make two or more appointments in a day, allow a couple hours between. Rafael's other location was a bit larger, more outside room to maneuver, especially when we take in our 26' RV. It was exceptionally clean in work area, the desk area and waiting room. His new location seems smaller, and darker and very tight area for driving large vehicles. We had a specific appointment time, and waited 30 minutes. Once our vehicle was in, he had it completed in a short time, apologizing for delay. It might behoove him to hire front office person. Dealing with money, the State, the required forms, phones, a veteran or retired person would be a great investment for all. Rating 4 stars for lack of front office help. Plus, Rafael needs improvement in customer service communication. We have no problem passing along his business cards. Price is right, too! read more

went in today and got my husband's car smogged. super quick! even with other customers a head of me. the guy was very fast. wish i remembered his name. he had a mustache.... anyways, he was nice. good prices. they do more than smog too. definitely will be going here from now on for my next smog. no appointment needed. just walk in and walk out. thank you! read more

Excellent service. Very friendly once I rolled up to the shop. Extremely fast (though I was the only one there). Within 5 mins of them taking the car in, it was done. Cost efficient as well. read more

Great Service. Took my Diesel VW Wagon in for a "smog" check. In and out fast and charged less than half what the dealership had quoted!

I had my wife's car smog-checked at Smogs 4 Less two years ago. The job was done quickly with no hassle. I returned again this year and had the same experience. As long as the Sate of California requires a smog check, I plan on returning again - probably two years from now - to get it done. read more

12/28/15 I drove in at 8:00 a.m. for a smog test and I was driving out by 8:17 a.m. (passed). It was the fastest smog test I had ever had. I drove home and grabbed my other vehicle and drove back. By 8:45 a.m. I drove home with both of my vehicles smoged. Rafael was great with his friendly, fast, efficient, no-nonsense, get 'er done attitude. Take Abbott to Spicer (next to Primecare) and follow the curve to his shop on the right. Rafael, I thank you! read more
