Ventura Valero Gas

Do Not get your car smogged here if it is Foreign and Older than 2000 because he unfortunately does not know how to test the emission control system. The employee have me advice on what my car needs to pass smog when he had no clue what he was talking about. I took my car to a Volvo mechanic and he said that nothing was wrong with my car. The mechanic referred me to a different smog shop and I immediately passed. The employee who does the smog tests must do more research on older foreign cars.

This is a hidden gem in Ventura. Gas prices are always lower than the area. The smog check is where all my vehicles go. I used to use Smoggies but Thier price just went up. My last time in my jeep needed a new gas cap. The guy called over and had one delivered to the station for a total cost of 2.39. My jeep then passed and I was on my way. Anywhere else they would let it fail and waste your time for a retest. Problem solved in under 30 minutes. You can even wait and get a bite to eat at the café next door.

Perfectly fine gas station just off the 126 in Ventura. I was running on fumes when I stopped in. Gas was easy and convenient. I didn’t go into the convenience store or use the mechanic/​smog station. Just filled up and was on my way again. Would stop here again.

I found a great price on a SMOG. After calling several places around town, the shop said they’d smog an 1986 vehicle for $ 50 (certificate included) which was $ 18 – 33 cheaper than any other place in Ventura. So few places will smog an older vehicle. The price for a 2009 sedan was $ 40 ($ 29.99 plus certificate). I pulled up my 2009 vehicle and got it smoged in about five minutes. It isn’t fancy but I was looking for cheap and quick. The attendant was a funny, older gentleman that was pleasant to deal with. The lady at the register was cordial enough to handle the transaction. I will return to do my other vehicles! I recommend to others.

Great smog station, quick and cheep. Another smog check place told me to come here because its a better deal! They were right it was about 30 $ for everything.

Great service and such friendly staff! They always have great priced gas, definitely the lowest in the area, I always come here. Also got a smog check here for a low price and the smog guy was very nice! Highly reccomend coming here!

I wish I could give zero stars for this horrible place, with it’s awful service and smart aleck cashiers. Sure, you get what you pay for — it’s dirt cheap, but dirty with bad service. The smog checks are cheap, yeah.
But if you are interested in preserving your life and good health, beware! My father (who isn’t even elderly just yet) was walking in today and tripped on the mat out in front of the store front door. It is true that he is waiting for a hip replacement surgery and a little off-​balance, but the mat was also curled up which would cause anyone to trip. His fall or the reasons of it aside, the cashier completely ignored his repeated requests for help. She didn’t call for anyone. She didn’t ask the guy in the back (I assume the owner) to help. She didn’t even say «are you OK» — when there could have been any number of reasons for his fall (he could have been having a heart attack!!). She just kept ringing people up and laughing (people that continued to pass by him and his requests as well).
If you are interested in supporting a business that doesn’t look out for its customers, and that will leave you lying on the floor helpless in an emergency situation, go here. Otherwise I’d opt for one of the many other options Ventura has to offer.

I have been getting my car smogged here for years, and they still offer the most competitive price I’ve been able to find in the area… plus, the serviceman is just a nice guy. thanks!

This is the only other option (other than arco) on the this end of saticoy.
