Visiting this business was spectacular. They are very attentive to every detail with your car. The staff is very friendly and very professional. I definitely recommend it and I will always return because they offer quality and good service and their prices are the best.

It was a great experience working with Ruben at Clean Planet Smog check, service was friendly and could feel the genuine friendliness. Great repair shop and will be going back to have regular work done.

Because Clean Planet smog check was just down the street from me, I thought I would give them a try instead of my regular smog check place (SMOGGIES) who are on the other side of town. The price was much higher than I had ever paid, but again, I was willing for convenience sake to do it anyway to give this place a try. Mistake. #1) Clean Planet is unprofessional. Their hours posted on the door and online claim to be open until 6:00 PM. Nope. Also claim walk-ins are fine and do not say an appointment is necessary. Apparently not. I took my car there at 5:00 on a Tuesday, and no customers was there or waiting. In fact, it looked to be closed already. I tried the office door and the owner was inside. He said he was closed. I said I thought you close at 6:00 PM. He said come back tomorrow. I thought it was not cool to advertise open till 6PM and close at 5:00. I thought he was rude. I thought I should have gone to Smoggies, GO TO SMOGGIES if you live in Ventura! (More on why later.) Forget this unprofessional rip-off place.Thinking the first experience was just a flook, I thought I'd give this place a second chance just for convenience sake a few days later. Big mistake. So once again, I took my car over at 4:00 PM this time (I left work early to get there in plenty of time) and again, NOBODY was there or waiting for a smog check. The place was a ghost town. I went into the office and said I need a smog check. He asked the year of my car. I said 1997. (Great condition with low miles. Classic. Not an old clunker. It passes every smog. Perfect engine etc.) He THEN said after learning it was an older model (for whatever reason) that he could not do it. I said why can't you do it? It passes easily every time and it is quick (based on previous experience with legit Star smog stations). So he then lies and says he is all booked up. NOBODY WAS THERE. Nobody was waiting. Nobody. Ghost town. My car could have easily been done in 15 minutes max. I said, this is the second time I've been here and you seem to be refusing to smog my car. Why? Why do you not want to smog a 1997? I said it is always quick and easy at the other place I take it to and it always passes. He lied again and said he was all booked but I could go back on Monday at 1:00 PM (when I am working). I said, no thanks and left. Apparently this guy does not want to work. He was probably going to close early again. If you are not going to stay open the hours you claim to be open, you should change your hours. You should not close early and if you only want to take appointments, say so."Clean Planet" is also a RIP OFF. He was going to change me $80 for a smog! Other people on Yelp claiming his prices are fair, I have no idea why they are saying that. I do not recommend "Clean Planet" for a smog check.After I left I headed straight to my trusty smog check place, SMOGGIES in Ventura, CA. Everyone should go to Smoggies if you live in Ventura or nearby. Smoggies took me in right away, charged a TOTAL Of $57 for everything including the cert and sending it digitally to the DMV. Saved $23. My car was in and done within 15 minutes, no problems and passed with flying colors like it always does. Aparently CLean Planet doesn't want or need to make any money or gain any new customers. I will pass the word never to go here and to go to the reliable and truly fairipriced Smoggies for all their car smog checks. Clean Planet = BAD business, UNFAIR prices, Unprofessional. FAIL. Smoggies Ventura, CA = A+++ across the board. PASS.

This is long overdue. Ruben is excellent. You can trust him for quality service, friendly, and professional oil changes, breaks, smog checks, and all around maintenance of your car. I totally feel safe when I'm out on the road and have a peace of mind knowing that he's thorough with my car. Even my little fur baby loves to visit Ruben, getting extra pets from him. Totally recommend Clean Planet Smog Check and Auto Repairs.

I had the best smog check experience of my life this week at Clean Planet. It was so fast and the person who did it was so thoughtful. I am immunocompromised and he wore a well-fitting mask after I requested it. He also wore gloves in the car while doing the check. If you are in the Ventura area, this is the place to go to get this done. Thank you Clean Planet Smog Check!

100/10 RECOMMEND. My husband and I have been going to Clean Planet Smog for the last 3 years, can't believe I haven't made a review for them yet! Ruben is efficient and knowledgeable about taking care of our car. As returning customers he remembers our cars needs and tends to them. We trust Ruben and his business. Big plus for being friendly to the planet. Thank you Ruben and team.

My Jeep needed a smog today and I had a coupon for Main Street Smog. I was recommended to go to Thompson Smog from our mechanic so decided to go there instead. When trying to find it we came across Clean Planet and there was no wait. Decided to go with it since tags are expired and we were there. What a mistake. Ruben was not personable or friendly. He said 20 minutes and my son and I walked around and came back to the waiting area. Ruben informed me that the Jeep did not pass but expected me to pay $60 and come back another day. He said i needed to drive it more but today wad not a good day to come back cause they close at 3. This was at 1:30. I'm sorry but why would I pay for something and then have to come back sometime next week? Not to mention the price is almost double what I would pay for Main Street Smog? Total rip off and I want my money back. Don't go here.

Couldn't recommend a spot more for smog checks, I was in and out within 15mins. The atmosphere here is so friendly and welcoming which is really rare for woman when dealing with car maintenance. Had such a respectful, quick and welcoming experience I will definitely be coming here for any future smog checks and you should too!! Great prices and great service 10/10!

Staff was quick and helpful, and the "eco-friendly" name and decorations are a nice touch, if just a little bit ironic given that it is an auto-maintenance shop. That said, reducing smog emissions is important, so they are doing their part! Took about an hour with no wait time to get smog and oil change, though when I picked up the car there was a moderate waiting line. Must be a popular place!

Smogged my RV here and was impressed with the exceptional customer service provided. Will gladly return for future smog and car service needs in the future.
