Such an amazing establishment!!! Rudy is the best, has wonderful customer service, and takes pride in helping his customers!!! Monica is also amazing!!! Every single time I talk to her she leaves me with such a warm and wonderful feeling like she genuinely appreciates my business!!! Literally the nicest lady ever!!! Even after moving from Santa Maria to Orcutt I still drive up town to use this station simply because of the great people and wonderful service!!!! Thanks Rudy, Monica, and staff for all you do and keeping my little junkie cars on the road!!! ;)

I got there early they got my vehicle in fast and had it done in no time! The cashier Dominic was amazing! I go there every time my husband or my car need a smog.

Excellent service. I am disabled and the guys load my propane tanks in my truck for me. And a 5 dollar discount if I get more than 7 gallons. Smogged my vehicle faster than I have ever had done before.

I appreciate that I can have my car serviced in a timely manner. I can make an appointment and car is finished when they say it will be. Everyone is very helpful, the customer service couldnt be better.

Made an appointment online that was very easy, showed up for my smog check and was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Rudy and Jeffrey were friendly and professional. Great experience! Thanks

Fast friendly service. Very professional, customer satisfaction a priority. And you get a discount on a propane refill.. Family owned and operated.

Great costumer service, very frequently and fast service. I really like it and the smog check was very quick even without appointment.

Just recently went here to get a smog and the customer service was terrible. I was quickly talked down to and disrespected just based on the catalytic converters, on a truck that I inherited. Im sure not everyones experience will be the same as mine, but as for me, I will not be returning.

Always pleased with Main Street Shell! Such prompt, courteous service year after year!

Super nice staff, really took the time to fit me in. A hidden gem.

I have been taking all my cars here for smog certifications for several years now. Today, I accidentally came a day early for my appointment and they were able to fit me in right away. The service is always fast and the staff are always friendly. My 2 year old even had a good time talking to them while waiting!

Rudy & the crew are very professional & courteous, got my car SMOG certified and done in a jiffy...thanks guys.Highly recommend.

Excellent customer service.Quality work done in a timely manner.Honest, professional, knowledgeable & reliable service with all of my concerns/ issues.I have referred several friends, tenants & acquaintances to your place of business & they have all been extremely pleased with the outcome of the various services provided.I would recommend you to everyone I know.Sincerely Honestly & Respectfully,Olga Light

Second car I’ve had to Smog in the last few months. Made appt once & walked in the second time. Both times they were prompt, friendly and professional. Will definitely continue to bring my vehicles.

I showed up really early for my appointment today for SMOG services expecting to have to wait. They took me right away. Before I knew it, my vehicle was ready.I couldn’t believe how friendly and efficient they were.I will definitely refer anyone I know to this business.5 stars!!

Same day performance of task. Expedient, polite, informative

Very much satisfied.

Everyone here is very nice and professional and they did my work in less time Amazing !! Thanks 🙏

I love how fast the service is and they are super friendly. I have been going to them for a few yrs now. I highly recommend !!!

Excellent prompt and friendly service.

My smog test failed and they said to leave my car with them let them do a diagnostic test and they will get me going with a pass, I did and the next day my car had a pass certification and they fixed it for under $300 bucks, was so worth it, I will go there again and again the mechanic was awesome, friendly, and a gentleman named Rudy

Excellent and quick service. Definitely coming back!

Always super fast and friendly!

Great service and quick turn around

I got my smog certificate here two years ago they were so efficient and nice that I brought it back again today same thing even with Covid efficient super friendly in and out in like 20 minutes will keep them in mind for other services for sure

Great Service! Thank you again. God Bless you all🙏

Nothing but the Best Service as usual, JB and Monica make it so easy and quick !! excellent !!! Thank You

The people at the Shell service station were polite, professional and very speedy with their excellent service.

I did a walk-in as I wasn’t sure what time I would be done from a different appointment. They got me in within 45 minutes. Super friendly, professional and had me on my way with smog in hand in no time!!! I’ve always had great experiences getting my smogs done on my vehicles here at Main Street Shell in Santa Maria!!!

Always a pleasure to do business with this shell station! Everyone is always very nice and polite. I’ve always been able to go in and get my car smog without an appointment and they were very quick to do it!! nice to have in the neighborhood!

I am a retired Smog Check and repair technician. I have over 50 years of experience in the automotive industry. I am also a Disabled Veteran. My last job was working at a friendly competitor at Old Orcutt 76 Main Street Shell has been my go to place for any repairs that I didnt want to or feel like doing myself. Patrick is a fantastic Mechanic/Technician and Person. He has earned my complete trust.I also have my Smog ✔ and propane tanks filled there. I have the utmost respect for Monica, (Owner). Her smile is contagious and makes you feel like family.

Fast service, honest and friendly staff.

Fast and efficient. Do not forget your coupon but if you do, show them the online coupon...Always get my vehicles smog tested there.

Went in for a smog check, the K&N filter sticker was missing. JB gave me advice how to obtain sticker.Definitely will come back and complete smog once sticker is replaced. Thanks JB.

Excellent service! Made an appointment for a smog test. got there and there was no waiting and they took me right in. it only took about 10 minutes and I was ready to hit the road again. they even gave me a discount with a coupon that my husband accidentally threw away in the trash but they still gave it to me anyway. Very friendly kind professional and quality service.

We have taken our cars there many years for smog checks. This time we took in our big truck and the tech was pleasant, punctual, and professional, as usual. Were very happy with Main Street Shell.

Quick and EZ. Make sure you call in and make an appointment because they are busy sometimes. There is a Subway just across the street and by the time your done with having a bite to eat it should be done.

Used a coupon to get my truck smogged after making an appointment. They were on time and quick and I was on my way. The best place in the area to have your vehicle smogged.

I got their 45 minutes early for my SMOG appointment. They got me in early. Quick and professional. I highly recommend them for your car care needs.

After reading some of the reviews I was kind of hesitant to go, but I went ahead and called and set a time to take my car to them. I was told to be there before 1230, and when I first got there I noticed who seemed to be the owner, unsure I walked up to him who was standing inside the smog section of his store, and told him I was there for a smog, he explained he was going at lunch, so that would have been a whole hour I would have had to wait, but I got there dive til 1230, so I said to him, well the lady I talked to said as long as I made it before 1230, without any hesitation he told me to pull my car right up, so I did, was attended to immediately, all staff was super friendly and professional, I was there for about 15 minutes tops, and I was done, I would highly recommend them to anyone, great service all around.

Right off the highway, the cheapest and the quickest in SM & Orcutt combined. They offer the smog check at $10 less than the rest ($44.95) to be exact. Everyone else is $54.99 and above. Highly recommended.

I love coming to Main Street Shell for my car needs! Monica always treats us with utmost curtesy and very friendly! J.B is very professional as well as the rest of the staff. I would highly recommend Main Street Shell to anyone wanting quality service at a reasonable price.

Great and quick service as usual.

Service was thorough and on time

I was scheduled for 945 and as I was walking out JB asked if I need a smog I told him yes but not until 945 he said I can get you in now. I was so greatful because I live in orcutt. Thank you JB for the quick service. I have been going to them for the past few years and havent had wait. Great job guys.

I have always brought my vehicles to main street shell and have always received the friendliest help. The people there are very helpful and kind which makes it so easy to keep coming back. From getting a smog or oil change to filling up with gas its always a great experience. Thank you main street shell for being honest and trustworthy in all the work that you do...

Hands down best service I’ve ever received before during and after my smog check. I called to inquire about a smog check they offered to schedule an appointment that morning. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Whats even better everyone at the station had a smile and willing to help. Thank you

Took my older Corvette in for a smog check. was pleasantly surprised... Personable, quick service, bathroom was super clean... They offer an internet coupon that saved me $10... Im a happy camper!...

Weve been smogging our vehicles there for years. The people are friendly and Ive never a problem scheduling an appointment for the next day when I call. They can get busy sometimes, but the wait is usually not too long. Sometimes I just go across the street and have a Starbucks coffee while I wait.

They offer fast and professional service.

They took me in right away and we’re done quickly!! Thanks Main St. Shell

I took my car in for a smog check and will be going back for all future smog checks. The mechanics and front desk person were all very friendly and efficient. The price was 30% less than what I paid last time at one of those chain locations. I also like the location; youve got fast food places and a Starbucks right there so its easy to pass the 30 minutes needed for a smog check. I was also able to gas up my car while I was there which is something you cant do at the chains (two birds, one stone).

I have had great experiences at Main Street Shell for years. My wife and I get our smogs done here and all of our auto repair work. Friendly staff, clean property, and always willing to go the extra step for us.Getting propane here is also quick and easy. I recommend Main Street Shell 100%.

Did our last two smogs there. Fast, affordable and they were really nice. Headed there right now to get another smog! Update: No longer a STAR certified. I won’t lower the rating but I wish I would have known this before driving from Shell. 😐

Quick accurate service on all types of work needed!

RIP OFF! I went here to get a smog check. They ran and charged me for the smog check even though the Check Engine light was on and it failed. Most places will not run a smog check when the check engine light is on because it most likely will not pass. They never mentioned this so I was never given a choice on whether to run the check. They wanted to charge me $220 to diagnose the problems!!! If there was a problem they said it might be $500-$800 to fix it!!! Instead of getting ripped off on the spot, I went home Googled the codes and bought $120 of parts which FIXED THE PROBLEM!!! I went back to get a recheck and they wanted to CHARGE ME AGAIN. I said HELL NO. When I brought up the check engine light they said I should have known. I asked to talk to the manager who still refused to re-check it then said the person that ran the original check was the owner. Its not just their employees but, the owner himself. THESE GUYS WILL PREY ON IGNORANT CUSTOMERS.

The worse smog shop ever. Extremely rude. I have a 93 Honda that they didnt even wanna smog cause it was apparently missing since heat tube But when barred as a California bar to get my swap legal everything was hooked up the same way. Then they have no desire to tell you the problem and how to fix it.

Greatest smog experience ever!

Great place to go to.

I have always taken my cars to them for smog testing. They are fast and friendly. I found a great coupon on Yelp.

Always courteous, prompt and efficient! Thank you Main Street Shell.

Always reliable and fast good service.

This place has been performing great smog checks for many years.... great service and great prices!!!

JB is great, awesome family business!

HUGE RIP OFF!! Do no get a smog here ! They have an online coupon that says $24.95 for a smog then charged me $44.95 for it”accidentally” and said they could not refund me because it already went through on my card. They were extremely rude about it when I tired getting my money back I couldn’t even believe it ended up leaving without my $20 and I’m so upset about it.

Been going here for years to get propane and smog checks on all our vehicles . Theyre always friendly and quick with my smog checks.

Good place, good service, friendly staff all the way to closing time. And of course they have all my favorite snacks too

People were friendly, but not helpful. Got my car smogged and I didnt find out until I got home that it failed. No one cared to mention that my car failed emissions or explain anything to me?? Horrible service. Dont go here if you want people that care.

Scheduled smog test with them.They handled that fine.The car didnt pass. Oops!They made it seem like it was gonna be long, complicated and that they would need DAYS to repair the car because it would take such a long time to clear the diagnostic codes.They said they would know more after doing a full diagnostic, for $368..... That price seemed really high to us so we called around. Everyone elses diagnostic was only between $110-115.So we went to another shop who repaired the car for a few hundred dollars, it passed smog, best of all and they finished in one day.

Clark always does a great job at keeping my car running and safe. They are very honest!

My car failed smog because of black smoke coming out the back but there was no black smoke coming out the back. I was informed for $150 they could fix the problem right then and be on my way. Instead I went to another smog shop that passed my car and laughed about how a lot of their customers come from this place with failed smogs and mechanics trying to get extra money out of people. I wouldnt recommend this place ever.

Super clean bathrooms! And Rudy on duty was friendly and cheerful.

Spotless bathroom, many pumps, nice and sudsy window washing fluid.

Its as fucll service as it gets there daysWonderful.group of fellows

Had an appt for a smog check at 8AM, I was done and out by 8:15. Coffee was offered so that makes great customer service 😊

Trusted source for smogs, tune ups and of course gas. Clean, friendly and easy to get to.

Went in for a smog test without an appointment and got out in less than 15 minutes. Awsome!!!

Easy and friendly service. Went in for smog check. Will go back.

Good prices and selection of monster energy drinks🚲👍

Best priced high quality gas in town.

I have my grandson take my car here whenever it needs an oil change or any type of maintenance. They always do a good job and keep my car in good shape.

Very quick and efficient with their smog checks even when they are busy. Always get my smog checks done here.

They are amazing.

Good gas right next to the freeway. Gas over priced tho

The worst gas prices ever in Santa Maria 3:45 for regular . These guys are scammers theres a gas station in Arroyo Grande that has it for 289 a gallon for regular that place is so much better get places much cheaper place is much friendlier to I used to go there when they are gas prices were low but now theyre too high even the gas station across the street near Jack in the Box is expensive too no wonder nobody likes going there if they raise it up too high and Santa Maria supposed to be cheap

They work on cars to, as well as being a gas station.

👍

Very very small general store. Like closet size.

If youre looking to get a propane bottle filled in Santa Maria this is the place to go.

Excellent service

Theres a troll working behind the counter with a bald head

Honest! Reliable! Friendly!

Cheep cigs

Good gas

Rude group of people

Friendly

Clean bathrooms!!!

Awesomeness!!!!!!#
