Pacific Smog
2039 Del Monte Blvd., Seaside, (831) 899‑8877 pacificsmog.com
Unless you’re a Class A/B/C truck, no need to make an appointment at the most efficient smog check station. That begs the question: If cars needed to be smogged in John Steinbeck’s day would the aging author have needed an appointment for his custom‑built camper, Rocinante (from Travels With Charley)? With Steinbeck’s fame, likely not, but you too can feel like you’re treated with kid gloves when the staff sends your car’s passing emissions test straight to the DMV without your having to lift a finger.
