“Very kind, honest owner. Explains all processes and issues, and is nice to talk with. Shop can be a little tricky to find but it is just behind some other businesses shielded from street view. Would recommend for the fair price and for doing everything right.”

Most smog checks on 2000 and newer vehicles take about 10 to 15 minutes. Older vehicles take longer, and those from 1976 to 1995 need additional functional tests. There is a waiting area at the shop, so for most drivers it is a single short stop rather than a trip you plan your day around.
We serve Citrus Heights, Sacramento, and the surrounding northeast Sacramento communities. The shop sits on Greenback Lane, which is a straightforward drive from most of the area, and drivers regularly come to us rather than wait for a DMV appointment closer to home.
