Conveniently Located Nearby

Straight Down Auburn Boulevard

Dave's Smog & Registration has one shop, at 6234 Greenback Ln #B, Citrus Heights, CA 95621, and none in Roseville. Roseville is the only city that shares a line with Citrus Heights, so from the south side of town the shop is a short run down a single road.

  • Auburn Blvd south to Greenback
  • STAR certified smog check station
  • Renewals, titles and VIN checks
  • Walk in any day, 8 AM to 7 PM

Riverside Avenue leaves Douglas Boulevard and changes name to Auburn Boulevard inside Roseville, then runs about three and a half miles south to Greenback Lane. Turn east there and the plaza is a few hundred feet along on the right.

Roseville sits in Placer County, which makes no difference to the test. The smog check is a California program and we send the result to the DMV electronically, whichever county your vehicle is registered in.
