Smogged and good to go!
Ryan S.

I requested a service quote online through Yelp, and Chan (owner of 5 Star Smog) got back to me super fast. When I met him in person, he was really friendly and professional. The shop was clean and easy to find. He's super knowledgeable about smog testing for cars of all ages and was honest / fair about the pricing. He performed a quick and thorough job on my car, very easy. If you're looking for a great local business, you've got to check him out!

We needed a star certified smog and we put a request out on Yelp to get estimates for the smog check invite SUV. They responded quickly with a great price quote. I took it in the following day and we were in & out quickly in under 20 minutes. The service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend.

Here his is after he insulted me and refusing to do the work after he started the work.
Tim A.

He did not want to honor his yelp estimate I offered to pay more for having a card to pay with, but still refused to lower the price then he called me names and insult me in front of other customers. I agreed to pay the higher price but he still would not finish the work. He has a history of abusing his customers and not honoring his estimates. Please go to USA smog just a mile away and avoid him. I'm sure he's going to reply to this and you will see what kind of person he is. His front window is bashed in and now I know why. He replied with an abusive comment.

Smogged and ready to go!

See all

Ask the Community - 5 Star Smog

Hello, Could you tell me how much to do a smog check for a 2003 Accord coupe? Will you provide free re-check if it failed the first time? Thanks!?

Yes, we do provide 1 free retest. Please call us to for pricing.

What if vehicle doesn't pass. I have a 1989 Chevy Silverado 1500? Mechanic said no reason it should t but what if it doesn't?

You would still have to pay for the smog inspection that was performed. Whether is fails or passes. You then would have to take it to a shop to get your truck fixed. You will have to pay again for another smog inspection.

Is this a "STAR" smog station? If yes, what is the cost?

Yes, cost varies depending on year of vehicle. Call him or message him on Yelp and he'll get back with a quote.

What is the charge for a 99 Sienna?

$35.00 sounds wonderful. But Is there an additional charge if you have a SUV and another charge for the smog certificate?

First of all... he will try to overcharge you $75 for smog not $35. Then he will try to charge you $10 or more if you have suv and around $8 for the certificate.. pretty much whatever he feels like or try to get from you. And by suv even the mini… Read more

Midtown, East Sacramento

Jiffy Lube has become one of my go-to oil spots whenever I'm in the Downtown/Midtown/East…read moreSacramento area. I'm in a lot of different areas for work, so having a reliable place I can count on in this part of town makes a big difference. Every time I've stopped by, the team has been consistent--quick, professional, and respectful of my time. They get the job done efficiently, and I've never felt pressured into unnecessary services, which says a lot these days. They also do a good job checking the basics like fluids and tire pressure, which adds real value and helps catch small issues early. The location is super convenient if you're already in the area, and it's easy to swing in and out without it turning into a whole ordeal. That kind of efficiency is huge when you're trying to stay on schedule. Whether it's just a quick oil change or a basic checkup, they've been dependable every time. If you're in Downtown/Midtown/East Sac and need something done without the hassle, this is a solid spot to keep in rotation.

The headlights in my car are difficult to access, so I called ahead to ask if they could assist…read morewith changing them since one went out. They agreed they could assist and told me they weren't immediately busy and could see it promptly. I drove over immediately and let them know I was the person who had called about the headlights. They asked if I needed any other services and even though my oil change wasn't due for another 500 miles, since I was there, I said they could do ahead and do the oil change. When they were finished with the car, I went up to pay, which was the first time they mentioned they did not have the bulbs and could not change my headlights. Since that was the entire reason I brought the car in, it very much felt like they took advantage of the opportunity to make some money rather than be honest about what they could do for me. Won't be back.

Price is in the range as expected. You don't need an appointment I think. I walked in, checked in and they took care of the rest. The parking lot is not huge but I didn't have a problem get a spot. The waiting room is clean and if you want to have a coffee they have a coffee machine. I got my car checked in. Sat down and send two texts for work. My seat is not warm yet and my car is ready and brought out. I really appreciate how efficient they are. Had a great experience here and would come back if I ever need to~

It's been a few years, but I finally needed a SMOG check before I could get my registration…read morerenewed. And every time this happens, I can only vaguely remember the last random place I found to get my vehicle tested, via a Google search. So once again, I used Google, and found this gem. The reviews looked pretty good, so I decided to give it a go. I went in last week, after I got off work at 4 PM. Yes, getting down Folsom Blvd during rush hour traffic did suck ass, but once I got to Smog Express, it was smooth sailing. It wasn't busy inside, and the gentleman behind the counter helped me right away. They charged me around $60 ($65?) For the test, which I felt was pretty reasonable. The test itself maybe took 10-15 minutes, and I was all set and ready to go. The service was quick and friendly, and the prices were reasonable. I couldn't think of one good reason to give this place less than five stars. I wish they were located a little closer to me, but that's an MP (my problem), lol.
