    I Needed a last-minute smog check and gave this place a call. The owner said to come by, since there was no one yet so please come asap and I was taken care of right away. Super knowledgeable, friendly, fast, and even cracked a few jokes. I was in and out in under 30 minutes, couldn't have gone smoother!

    I went to this business because I needed a Smog certified place. Place was clean, the person I presume is the owner was very nice and pleasant to talk too. In and service, the website says 15 minute service and I was out in 10. Plus the $5 off from the website helped. Great value!!! I will be bringing in my other cars for service.

    Hans a sweetheart but just no.

    Han was kind and efficient but I don't like the owners policy on credit cards. $2 is exorbitant and greedy. And it's for credit or debit! Who tf charges for debit!!!! They have up signs for Apple Pay and don't even have it!!! My bank refunds external atm fees, I would've had no problem getting cash ahead of time, IF I knew. Their page says they accept credit cards, nothing about a fee. I have issues with paying to pay for things. And again $2 is ridiculous. No issue w my smog, poor Han. He told me customers bitch about the fee all the time. It's not his fault he's just employed by someone who has no issue gouging folks. Hard to recommend places that take advantage.

    Quick friendly service, even with 1 person working! Our family had been a return customer for many years .

    It doesn't get much better than this.

    See all

    Great service! The guys were able to test my car quickly. The prices are fair. I've bought my vehicles here several times.

    Best customer service. Always gets you in and is really fast. I also think they're family owned and run.

    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.
