    Jamboree Smog makes getting a smog check quick and easy! Sure there may be cheaper places around, but Jamboree Smog doesn't require reservations and they're open 7 days a week. If you get their coupon, it's $60, including the certificate, for cars 2000 or newer and you get a free car wash! The staff is friendly and there's an open air wait area with refreshments. Plus, they have a pass or you don't pay for cars 2000 or newer.

    Just walked in and it's just so cheap, quick, and easy. Nice service with car wash :)

    So accommodating fast and efficient! Everytime I come here it's always quick and I love the free carwash with a smog. They also hook it up with discounts! They have two bays to quickly work on two cars at a time. They have a chill lounge area with drinks and snacks. Great spot for a quick smog

    Popsicles, waters, candy!

    Staff members here are super friendly and fast! Lounge area is convenient with refreshments and even chargers for customers waiting. Plus you get a discount with AAA as well! Will definitely come back.

    Look at the colors in the soap for the free car wash.

    Come here every 2 years for a smog check. They are STAR Certified and are super quick. You don't pay if you don't pass. People are friendly and their lounge is always clean. They offer free water and sometimes candy or freezer pops. They also have chargers you can use to plug in your phone. Look in their site as they offer a discount. Plus, you get a free car wash to use within the next month and a free drying towel to use. We will definitely keep coming back.

    They answered all my questions and the phone message was comprehensive covering all the details of their service and pricing. They offered a $20 off discount but that just made their $60 fee for a smog check the same as other places I checked. They do offer a free car wash afterwards and no charge if your vehicle doesn't pass the check. There was a covered open air customer lounge to wait for your service to be completed. The staff were courteous and speedy. If you need a smog check then give them a try.

    Ask the Community - Jamboree Smog

    I recently bought a car, but the seller did not provide a smog certificate. Can I still bring the car in and have it smogged so I can transfer the title to my name?

    Yes you can

    I have a fuel leak, will that effect the smog check?

    Not recommended to get a smog with a fuel leak.

    How much for a smog check on a 1994 Lexus es300 with 84,000 miles?

    I don’t think it matters the car model. I paid 39.00 and also received free car wash worth 10.00. May need coupon which you can google and get

    Will I fail the smog check (test only)if my TPMS light is on?

    No, the TPMS is not part of the smog inspection.

    Does 1985 TVR 280i ( officially imported to US) show up as listed vehicle? It was federally certified?

    If it’s a gray market vehicle ( a vehicle that has never been federally or California certified) it needs to first go to the California state referee. You can make an appointment with the state referee at asktheref.org.

    Do you do obd1 car?

    Yes we do

    Do you inspect brakes & lamp?

    No, we are a Test Only smog check station and are not licensed for anything else. You can go to https://www.bar.ca.gov/locator to locate a break and lamp shop near you.

    If I can't find my vehicle registration renewal, can i still get a smog check?

    Yes. The renewal paper just makes it easy because they scan the barcode. If you don't have it, no issue. They can still perform the smog check and it will update in the system. You can then just go to the California DMV website and pay your renewal… Read more

    Do they take American Express?

    Yes

    If the car is newer than 2000, but the port is on the driver's side, does the employee need to be inside the car for the duration of the test? Trying to determine how long someone else would need to be in my car for Covid concerns. Thanks!

    When I took my vehicle the technician inserted the scanner and came back when it was done scanning the system. He did not even sit in my car when inserting the scanner into the port.

    Can I stay in my car for the smog check if I don't fell comfortable letting in one inside my car?

    If your vehicle is 1999 or older then unfortunately we need to drive it on the dynamometer so it’s not possible for you to stay inside the vehicle.… Read more

    It is possible to have a smog check without letting an employee in my car due to Covid?

    Actually, I was asked by the employee to stay in car and follow his directions to operate my car for him during the smog check process. The employee wears mask and you need to wear mask too.

    What are the fees?

    The fees very based on the year and make of your vehicle. Request a quote with your vehicle information through the “Request a Quote” tab and we will provide you with a quote specifically for your vehicle.

    Do you do oil change?

    No sorry we are a test only smog check station and we do not provide any other services. There are six other shops in our complex Jamboree Plaza that provide oil change and repair services.

    Do you send the results to DMV after passing?

    Yes there is an additional $8.25 added to the smog check labor for the certificate the DMV requires.

    Do you guys smog Tesla's?

    LOL

    Pass or free? If the car doesn't pass, you get a free retest? Or the test itself is free?

    We offer pass or FREE for vehicles 2000 and newer so if you vehicle doesn't pass you don't pay anything. For 1999 and older we charge the smog check fee whether the car passes or not but we give you one free retest with in 90 days if the vehicle… Read more

    Thank you for the reply. I'll make my question a bit more detailed I'm trying to get a certified weight ticket on my truck for military move, I don't know if that's something you can do?

    Sorry it took so long. I think that the system only sends out a notice when a question is first asked. You might have changed the original question so it didn't notify me that there was an update to the question.… Read more

When my warrior developed a loud rattle during my latest OC trip, I had it towed in to Steve and his team for an estimate and repairs. Glen kept me informed every step of the way, and called when the original estimate had to be revised (the rattle came from a worn AC compressor...not a cheap fix but well worth it). I was also advised which additional items needed attention ASAP, and which could wait til next time. John left some big shoes to fill when he retired, and Glen stepped into them nicely, in keeping with the TAS tradition of friendly, reasonably priced service. My car was ready when promised, and I was back on the road rattle-free and ready for the next round trip from SD to OC and back. Thank you Steve, Glen, and the techs who worked on my car :)
