Pricing as of March 2025 (inspection already includes cert. fee)
Gillian A.

Smog test spot that's right off of the I-5. Friendly and humble technician. He seemed to be simultaneously working on another car at the time and I ended up waiting a little over 30 min. Competitive pricing in the Sac county area. Not a drive-thru service; park in the side lot first and then check in at the office. Minimal but clean seating area.

My smog check was due and I usually follow my dad's recommendation for smog stations. My experiences have been meh in the past and usually I go more towards Sacramento for smog checks. I found Laguna Smog after a quick Yelp search and saw the great reviews, so I sent a Yelp message to the business to setup an appointment and a quote is offered, too. Nick (believe the owner) responded quickly and mentioned that no appointment was necessary, which was super convenient since my work schedule can be unpredictable. I appreciated that the pricing was transparent, since you may not get the chance to ask during a walk-in appointment, as the process of getting checked in can happen so quickly. I've also seen other businesses where reviewers can charged unexpectedly higher prices, as well. The shop is in a cul de sac and there's a sign to indicate where you should park. I was quickly greeted by a person (presumably Nick). He had me fill out info about my car and I provided the car key. I hung out for about 15 minutes and the smog check was done! The price was as quoted. They definitely take card and there's no extra charge for it. Service was friendly. I would highly recommend coming here for your smog check and would definitely come again!

See all

Online it saying this location is permanently closed. Is this true? I have been going here for about 13 years. Anyone know if the owner opened a new location or is this closed for good?

This location is still open with no changes. Shop open M-F 9:00am til 5:30pm and Saturday 9:00am til 3:00pm.

However, I came in last minute on a Friday morning, and as soon as I parked, someone greeted me, went over the cost, and let me know about how long it would take. I was in and out of there very quickly, and thankfully, my baby napped the entire time! The customer service was great! I really appreciated how quick and easy they made the whole experience.

The O'Reilly auto parts store down the street told me to come here after I first went to the Toyota dealership who wanted me to wait 4 hours just to diagnose my old battery and Les Schwab told me they ended up not having the battery I needed after waiting before they even looked at my car. I called here while driving from O'Reilly and was immediately placed on hold for almost 10 minutes before they finally talked to me. I was already in their parking lot by the time they answered and they told me there was no wait to get my battery diagnosed and/or replaced so I parked and went inside. Man that was a mistake in hindsight. What was said to be no wait ended up taking roughly 2 hours total. It felt like others who came in after me for oil changes and other services were getting served faster than me while I had what I thought was just a simple battery diagnosis and replacement. They also kept telling other people over the phone they had no wait and they should be in and out within 30-45 minutes. They gave me a 30 minute quote after replacing the battery as well to make sure everything was good which felt even longer than that. I also noticed when I got home there was a brown looking spot on the battery label. From what I researched it could be an anti corrosive material and is normal or it could be a potential leak if it spreads so I'm really hoping that it doesn't already have a slow leak. Overall, from this experience alone, I honestly can't say that I'll be back anytime soon unless my new battery suddenly starts having issues while under warranty. The price was also not great at $270 for a battery that may not last as long as my original battery from when I bought my car roughly 6.5 years ago. While I'm glad they were able to see me on short notice and replaced my battery, I felt like it took an unnecessarily long time for what seemed like a quick fix. I'm mostly just upset that I was quoted no wait as I was on the phone in their parking lot then spent nearly 2 hours which ended up in me having to cancel certain plans.

My mother is 87 years old and she had her van ran into in a hit and run in the Raley's parking lot…read more The damage was minimal but the insurance company decided to total the vehicle rather than fix it and pay her off instead of repairing it. Therefore it became a salvaged vehicle. My mother was not ready to part with her most beloved van so she bought it back from the insurance company and went through all of the hassle to be able to re-register it again with DMV, including a brake and light check. That was two years ago. Then came covid. Last year she sent in her check and smog report to get her renewal but it never came in the mail. She does not use computers and for the next year could not seem to get past the recorded phone messages with DMV. Finally the DMVs opened up again so I took her to one of the offices and waited in the line that wrapped around the building with her. I was not able to actually go inside the building with her due to Covid protocols so I waited for her in the car. She notified me once she had returned to my vehicle that they had lost her break and light documents and she had to have the inspection done all over again. She tried to go back to her original brake and light place in West Sacramento. After waiting two weeks for her appointment they told he she had to leave the vehicle all day just to get a 30 minute brake and light check and the lady was very obnoxious to her. I hate people that are not kind and patient to the elderly. She takes care of my father who has dementia so she could not stay and therefore still unable to get a certificate. I looked up places on Yelp and found SMG. They take drop ins so I decided to take my mother there. We arrived there at about a quarter after nine on a Thursday morning and was instructed to turn around and get in line with the other cars waiting on the other side of the street. They were quite busy but they still were very patient and took the extra time to help my mother and they treated her just the way they would want others to treat their own mothers. By ten o'clock everything was taken care of and we were on our merry way. We can only hope DMV does not lose her certificate this time.

I unknowingly got a nail in my tire and they were kind enough to repair it for free as well check out my other tires to ensure they were safe. It was great that they did so since my rear passenger tire had a small screw in it. Parking is easy to find in their large parking lot. There's plentiful seating in their lobby and if you're hungry or thirsty, there's several neighboring places you can quickly grab something from. The lobby and restrooms were clean and well maintained. The employees worked efficiently, hard, and safely. Everyone was polite and professional. I was very happy that both were repairable and it was a pleasant bonus and surprise that they fixed everything in a very timely fashion. I'll definitely consider them when I'm in the market for tires since their prices seem to be pretty competitive. Thank you for your kind and empathetic service with a smile and your knowledge and professionalism. It was greatly appreciated on a long and stressful day.

Free flat repair includes tire patching if it is in a repairable area. Tires eligible for repair must be less than 10 years old, no dry rot/cracks, and meet their minimum tread depth requirement. If the tire is leaking from the valve stem they will also replace it. Free wheel balancing is also included. Tires can be ordered from tirerack.com, shipped to this location, and installed. They do not have a installation deadline which is convenient and relies on the customer to schedule an available time. When I ordered tires it took me a month before I had time to have them installed. There were no issues with them storing them for longer until I had time to come in. There is an area in front of the roll up doors where free pressurized air is provided to ensure tires are the appropriate PSI. I've relied on this location many times for free flat repairs. On a recent visit for a free flat repair for my trailer, the associate was friendly, and fast. She replaced the valve stem in less than 5 minutes!
