I hopped on Yelp, looking for a 5 star certified smog place & Lamar reached out in little to no time with a quote (coupon included) & quick availability. He made the entire process super smooth!! I usually go to a place closer to home but the drive to him was worth it. He was so knowledgeable & quick to get the job done. 10/10 recommend!! read more

I got the dreaded notice that my smog check was due and went searching for a local smog check place and I'm so glad I found Midtown Smog! The technician was friendly and knowledgeable and efficient and I was in and out in no time and they took care of all of the communication with the DMV so I didn't need to do anything! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and I know I'll be going back when I need to get my next smog check! read more

Was in midtown and called to see if they had time to take a drop in for a smog check. Owner Lemar answered the phone and was so friendly and welcoming. He said I could come by and would only wait a few mins, as finishing up with another customer. He gave me a quote over the phone and offered their promotion for $20 off (which they offer on their website). Very reasonably priced! I was in and out in about 20mins. Quick service, professional and friendly! Definitely coming back for my next smog check. read more

Quick/efficient/cheerful- what can you say about smog? A little room to hang out in with some sour gummies to pass the minutes! read more

An absolutely seamless and smooth transaction! My daughter found this business and based on customer feedback decided we would take my truck here. (I'm notorious for not finding the "right" vendor for anything!). We weren't even halfway out of my truck and through the parking lot when we were met with Matthew, ready with his clipboard to help us! My daughter shot me the "I told you so look" and before we knew it, the young man showed us to the waiting room, had my truck hooked up and had the results logged in for us! Seriously?! I can't recommend this business any more highly. (PS. It's difficult to find vehicle-based businesses who treat women fairly and honestly! Midtown was respectful, honest, and made sure we were treated well.) read more

Mat was great help this mornings was in and out with in 20 mins. Gave me suggestions for my tpms in my car and how i can get it installed. The service was $54 with my $20 coupon. My smog was complete and sent to the dmv as well!! They answered all the questions I had. read more

I had my smog test today at Midtown Smog on 16th St. in Sacramento and I was pleasantly surprised. At first look I was going to leave because it looked closed, there were no cars there and only one person in the shop. I went ahead with my appointment and found out that it's a new location. I was in and out of there within 20 minutes with a passed smog test. Reasonable price and quick service, you can't beat that now days. read more

This is the place you want to take your car to when a smog is needed. Lemar has the best customer service and unbeatable price in town. Will go back next time I need it done! Highly recommend, he's good business. read more

Midtown smog-- not 5 star certified (yet) they are working on it! Drove in on my lunch break to get it smogged because my car was so overdue! The guy was so nice and it took probably only 13 minutes! He also put air in my tires and informed me of an important recall with my battery! It was $65 dollars! I think it was so expensive due to a fine from the dmv for not getting it smogged back in November... or I got ripped off! But whatever, I'm just glad it's over with' They have a nice little waiting area with water, a candy bowl and appeared to be a mini fridge! read more

Midtown Smog was quick and reasonably priced. Make sure to check their website for a coupon. I input my contact info and they contacted me the same day to schedule my smog appointment. The shop is located on the corner of S and 16th Streets, you can enter from either street. The staff were very friendly and DMV received the smog results the same day. I waited at the shop, it took maybe 20 minutes. If you don't want to wait at the shop, there are at least 3 coffee shops in the area. Midtown Smog has great service, and great prices. read more

Great place to smog! Definitely will be back in two years when it's time to smog again. Thank you!!

I called and was able to get in late in the day. Actually he even stayed late because I got held up with a flat tire. When I arrived he was absolutely pleasant and I didn't feel pressured or rushed. The rate is probably better than others around and the service was the best! This is definitely the place I'll be coming back to and will recommend it to all my friends. read more

Midtown Smog is small and very unassuming - it is right on the corner of S and 16th Street (left hand side), and if you aren't paying attention, you will miss it! Do not expect any bells and whistles when visiting - but expect good service and pricing. they are very flexible in terms of appointment times and will have you in and out within 20 min or so. Lemar was very nice, helpful and efficient. A $49 smog is a pretty good deal these days! I highly recommend them if you are in need of quick and reliable service. read more

Great responsiveness and prompt service. Easy in and out with no issues. Highly recommended!

In and out in about 15 minutes! No BS! Easy location to find and friendly tech. Be sure to mention the coupon price

They gave me a quote and gave me times I could bring my car in for service. All great!!

He responded quickly to my message. There was a deal so got a great discount for the service. I arrived early and got me in early. He was quick and efficient doing smog and explained I failed cuz I didn't drive enough miles after changing battery. He was super nice about everything. I highly recommend this place. Also they give a decent amount of time to come back for your one free retest if you failed. Great service here read more

Really nice man treated me very well. In and out quickly for about $54! Five stars for sure!

Over the top kindness, quickness, and great pricing. Available to schedule via text, overall great experience!

Easy and quick. They keep it simple. Theres a coupon on Yelp. Necessary but painless.

Good price for a regular smog test. After communicating to me that my vehicle passed, he briefly explained a recall on that model, what it was for, & how it affected the vehicle. Got me in & out in about 20 minutes. Would go there again. read more

Midtown Smog was the first to answer my yelp call for assistance and I am glad that they were the ones that I went with. After a quick call with the technician, I was able to set up a same day appointment and the service was done before I could finish my matcha at Scorpio Cafe (highly recommended as well) across the street! All this done for less than $55! read more

Just bought a car from Nevada. Despite it being a 2023 Hybrid CA wanted me to smog it. Wanted to get it done asap and the place I usually go was closed. Midtown smog was open earliest on a Sunday so I decided to check them out. The owner Lamar was working and he's definitely a cool dude. Top quality customer service from him. He was professional and knowledgeable. Kept my car clean and got it done quickly. All for under $50 so I couldn't be happier. Likely be my go to smog spot now! read more

I came in for smog and Lemar helped me, as soon as I walked out of my car I felt the hospitality he offered some snacks, he had us take a seat and he even offered to pour us a cup of water, even though it was two steps away, and I could've easily done that myself. Lemar then proceeded to have a genuine conversation that didn't feel like "elevator talk" all while taking care of the smog. He was so friendly and so nice that I even forgot that I was there for the smog, before I knew it, We were already done! Lemar also gave me tips as my car was approaching 100,000 miles to best preserve its lifespan which I could tell was coming from a place of being genuine and authentic and was looking out for me. I did not expect this kind of service from a smog shop. I am beyond grateful and impressed at Midtown smog. 100/10 recommend. read more
