    Front desk
    Ida H.

    When that dreaded time arrived for me to renew my vehicle license, I was required to get it smog checked via Star Certification. After checking Yelp for places close to where I live, I discovered Smog Mart located near the corner of Stockton Blvd. & Florin Rd. I called them to see if I needed to schedule an appointment, in which I was told that it wasn't necessary. When I arrived, they turned out to be quite busy, after all, they are a full service repair station. But I was told by a grumpy man at the front desk that I should have made an appointment. I told him that I had called to do that, but was told I could just come down. That's when they went ahead and took me in anyway, but I would probably have to wait a few hours. I didn't have much choice to decline, so I settled in one of their cozy and comfy sofas in the lobby. At least they have 3 TV's above the front desk to keep you entertained. I didn't have any place to be so I remained patient. After about an hour, my car passed the smog test and I got my official certificate to drive my car for another 2 years until I have to go through this again. The staff was nice enough and polite so I don't have much to complain about. That's why I'm giving this place an OK review. Not a wonderful experience but not that bad either.

    No EO required for an intercooler with a factory turbocharger.
    Steve H.

    I'm not a fan of writing 1 star reviews because I'd hate to sound like a brat, but I feel this is warranted as the owner states that he "has to follow rules and regulations of BAR", but still doesn't. I had someone purchase my vehicle that was stock, aside from an intercooler, which is legal to have installed if the turbocharger is unmodified. I sent him to this shop to have the smog check completed because it was close to where he lived. The car failed the visual inspection due to the intercooler and hoses. I replaced the hoses with the factory hoses and it still failed. I called the shop to get an explanation on the failure and I spoke with whoever answered then phone and then Roman, the tech who performed the smog check. After explaining that on Page 49, the BAR Smog Manual states that if the turbocharger is FACTORY, an EO number is not required for the intercooler. Roman didn't appear to know this and said that because the intercooler was not factory, it will not pass. This shop seems to have precedence or believes that their belief supersedes BAR guidelines. They have also stated "that in doubt, they will fail it" despite it being within BAR guidelines. This is crooked. They're failing my car to force me to pay again to get it smogged. Yes, I can go back within 15 days for a retest, but it should not have failed the second time. For reference, from the BAR's Smog Manual - " For the purpose of a Smog Check inspection, inspectors are only required to verify the EO as listed in this table. Any add-on or modified part not otherwise addressed on this table must have an EO and be verified during inspection. See attached photo for the above statement. It is not required to have an EO since the turbocharger is factory and an intercooler is in the BAR table/guidelines. I took this to another shop and explained this situation and the smog shop had ZERO issue passing the visual and smog. I told them the information that this smog shop presented and he said "that is what happens when SMOG technicians don't know what they're doing and think they abide by their own rules". Long story short, these guys made getting a smog a hassle and they don't seem to follow the BAR guidelines for smog. They follow their personal beliefs despite have guidelines laid out for them. I've filed a complaint against this shop with BAR and have scheduled an appointment to bring this car to the BAR Referee for review DESPITE having already passed. The fact they seem to think they can "fail when in doubt" shows a lack of education and contradicts the owners "statement" on why he started this business. It's simply a cash grab for him. I can't recommend another station nearby as I don't live in this area anymore, but I'm sure there are higher rated places in Sacramento than Smog Mart. To the business owner, if you respond, please choose your words carefully. Also, I hope you are ready to still back your technician for falsifying my smog by saying things were tampered when they were not. You have a BAR program technician that will be visiting you about this case next month. Thanks, Steve H.

    Great customer service. Came In at 8:30 and the guy at the counter was very helpful. Fast service and good price. Highly recommend this place for people who wants better and good quality services.

    Wanted  $262. To fix visual issues they said wrong with Vehicle before it will pass.

    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.
