Their website, coupons and advertising say that they are STAR Certified. I dropped by here earlier today, and they are no longer Star Certified. Two stars for wasting my time.

I have been bringing my car and truck here for years to satisfy the DMV registration requirements. I have always had fast, friendly service, and they have some of the best prices around. I recommend this small family owned local business to anyone looking for a smog test.

Good place for a smog. Fast easy but service was just okay. Little attention to customers but hey, my car needed all the attention I guess. Good regardless.

Very nice clean place! Tina is there to take your information and credit card. She and her husband run the business....She is very, very nice and must be the reason the waiting area is so clean and comfortable. I have a '92 Ford Taurus, hard to find near-by places that can take me right in but I passed and was done before I knew it. I'll be back next time and would recommend this place to anyone who needs a Star certification Smog test. I was impressed! read more

Pricing was comparable to the prior ownership, when the shop was El Camino Smog and Repair. This was a relief, as El Camino had been servicing my car for years, and an ownership transition is always a gamble for the customer. They still offer a comprehensive, multi-point vehicle inspection included with oil and filter change services. One caveat, if you have a faulty TPMS sensor be sure to remind the shop to check your tire pressure before any other services are performed. This is a step that may be missed if they move forward in the inspection. I addressed this with the management and received a very kind, well thought-out reply. Jay, who is one of my favorite mechanics, still works there. Always a plus! I recommend this business.

If you need an honest, knowledgeable, and fairly priced auto repair shop near Gold River or Rancho Cordova, I'd definitely recommend them. They've worked on my 2017 Ford Transit Connect, 2014 Mercedes GL63, and 2014 BMW X5. They replaced a driver-side CV axle, did oil changes, replaced brake pads and rotors, diagnosed and fixed an A/C and heater blower issue, repaired a trunk/liftgate problem, and also replaced a valve cover and gasket and battery. What stood out to me most was how knowledgeable, honest, and fair Samson and his team were throughout the process. The staff are friendly, the front desk is welcoming, and the customer service has been great. It's hard to find a shop that does quality work at reasonable prices, but 916 Auto Repair has done that for me. Definitely recommended.

I contacted 916 Auto after doing a 2 and half week research (which included Yelp and Google…read moreReviews) to have my 2004 Mazda 3 AC Condenser (Factory OEM) replaced. My AC Drier was cracked and inoperable since last year. In this region of the Sacramento Valley and Placer County, 916 Auto quote beat 5 shops I contacted in the region and 1 shop even told me it's not worth it and I should get a new car. Bet if my car was a 69 Camaro, they'd do it. Why? Cause its a Classic Camaro. No matter the condition. Some shops don't want to work on Imports. But oh well. Their loss, not mine. I contacted 916 Auto and spoke to Samson to schedule an appointment and he said to come by that very same day. And so I drove from Roseville to Gold River that morning. Samson is honest & to the point. When he pulled my car in, he noticed a coolant leak. Now I didn't notice any leaks in my driveway, as it would seem the Coolant is evaporating or dissipating, but he notice it was getting on my Alternator, by the stains. It turns out, my OEM water pump (factory part since 2003 for this model year in 2004) finally gave out at 262K miles. Who'd ever think a Mazda/Ford part would last this long. This was an unexpected thought as I only had budgeted for the quote. So I called my CFO (Wife) and let her know of the issue. She said get it fixed and she'll adjust other expenses as she knows I need AC for the upcoming summer temps. So I authorized Samson to proceed with the entire job. Now I can't couldn't do any price comparison, but he did give me a discount which still fit in my overall budget. I spent my whole day in their lobby. They have updated their lobby to make it feel more comfortable and less Auto Shop feel. I notice the many people who drop by to have their car service are all happy and are returning customers. From a Dealership oil drain plug that was torqued too tight, to oil changes, brakes, and even a customer who was a bit upset where the Dealership sent the wrong part twice. The Dealership. I spoke to many of them and they all had the same answer when I ask. "What made you come here?" They replied, "Their price can't be beat!". In summary, my AC is now working as it should. Now I only used my AC for 2 whole days It gets cold and it has been awhile since I have felt cold in my aging car of 22 years. With my new water pump installed as well, my car is running smoother overall. Smoother shifts, heater gets warm fast. Almost, now almost like it was in 2004. So, Did I find a new shop for my Project Commuter Car? Yes I sure did. They have gotten a new customer. Up next is my Transmission Gasket & plug. One thing at a time! Have fun out there & do your research!

I stopped there first thing in the morning and when they went to work on it, they showed me a 3rd tire that was wearing in the same pattern as the first 2. So, I ended up purchasing 3 new tires along with the alignment. But from start to finish it took less than an hour.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service I received from your team during my recent visit. With my registration deadline looming, I needed to get my smog check, oil change, and registration services taken care of promptly. I'm thrilled to say that AA Smog went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. Right from the start, I was greeted warmly and professionally. The entire process was incredibly smooth and efficient, thanks to your knowledgeable and attentive staff. The smog check was completed promptly, with a clear explanation of the results. The oil change was done meticulously, ensuring my vehicle's optimal condition. And the registration services were handled seamlessly, saving me both time and hassle. The level of customer service I experienced at AA Smog was truly exceptional. Your team went the extra mile to ensure all my needs were met, making me feel valued as a customer. Thank you once again for providing such top-notch service. I'll definitely be recommending AA Smog to all my friends and family.

I went in there today to get my Lexus Smogged. Worst customer service I've experienced at an automotive business ever. There was a new guy in the office, I'm not sure if he is the new owner or a new employee, but very rude guy. He tells me my car will take 15 min to get done. I said oh not bad sounds good. My car took 45 MINUTES. That was not too bad either, but then he try's to tell me that the motor in my car is not original... like wt does that even mean... So I asked him why do you say that, he tells me that the hoses on the engine are not all black, there is a different color hose on here so that's why the motor is not original. I asked him if the car passes the test with the computer, and he said yes but he said, he will not pass me because he doesn't know if the motor is original or not, which is obviously original, but he would know that if he knew wt he was talking about. The guy doesn't know wt he's talking about, rude, and doesn't have any customer service. Will never be going back here ever again in my life. And I would recommend the same for you unless you like dealing with uneducated rude technicians that don't have a clue about wt they are doing under the hood. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting AA Smog for a smog check on my vehicle and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The staff was highly professional, knowledgeable and genuinely courteous. The premises were clean and comfortable, making the waiting period much more pleasant than I initially anticipated. Their service was incredibly efficient. I was in and out in no time, yet they took the time to answer all my questions and explain the process, which I greatly appreciated. Their attention to detail was remarkable and it was clear they took their job seriously. I was also impressed by their fair pricing. It's refreshing to see a business that provides such excellent service without overcharging their customers. This certainly sets AA Smog apart from other businesses in the same industry. In a world where good customer service often seems like a forgotten art, AA Smog truly stands out. I highly recommend this business to anyone in need of a smog check. I will definitely be returning for any future smog check needs. Keep up the great work, AA Smog! read more
