It's a family owned business and has always had a great experience here. read more

Reliable, quick, honest service. Sometimes a wait of they are busy but they aren't standing around and are busy smogging cars.

Service was good and I like that he gave me $5 discount. Smog check is $42 and $8 for a certificate to DMV. (Total is $50). Since I used my credit card so I paid another 2-3 percent extra because I didn't pay by cash read more

In need of a last second, quick smog check? No need to look any further than Ad Smog! Located on 16th St and between T and U St, Ad Smog is Star Certified. It is located in the southern Midtown/Downtown border area of Sacramento. At first I actually thought I was stopping at a different smog check business (oops lol), but was happily surprised with how friendly and welcoming the owner of Ad Smog was! They still waived me in no problem and said the check could get done for my Prius. They got my smog check completed QUICKLY. I'm talking less than 10 minutes. I've never gotten my smog check done so quickly before, especially considering I arrived without an appointment! Everything was super easy and convenient! I pulled in, then pulled out of this location with time to spare for other errands! I was charged $55 for this smog check. Definitely higher than I was hoping to pay, but honestly considering the speed and ease in which everything occurred I'm okay with it. I wanted something done quickly and didn't feel like rummaging around for coupons to save a couple bucks anyways. 5 stars! read more

Easy, quick, and affordable. Pay cash if you can, saves you a few bucks. No issues here.

I stopped here with a coupon $31.75÷$8.25 certificate on a day I was downtown for a doctor's appt for my daughter. Might as well as I needed it done as I paid before the due date to DMV ahead of getting my Lexy smogged. I have been here a few times in the past. I remember years back when the coupon was $19.75+$8.25. Those were the days! Hehe. I was parked near Streets of London trying to stop there and use a gift card but they don't open until 5pm! Seriously!? So I called the smog to see if they can still take me as it was closing in 15 minutes. A lady on the phone said no problem after asking where I was at the time. Both near 16th St so very nearby. I ripped over there in less than 5 minutes. He had no cars in front of me. The owner wrote me up, got it done in 45 minutes though he told me 30 minutes. He was cool and told me to check out an auto shop he owned if I need any work done on the car. I paid and he got me out the door. Then I noticed he forgot to give me my key. I walked right back as I couldn't even get it unlocked without the key. He realized and handed me my key. The owner is chill and got me taken care of. I recommend this shop. Look for the coupon in the shopper guide that usually comes via the mail. read more

The smog check was very fast and service at the front desk was good. highly recommend.

I've gone to this location twice for smog service and they're always quick and efficient. The price isn't bad in this economy, and the lady at the counter is super sweet. It's nice to have this place downtown. read more

I've been here at least 5 times in the past 8 years. They are the cheapest and fastest. I've shopped around. Star certified. Convenient location on 16th Street downtown. I've never waited more than 30 minutes. And there are restaurants you can walk to or Safeway to grab a snack. No appointment necessary. The waiting room isn't fancy but who cares. Cash or debt card will save you 3%. I think a husband and wife run the shop. Nice people. Go Here. read more

I needed a smog check done same day, and to not break the bank doing it. AD Smog got me in and out within half an hour WITH people ahead of me in line for under $60 for an SUV. Fantastic value, excellent customer service, and seriously one of the best recommendations I've ever gotten from Yelp. If you need a smog go to them! read more

Had to go in for a same day Star Certified Smog check. Woman at front desk was super friendly on the phone and told me I could come in right away. They have the best price for Smog I could find in the area and I was there for less than 20 mins. They do take card, but if you bring cash you can avoid charge fees. read more

They specialized in smog, quick, precise, reliable, and convenient. Recommend. Good value read more

This is THE place to get your smog check! Incredibly quick, affordable, and the workers are sweet and knowledgeable. I arrived around noon on a Wednesday, and there were about 2 people in front of me. No problem, I brought a book, and didn't even finish 1 chapter before they were done and I was all set! I was there for about 15 minutes. The employee also took the time to explain what I needed to do next, and said that if I needed my stickers quick, I could go to this Safeway (1814 19th St, Sacramento, CA 95811) the next day, as they have a DMV machine. Don't forget to bring your DMV Smog Certification Required paper! read more

Ad Smog - August 2018 prices - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Sacramento, California

I don't recommend this place. They don't know what they're doing. Don't wast your time and money. First time I came in, I passed the functional inspection but they failed me on the visual inspection because of two hoses. They were just plain hoses that are colored red. They told me to fix it either by getting an OEM from the dealer or reinstalling the OEM that came with the car. I found the factory OEM hoses so I just re-installed them. One is colored black and the other is red. I came back to get it retested and they still failed me. They said and I quote, "this red hose looks modded, I can't pass you. If we think it's modded, we can't pass you." I told them the hoses are OEM but they still failed me. The stock hoses that come straight from the factory are RED and BLACK. They failed me even when I installed the factory hoses simply because the hoses didn't match in color and one is red. What kind of idiot does that? Someone who shouldn't be working in smog. The first time I came here, they even questioned me about the intercooler that says "STi". That comes stock with the car from the factory you idiots. By their logic, all Subaru WRX STi which comes with these Red and Black hoses, can't pass smog straight out of the factory which is complete wrong and absurd. Don't waste your time and give them your money. On a positive note, the lady at the counter was nice but the two technicians are complete idiots! read more

Ad Smog - They failed me because my stock Subaru OEM hose, straight from the dealership, don't match in color. One is red and is black. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Sacramento, California

Quick, efficient, and great service. I was in and out of there in under 20 minutes! Consider calling ahead to see what the wait time it like...as a handful of people pulled in behind me and I overheard that the wait time was close to an hour. Thank you! read more

Found A D Smog on google maps. I called and the lady said I could just come in without an appointment. This was a Saturday. You can park in the lot north of the shop or directly in the bay. I dropped the car off and was told around 30 minutes. I walked over the Harry's for some food and there was also a small market event around the flower shop. The customer service was great and the record automatically sent to the DMV. read more

I used to take my 2000 accord here and now my 2014. Glad this business was still here too. Friendly, gets the job done and price was good. In/out service. My cars alway pass. I will always come here & refer others. read more

I was able to get my car smogged as a walk-in and they honored a coupon.

I brought my 1998 Ford Ranger for a smog check. This truck passed smog 2 months ago but needed to resmog for a sale. In between last smog the plug wires were changed out and during that change the computer detected a misfire. It has only been driven once or twice since that event. This company hooked up my truck, saw the computer code for misfire had been reset to clear the check engine light (which will make it an automatic fail for smog) but did test anyway. Evidently you have to start the vehicle something like 20 times or drive it 50 miles before computer will allow that code to pass. All they had to do was tell me to bring it back in 50 miles but instead they ran the test, failed it and charged me $50. Customer service. Take care of the customer and I will bring my other 3 vehicles to you. It was a simple gesture that would have saved me $50 and brought them more business. Instead they focus on getting a dollar now. As you can see in the photo computer states "not ready to test" and it passed everything else. They don't offer free retest either. read more

Ad Smog - As you can see the computer states "not ready to test" so why did they test it and charge me?? - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Sacramento, California

Place is garbage. First test they told me I need to drive the car more and that my FACTORY car needs to have an EO sticker. Car has been as-is and getting smogged since 2006, somehow now it's a problem. Guy at the shop told me to come back after I drove the car around to see the morning smog guy and he can help me get it tested. Morning smog guy says the same thing about the EO sticker as afternoon smog guy. Total waste of my time and money. Go somewhere else and don't give these people any money. read more

This is a great business. Came in at lunchtime with no wait and got in and out within 30min. Not a native english speaker, but offered good customer service. They also offer 1 free retest so you know that there is no fishy business. Charged me $50 which is a fair price for my 2006 sedan which included certificate. I passed on 1st test by the way. I would recommend going here rather than some place without a free retest. In the words of the Terminator, "I'll be back." read more

One of the few smog shops open on Sunday. When I got there, third in line for the service. Watched the tech, he was very thorough, in each inspection of the cars. Did not take long for each car, my car ready to go in what seemed like a short period of time. read more

I smogged my car somewhere else a few months ago and it passed. Brought it here to smog because I was selling my car and it was closeby. The tech failed me because he couldn't read the serial# on my cat. He said my cat was modified which it wasn't. The car is completely OEM. I brought my car somewhere else and they passed me right away. Seems like they'll find any way to fail you. read more

I had a appointment for 2:30 and they waited on 2 people before me. Poor customer service.

Fast and friendly service! I took a walk to Starbucks at Safeway, got coffee, and when I returned I was good to go. Peter was nice and he thanked me for my business. read more

What a great place! Friendly, competent, and very fair price! Highly recommend. Open earlier than other shops in area too!!

Their online coupon doesn't say what the upcharge is for an SUV .. they consider a Subaru Outback an SUV and charge $10 extra, saying $55 out the door plus a mystery $1.29 cents above the quoted price for a total of $56.29. They seemed to do competent work, however and took me right away. read more

Amazing service, quick turnaround and super clean property and waiting room. Would recommend!

Fast, efficient, transparent, and provided a high level of service. Highly recommend this business.

Called last minute for a smog check. Got in and out. Great experience with Jennifer. Quick and affordable for a smog check :)
