    2006 Scion TC, Smog'ed!!
    Sean C.

    Owner was awesome, I was in and out pretty quick, very precise and very professional wish I had known he was closer to where I live in Rio Linda. I'll be going there for my Smog from now on and highly recommend.

    Friendly staff. However, beware there is a $10 charge for STAR that is not listed anywhere in the fine print. It is not a good practice to gouge on the spot.

    Best Smog in Sacramento!

    Don has been helping me with my car for a couple months and he's AMAZING! He is so helpful and hands down best smog places I've ever been to. Me and my whole family will continue to come here. Super genuine, honest, kind people here. I highly recommend!!

    How long it took

    Took my 2017 F450 there. Called first and they weren't busy. Hit my stopwatch when I walked in and 15 minutes 43 seconds later I was driving away done.

    Rooster!!

    See all

    They responded almost immediately! Took about 30 mins, and good to go. Will definitely use them in the future.

    It is hard to get a motorhome into SMOG shops. Cap City SMOG makes it very easy and efficient.

    This smog station intentionally failed one of our older vehicles even though it passed both the…read moreemissions test and visual inspection. Initially, I thought well it's an old vehicle. Maybe it's finally having issues so I followed Victor's instructions which were to that the EGR system needed to be cleaned or repaired because it was not operating properly. He also said the gas cap had to be replaced because it failed a leak test. The following day I had the EGR system cleaned and checked. I was told there was nothing wrong with the EGR and that the passages were clear. This obviously did not sit well with me after having to pay to have this unnecessary work done. The gas cap was also tested and passed a leak test so yet more money wasted that didn't need to be Wasted. The following day, I contacted Victor Smog shop and asked him to re-smog the vehicle since I had already paid him and explain to him that we followed his instructions and there was nothing wrong with the car. He said, bring it in and he will reinspect it. He Yet again failed it. I reached out to the bureau of automotive repair and looked at the Smog inspection manual. This person Victor is intentionally failing older vehicles because he is afraid they will fail their next Smog and it will affect his score with the bureau of automotive repair smog licensing division . My suggestion to anyone is do not deal with this dishonest person and find a honest Smog facility. This person will take your money and waste your time. I turned him into the bureau of automotive repair. If you have any issues, I suggest you do the same. It is free to report them and they will investigate your concern.

I pulled apart the satellite dome, thankfully it was just the cover that was mostly damaged. But even after all of that and scratching up some of my roof and the dome cover. He offered me a $20 discount for my inconvenience. He's lucky I didn't get an insurance quote and come after him to have the scratches and the dome replaced and repaired.

I sat around North Star for hours and days without these results. My new repairman who I'll give ongoing business to took 2 hours to completely fix everything. If you want to learn what scammers are, this place could be the epitome of the perfect training ground to learn. As a woman who can sprint 13.0mph I'll tell you these mofos are hella slow. If you enjoy wasting your time, give them people your business.
