I was driving around on my way to find a place who did smog tests. I was waiting on another place to open when they never did. So on my way I seen a sign and this place grabbed my attention and I pulled over. They are moving to a new location on greenback. The front desk guy was super nice. Gave me his card. When I checked in at on yelp I got a coupon. Nice employees. I paid $60 which is a bit pricey but I needed the service since I needed my tags. Friendly people. And quick service. read more

I received a notice from the DMV that I needed a smog check. My main criteria was to find a place that was open and closeby to where I live. This place is conveniently located on Greenback Lane, close to Auburn Blvd across the street from the Mexican drive through, Adalberto's. I first called and the guy on the phone was super accommodating and upbeat. He gave directions and said I would need to go to the back. Easy enough, There was no one else in line, so I was given the test immediately. It cost around $70 for everything. I had no inclination to drive around looking for a less expensive smog test. Main criteria had already been met. The guy who handled it was wonderful, a lovely older gentleman who provided good customer service. My car was in and out quickly. I will definitely use this smog test station if needed in the future. read more

I was quoted $68, and when I asked if they could do it for $50, the response was pretty dismissive and rude. It felt unprofessional. I live in Loomis, where the going rate is around $55. I reached out to this place because it's on my way to work, but it's frustrating that businesses that act rudely like this are allowed to stay open. He also mentioned a Nice car when he sees a new car he will charge you double. read more

We will defiantly continue to bring our cars here ! read more

LART SMOG was such a great experience! From the moment I messaged the business via Yelp, the owner was helpful in locating the best time to come in and the service they provided. When I walked in, the owner treated me with a happy smile and excellent customer service! The appointment was quick and easy! I am so glad I came here and will be back in the future for all my smog and registration needs! read more

Thanks LART N TAGS, see you next year! read more

Straight forward and honest business. I highly recommend this place for all of your smog needs.

Been spending my weekend getting things done on my car. Messaged a few places about getting a smog done. Of course we all know how California wants smogs done. Was glad this place responded quickly and good price fair price. Other places quoted 100 or more on my 98 Mercury. Sent messages through Yelp and they were very quick to reply. Thank you for getting my Smog done and quickly. read more

Walk-in, super friendly and helpful. Quick smog test, and I was on my way! Will be going here from now on.

I went in for a SMOG for my car, and the staff were quick and friendly! The shop was very clean and they are transparent with their fees! I highly recommend! read more

Nice, quick and honest! Not sure of the guys name that does the smog work but he's great

This place has gone downhill since I first started getting Smog clearance here. The old man is lazy. Doesn't know how to drive a manual transmission. Sad because the store employees there are really nice. I still pop in once in awhile. read more

I experienced very professional service. The owner was very friendly and the service was fast.

I mad an appointment and got there 10 minutes early, but the people inside never told the person operating the SMOG machine that I had an appointment and he had already turned off the machine and wasn't willing to do it. They did point out another place (close by) that could do the SMOG and luckily we made it there before they closed (5 minutes). I was disappointed since I had spoken with LARTs a few times that day in setting my appointment and they didn't honor the appointment that I had taken off early to get to. read more

He's a really nice guy and usually no wait, super fast and quick. I recommend also they can give you tags and reg there as well.

I'm a long time customer, been taking 3-4 vehicles here per year for about 10+yrs but never again. Brought one of my trucks for smog check so I can sell it. Passed smog at this same shop back in July for registration with no problems. All emissions passed fine but guy spent over an hour inspecting this time, making calls, running to manager until he found something. I assume because clearly it has a few upgrades but all the same as last time. Said failed for modified exhaust headers not having a tag. Okay, I get it covering his butt. Left shop bought stock replacements at Orielly's, changed out, went back next day (Today). Lart Smog says doesn't have tags and still a modified exhaust. Cost me an extra $200 on new manifolds which are California legal, lost sale of truck, and can't smog when nothing illegal is in my truck. According to Orielly's and Dorman the manifold manufacture "tags aren't needed for the stock manifolds!" So dissatisfied with this shop now, I feel like they're just trying to gouge for more $ on retesting! I will be filing complaints with BAR and BBB. read more

Nice facilities for customers with expert quick service. The move to a new location where their only focus is smog was a good idea. The staff have been part of the Citrus Heights neighborhood for years. I highly recommend then. read more

Fast and easy process, g​reat price, ​very nice staff and very clean facility! I highly recommend them.

Brought my truck to get a smog here when the smog was done I showed him the 10 off yelp coupon and he did not take it. don't have a coupon on yelp if you are not going to honor it read more

This use to be my go to stop for gas, since it's on the way. Unfortunately today was my last time coming to this place. This review is based on customer service inside the convenience store, not for the smog shop. I had to stop in and pick up my receipt, and the clerk that was working (around 1pm) was extremely rude, I couldn't understand why he had to so loudly voice a customer's personal information while there we're other patrons around. Very unprofessional, and he probably should go through another round of training. Someone didn't want to be at work today! read more

Nice new facility, the owner is a very nice guy who helped me get my car smogged. Referred me to bar to get a ref to help pass my car, when it failed. I had aftermarket catalytic converters that were installed in Nevada, non California compliant, but federally compliant so the car would've passed easily, just didn't do to aftermarket cats. The first smog tech was a very nice guy too, but The second smog tech there James Creed is rude and disrespectful. I came in for a retest after getting approved by the state of California and he said "yeah we'll see if it passes, I doubt it" (literally nothing wrong with my car, besides having aftermarket cats. Then when it did he said "I wouldn't have passed this personally, but if California does then whatever" "what a joke" and then said "you should've just left that thing in Nevada" referring to my car. He was also very rough when doing the smog check. He seemed very irritated for some reason that California accepted my magnaflow cats. read more

Stopped in to smog check my Subaru and discovered that they also offer full vehicle registration services. I walked out with my new registration and tags! What a huge time saver! Highly recommend this service. read more

Took over an hour for a smog. And guy performing it saw that my car has aftermarket intake and a wing and assumed it was a different model than it is. Even thought it brings that info up when he scanned the vin, he made me prove it on Carfax or he was going to fail me for the intake. And $60. Won't be going back there again and recommend anyone check elsewhere before coming here for a smog. read more

I was in and out in 5mins for my car smog. Passed with flying colors. BEST SERVICE EVER!!! I paid under 50$ plus the guy was nice and added in a free car wash. After the car was done and I payed the owner said it's hot out grab a free drink on your way out... such nice people wow I'm actually very impressed with this service :) thanks!!! read more

Service was excellent got a smog and a car wash smog was very fast and efficient was in and out less than 15 minutes will be back with other cars. Price was higher than other places but well worth it read more

I called a couple of places to get my smog check done, and when I talk to the owner he stated to bring my vehicle down right away! I was in and out in less than 10 minutes, and he even gave me twenty bucks off without me asking. Great customer service, I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs to get their smog done. read more

If I could give this 0 stars I would. Smog guy was rude and either lazy or didn't know what he was talking about. Maybe he also didn't care so much because I was there for an advertised smog special. The person didn't like the way a weld looked near the cat on my exhaust. The cat is oem but the person said it was aftermarket and someone replaced it. I told him it was never replaced and he said "I don't care what you say" then he walked off. I then took the vehicle to another smog station down the street. The employee had the owner of the muffler shop next door take a look. The muffler tech said the cat was definitely oem and the smog person obviously did not know what he was talking about. So don't waste your time with this place. Go somewhere else maybe pay a few dollars more and get someone who knows their stuff. read more

Ok ive never seen anything like this. Not only did this place smog the car in like 3 minutes, but they did it happily and after 5pm when they close. To top that, it was the cheapest in the area! Even gave the kids balloons. They Definately have a lifetime customer! Went over and beyond and then some. Thanks larts, you made my day read more

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! I went here and I got my car smogged. The car failed smog and the tester told me that I most likely needed a new catalytic converter...I had just put in a new one a couple weeks prior, so I knew that wasn't the case. I took the car to the mechanic and he couldn't find anything wrong. When he looked at the paperwork I got from Lart's Smog, he told me that the reason why my car failed smog, was because they tested my car wrong! My car is a 2001 Buick Century. Cars that are newer than a 2000 do not need the dipstick test that goes into the exhaust pipe. Well, that was the test that they performed. He had me go to his smog guy where it passed smog within five minutes. I called Lart's Smog and told him what happened. he got very defensive and told me that he did nothing wrong. He told me that he did do the right test on my car, and that the law had just changed. right....The law changed in the middle of October within a couple days...I asked for my money back and he said no. The hassle and the extra money I spent on a mechanic and a new smog was definitely not worth The extremely basic "free car wash." read more

I have used this smog station several times in the past and never had a problem until now. It has always been a good deal with the PennySaver coupon and free carwash. I arrived this time with no cars ahead of me so zero wait time. They have a new smog technician and this guy put several grease stains on the car from his dirty hands. You would think with not being busy he could wash his hands before putting them on a white car. Also while he was doing his underhood visual inspection of the vacuum lines he was too lazy to remove the two bolts that hold down the plastic engine cover. He pulled on the rear of the cover to bend it out of the way so he could shine his flashlight and see. During the whole time no others cars showed up for a smog so I don't understand his laziness in not removing the plastic cover properly as he was under no rush. To be fair if I was selling my car I would still go here for a smog. If it's a car I'm keeping and just doing a smog renewal I will not. read more

Went inside to get some smokes, sunflower seeds, and some refresements at about 1230 on 7/23 and the clerk was a impolite and rude jerk. Got up to the counter and asked for some Marlboro's and with my hands full he barks at me for a ID ( eventhough im covered with tattoos and clearly over 18, but its the law...i understand) but to bark at me two more times while im still unloading my hands is rude no matter how you look at it. Then once he does have my ID he decides to say my birthday out loud as if i want the store to know, then he doesnt even read the right date, i had to correct him and tell him the correct date-what was actually on my drivers license. Finally i had a mobile coupon for the smokes from the Marlboro.com (who clearly identifies this specific valaro as a participating store for the mobile coupons) and he refuses to accept it, even after i point out that Marlboro.com states that they accept them. He just made my whole 10 min quick stop vary unpleasant. Last time i ever go there. Do yourself and drive to the chevron & 7/11 down at auburn and 80 next to Kmart. read more

A clean large gas station with everything you need in one place! Gas, shop, liquor store, post office, real estate agency, SMOG test and car wash. The place is clean and well maintained. I like this SMOG station because the people are very nice and helpful and they have the machines to test my older car as well as my wife newer one. (most places can't do that anymore). read more

Looks much better than other gas stations around, Clean and big even has a car registration service.
