Tried the Living social deal for $25 to get my car smogged! These guys are fast and efficient! I set my appointment and was in and out within 20 minutes of my appointment time. There is 9.50 fee for smog certificate. The parking lot is horrible but hey drive your car all around for you! Highly recommend this place for a smog! read more

Master Tech Smog & Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Carmichael, California

Wow. Just wow. Their service was fast, prices were low and customer service was amazing. I love this place! The little shop is my new go-to for all my car repairs. I recently came in for an electrical issue on my '03 Impala and was totally impressed. I was told to come around and was explained exactly what was going wrong, where the problem was and how Brian was going to fix it. It's really the little things! I was able to trust them completely unlike other car repair shops who really try to pull money out of you. I highly recommend Shanon and her team to everyone! read more

This was my first time here. Took appointment a day in advance. Smog test was done in few minutes and I got a discounted price for being a new customer. Great service, thank you guys. read more

Quick service as always; Benny the dog is a great "office mate" for those that work here. I appreciate the bench outside during these COVID times. read more

Impressive service! I typically dread any service that involves my car, be it oil changes, smog checks, etc. but this place is fantastic. A few months back I purchased a Groupon for a smog check here and per Groupon it "expired". When reaching out to Master Tech, they still honored my Groupon which was such a relief to me financially. I was easily able to set an appointment when I called. When I arrived (20 minutes early) so did a group of about 2-3 other individuals and there were 2 others already in the waiting room. I thought I was going to be waiting about 30 minutes or more to get my car smogged. To my surprise, I was in and out in 15 minutes including signing paperwork and payment!! The receptionist was incredibly nice and professional. The waiting room was really cute too and included a Keurig, comfy chairs and a TV to keep you happy while you wait. I will definitely consider using them for my future car needs! read more

This was about my 5th time here for smog and each time I have been very pleased. Service is fast, reasonably priced and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

This place is fantastic. They get you in and out quick. I use them for smogs and repairs, which they always do a fantastic job with. I highly recommend this place. read more

I completely trust the advice and repairs I get from Master Tech. My wife and I have taken our 2 2003-vintage cars there for over 2 years. We get great advice, great service and fair pricing. Recently, they kept our Trailblazer on site for over 3 days to replicate a problem I was having with starting the car. They finally were able to replicate the problem, found that it was the starter and quickly installed a new one. If you need a smog or a repair, I highly recommend Master Tech! They are also dealing with the realities of the pandemic very safely and efficiently. read more

Master Tech is always so fast and accommodating! I'm always in and out, efficiently. Won't take my cars anywhere else for smog!

I had to bring my car in for a smog. This place was clean, kind, helpful, and quick! I I highly recommend coming here. This was a positive experience and I would recommend folks come here for their smog needs. read more

Got a groupon for smog check. Literally I timed it and they were done in 10 minutes (from check in to check out)! Fastest smog check I've ever got done, and I was a walk in! The front desk ladies were super nice and fun to chat with. They also have their small yorkie I said hello to. Lobby area is small but comfy for the short amount of time you may be sitting there. They have TV , AC, water, magazines, and keurig to make coffee at $0.25/cup. And they're star certified (for DMV purposes)! Thank you!! read more

Family owned and operated. Needed help diagnosing an O2 sensor issue on my wife's Ford Escape and they had me an answer in a few hours. It's great that they're not only locale but they are honest and well priced. I will definitely be coming here for all of my smog and muffler issues from now on. read more

Fast, cheap, courteous, and clean! This place really made the smog experience very pleasant and I say again, fast! Armed with a groupon ($25 for smog check!), this is definitely one of the cheapest places in town to get your smog done. They charge an extra $9.50 to send and print out your smog certificate, but even then, still cheaper than most places. If you do not have a groupon, the smog check here is $44. I spent a total of 20 minutes here (it was a little busy), and would definitely recommend this place! read more

Favorite spot for my Lincoln Towncar! Brian knows his Fords and saved me hundreds maybe thousands of dollars! His knowledge on electrical issues alone is worth a visit. Shannon and her pup are adorable and have me in and out as promised, all fixed up, and less expensive than a dealership every time. If you need an honest repairman, choose Master Tech Smog & Repair in Fair Oaks, California. read more

Clean and friendly! I'm not much on any kind of vehicle repair or service places. How refreshing that 2 women work here, also. I brought 2 vehicles in the past 2 weeks for smog certification. THE BEST! read more

I have NEVER experienced such quick, convenient service in my life! I am sure that some of it was just dumb luck, but I was literally back in my car about ten minutes after pulling up out front. They checked my smog so quickly, that I thought there was a problem. But there was not. They were just done already! I am absolutely "tickled pink" with this place! :) The next time we need a smog check, or anything else they do, that is where I will go. read more

This place is worth the 5 star rating for sure. The lady answering the phone was just so nice!! And that was pretty important because the 3 other places I called before deciding on Master tech, they were all so rude and hurried. Even better was the deal I found on Groupon! Needless to say, I made an appointment for 11, ended up getting there 15 minutes early, they took me right in and I was done in about 15 minutes! The place is clean, bright and inviting with multiple places to sit both inside and out. It's not a huge place so it has that chill atmosphere. I will definatly be back if I am in need of any other services! I am really bad with names but a huge shout out to the lady that took care of me! You really made it easy to decide where to take my business!! read more

They are really fast and the front desk staff is great. We've taken all the cars in my family to them at this point.

Easy to find. Courteous and prompt service. Clean and comfy waiting area. What more can I ask?

I didn't end up using Brian's shop as I ended up doing the work myself but I have to commend Brian for a quick response to my questions (via the Yelp app) and a very, very fair price for all of the work I was asking to be quoted (I even asked a mechanic friend who said this was a good rate). While I can't speak to the quality of their workmanship, I can say that their customer service and pricing is very competitive and I will probably be going here in the future for any maintenance needs, given all of the great reviews I've seen. read more

Omgosh, my favorite smogging experience EVER! This place is adorable, clean, with super comfy chairs and friendly service. Sounds silly, but I can't wait to smog my other two cars here next year! read more

Great service, very fair pricing, and helpful staff. 10/10 this is the only place I will go to to smog my cars. read more

Master Tech Smog & Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Carmichael, California

This is by far the best priced and most reliable smog shop I have ever been to. I'm a regular here and sometimes even go out of my way to drive a little bit further to come here. They offer complimentary coffee and have a nice clean waiting room. Always showing a interesting video while you wait. Laura is really awesome!! She always goes out her way for her customers and is just good vibes in general. I'm a dealer now and will never take my cars to another smog shop. read more

Out of all the Smog shops, this was the BEST shop. Amazing customer service, very clean and stylish joint and affordable prices. This is now my go to shop!!! Do not go anywhere else but here read more

Excellent job figuring out my check engine light issue on my ford work van. I am very happy I found a mechanic that knows their stuff. I went through a huge headache with the other shop I was using but now I know where to take my van from now on, thank you very much. read more

Excellent service - quick (for date/time I went - no appointment) and less expensive than other places nearby. Staff friendly and efficient... Will bring other cars here for servicing... Thank you. read more

Man, I loved this place. I went for a smog check and was done in 10 minutes. I was absolutely amazed. Very, very impressive

Went in for a smog check today. I had a coupon purchase thingy from Living Social. I was literally in and out within 15 minutes. My butt didn't even have time to warm the chair haha. Its very clean, there is a TV, some fancy coffee and comfy chairs. I wasn't there long enough to make any coffee. The couple that runs/owns? this shop are extremely nice. They have the cutest puppy too. I will definitely be returning here when I need to smog my car again and will recommend to friends. read more

Honestly the most honest mechanics. We have taken our cars there a few times and I will continue to bring them as they are honest and will not try to get you to purchase other unneeded things. read more

Thanks Tyler for doing such an awesome job fixing the front bumper and spoiler! And he did way better than the dealer ever did!

This place is great! I walked in bright and early. And they were done in about 15minutes. The shop is very clean and helpful from what I saw when helping other customers while I was waiting for my smog. I will be a repeat customer and will recommend to friends and family. THANK YOU! read more

Master Tech Smog & Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Carmichael, California

Brian was able to diagnose why our daughter's 2007 Mustang was overheating (only when A/C was turned on) when several other mechanics failed to do so. Brian found resistance in the electrical wiring for the 2 speed fan and traced the problem as originating in the engine fuse box. The fuse box had a burnt out lead and needed replacing. The Mustang's overheating problem was cured. Brian did a fantastic job of communicating the problem to us over the phone and even sent us a picture of the burnt fuse box connector lead. Brian seems highly competent in auto repair and is very trustworthy. I highly recommend this place for auto repair. read more

This was my first trip to this location and I could not have been happier with the experience. I heard about the shop through a friend. I drove quite a distance to get to this shop and found it was well worth it. Everyone there was friendly, respectful, kind and polite and the service was FAST! When I arrived for my Smog test they told me how long it would take only 15 minutes and it took less than that. What I appreciated about the experience was that it was family run and the children seem to appreciate their parents. At the risk of sounding old I'll add that it is hard to find young people who are respectful to adults and even harder to find young people that are respectful to their parents. It was a refreshing and delightful experience. I highly recommend them. Oh yeah, due to COVID19 I asked if they could help me combine another errand I had and they went above and beyond to accommodate the request. I felt bad asking but figured, 'it doesn't hurt to ask.' When I asked the daughter working the front desk she assured me I wasn't asking too much and the manager was equally eager to help me out. Such a refreshing experience :) read more

This place is quick and no nonsense. The way a smog test should be. I will be back soon with my other cars.

Courteous staff that will help you with your needs. I came in for a smog test and had it finished in 20 mins.

This place is awesome. They are fast and efficient. I was very impressed with their service.:) Thank you Tyler .

Man, after my car failed smog I was stressed out to the maximum level and was like that for weeks as I was trying to find out what to do next. I got little relief qualifying for the CAP program in which it led me to Master Tech Smog and Repair. I showed up for a diagnostic test preparing to fork out the $89 that they charge for one hour(unlike El Camino Smog and Repair who quoted a diag test at $199), BUT since it didn't take an hour, they charged only $54. WHO does things like that nowadays??? My repair was covered by the CAP Program and I pay for another smog check that passes so what stressed me out big time a few weeks ago, turned out that it only cost me around $100 out of my pocket, thanks to Brian and Shannon at Master Tech. Awesome people! Thank you SOOOOO much. Mark R. read more

Went for a smog check today. Quick, easy process, and good price. Very clean operation. Also, well- implemented Covid-19 precautions. Outside bench to sit on too. Convenient to Arden Way & Fair Oaks Blvd area. Highly recommend. read more

I needed to get my smog check done quickly, and was able to make an appointment for the same day. They accepted the $25 yelp offer, no problem. I was in and out in 15 minutes. So making an appointment will save you time. These guys are pros, I can't recommend them strongly enough. read more

I was nervous about taking my car in for a smog check during the pandemic, but I found this to be very quick and effective and attention and helpful signage was paid to social distancing, etc. I chose to sit outside on a bench and read my book and I was shocked to see that only 10 or 15 minutes had passed before my car was finished and then parked. The paperwork was automatically sent to the DMV to verify that my smog check has been performed and the price was very reasonable compared to some of the other shops I called, in order to compare prices before taking my car to Master Tech. read more
