    Midtown smog-- not 5 star certified (yet) they are working on it! Drove in on my lunch break to get it smogged because my car was so overdue! The guy was so nice and it took probably only 13 minutes! He also put air in my tires and informed me of an important recall with my battery! It was $65 dollars! I think it was so expensive due to a fine from the dmv for not getting it smogged back in November... or I got ripped off! But whatever, I'm just glad it's over with' They have a nice little waiting area with water, a candy bowl and appeared to be a mini fridge!

    He responded quickly to my message. There was a deal so got a great discount for the service. I arrived early and got me in early. He was quick and efficient doing smog and explained I failed cuz I didn't drive enough miles after changing battery. He was super nice about everything. I highly recommend this place. Also they give a decent amount of time to come back for your one free retest if you failed. Great service here

    Star certified yet? Need to bring my RV back for testing very soon...

    We are still working on it, had some delays from bar and from electricians, but we should have it soon.

    Are they a star certified smog check business?

    We are not Star certified yet, should be around Mid-January

    Jiffy Lube has become one of my go-to oil spots whenever I'm in the Downtown/Midtown/East…read moreSacramento area. I'm in a lot of different areas for work, so having a reliable place I can count on in this part of town makes a big difference. Every time I've stopped by, the team has been consistent--quick, professional, and respectful of my time. They get the job done efficiently, and I've never felt pressured into unnecessary services, which says a lot these days. They also do a good job checking the basics like fluids and tire pressure, which adds real value and helps catch small issues early. The location is super convenient if you're already in the area, and it's easy to swing in and out without it turning into a whole ordeal. That kind of efficiency is huge when you're trying to stay on schedule. Whether it's just a quick oil change or a basic checkup, they've been dependable every time. If you're in Downtown/Midtown/East Sac and need something done without the hassle, this is a solid spot to keep in rotation.

    The headlights in my car are difficult to access, so I called ahead to ask if they could assist…read morewith changing them since one went out. They agreed they could assist and told me they weren't immediately busy and could see it promptly. I drove over immediately and let them know I was the person who had called about the headlights. They asked if I needed any other services and even though my oil change wasn't due for another 500 miles, since I was there, I said they could do ahead and do the oil change. When they were finished with the car, I went up to pay, which was the first time they mentioned they did not have the bulbs and could not change my headlights. Since that was the entire reason I brought the car in, it very much felt like they took advantage of the opportunity to make some money rather than be honest about what they could do for me. Won't be back.

    I want to sincerely thank John for the outstanding service he provided today. In a world where…read moretrust and workmanship matter, John stands out as someone who truly takes pride in doing the job right. Two years ago, I took my 1986 Chevrolet van to Smog N Go on Orchard Loop Lane in Elk Grove for a smog check, and it failed due to an evaporative leak. Looking for answers, I brought the van to John at Auto Express. John performed a smog test, and the van passed. I returned to Smog N Go with John's test results, certificate, and a video of the test being performed, and they refunded my payment. From that moment, it was clear that John's integrity and expertise made all the difference. Last week, I returned to Smog N Go for another smog check, and once again my van failed--this time because of a reported gross evaporative leak and timing said to be set at 18 degrees BTDC, even though the correct specification is 4 degrees BTDC. It was a frustrating moment, but it also reminded me of the value of having someone you can truly rely on. I brought the van back to John at Auto Express, and once again it passed the smog test. John discovered that the wrong vapor line had been pinched during the evaporative test, which likely caused both this failure and the one from two years earlier. He also took the time to investigate why the timing had been set to 18 degrees BTDC by carefully examining the distributor, vacuum advance, and vapor lines. In doing so, he found that the vacuum advance was not working properly. What impressed me most was not just that he solved the problem, but that he approached it with patience, care, and a commitment to finding the truth. John was thorough, knowledgeable, and transparent every step of the way. He explained the issues clearly, replaced the faulty vacuum advance along with damaged vacuum and vapor lines, reset the timing to 4 degrees BTDC, and provided a smog certificate for my van--all within just a few hours. I left not only impressed by his skill and professionalism, but also grateful for his honesty and dedication. Even though I live in Elk Grove, I will gladly continue bringing my vehicles to John, because people like him restore your faith that exceptional service, integrity, and true craftsmanship still exist.
