I was in need of a smog test and of course I left this for last minute thing. But Natomas Smog Shop was accommodating and was able to get my smog done. The wait was not long under an hour and the fee for my car was reasonable. The staff was professional and the lobby is inviting, plenty of sitting space and not to mention lot's of parking. read more

Yearly registration fees are due but this time they tossed in the smog requirement too, thought great this is going to be a hassle. After a quick search on Yelp, I picked this shop based on their consistently positive reviews. Scheduled for Friday at 4pm and thought I'll probably be there a while. Boy was I wrong, I was in & out in under twenty minutes after handing off my keys and paying my $68. The customer service was super friendly, with the service technician even topping off my windshield wiper fluids and leveling my tires air pressure. The waiting room is SUPER clean and modern. With comfy chairs to watch tv, a small reading area for kids and high rises if you want to bring your laptop and get some work done. They offered cold complimentary water and had a wide screen tv for entertainment to past the time. I'm highly recommending this location to family and friends as I was thoroughly impressed with my smog service. read more

I've come here twice now for my smog check and have no complaints about service. Their online appointment is so easy. Their in person customer service is great. I think I paid around $78 for a smog check. Was in and out in roughly 15 mins. read more

Checked Yelp for reviews on smog check vendors and found Natomas Smog Shop. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive and it's close to home, so I decided to give them a try. I called first thing in the morning to see if I could come that same day. The receptionist was very pleasant and confirmed they could take care of me that morning. As I entered the office she was just finishing up with a client. She greeted me took my keys and said it would be about 20 minutes. Sure enough everything was completed and I was heading on my way within about half an hour! Unexpected courtesy I received was the technician noticed my tires were low and actually put air in them! That's quality service. Very impressed with the entire process. read more

Thanks for making it easy! Called up, yes we have time today. Can you be here before 12:30? Yep. In and out in 20 minutes with a certificate in hand. $68. Polite, clean, etc. Happy to recommend this team. read more

Because I'm a procrastinator I waited till the last minute to get my smog done on my car. I had gone to 2 other places before Natomas smog shop and auto repair and neither place could accommodate. So I came here and they were able to get me into an appointment for that same day. Henry was great and so nice and helpful, I had such a good experience I booked an appointment for my husband's car to have the oil changed and air filter checked. Henry said they would do a full inspection and they also accommodated us bringing our car in much earlier than the appointment because we had work and other appointments at the time of the actual appointment. Their system was very easy to use and follow, we received a text message of their findings which led us to their website and each additional finding allowed for us to approve or decline the management and laid out all the pricing. I will say their battery was slightly expensive, but when looking at the battery online it was only about $50-60 more than market price. We had previously bought the cheapest battery and installed it ourselves and it just didn't seem like it lasted very long or worked all that well (not user error as we have changed our batteries in the past) so we approved the battery that was being recommended by the mechanic. On the way to the shop to pick up our car we picked up our mail which noted my husband's car needed a smog check as well so we called the auto shop to see if they could fit in a smog check and they were again very accommodating and even had to do extra work because when you change a battery the car needs to be driven for a bit before it will pass the smog test. But they did it all in one day. This auto shop was very clean, had a good size waiting room with bathrooms and a TV. We recently moved to natomas and I'm so glad I found this place because I will be using them for my front line car needs, if they can do it I'll be taking our cars there. Thank you Henry and the team at Natomas smog shop and auto repair for making it so easy and convenient for us to have our cars serviced. read more

Natomas Smog Shop, what is competitively priced for Smog check and certificate. And they were right on time. I showed up at 11:30 for my appointment, and I was out of there at 11:48. The waiting area is clean and was quiet when I was there. I will use them again. read more

Made the appointment for my 2010 Honda. by 5pm the end of the same day. I got into the car back and Turned on the air within 5 minutes. It was blowing cold air + 8 minutes very very cold By 10 minutes The air coming out was painfully painfully cold freezing Overall conclusion: 3 months ago I went to Firestone Auto center in West Sacramento and was quoted $1,400 for everything including items that weren't air condition related After notomas 's. Smog shop looked over there quote and took out the nonsense. B******* at least $900 and that even included they're brand new condenser unit and all air conditioner work done. A little expensive. Every repair that I've had done on this car and previous have not only worked correctly. I have not needed a follow-up for correction that's why I have all my work done at this place Like how many times have you been to one place? Spend all that money and then you have to take it to another because the work is faulty or just shoddy and doesn't hold up over time this place does If you want it done right then it to last go to Natomas Smog Shop!!! read more

Easy process. Made an appointment online, they sent a few reminders beforehand. When I showed up for my smog appointment, I'd forgotten my DMV paperwork. The last upfront still made it happen. Highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough great things about Natomas Smog Shop. They are super honest and helpful, very knowledgeable and offer fantastic service at reasonable prices. If you need your car looked at, look nowhere else. read more

This is a great place!! Smog check was simple and fast! Scheduling the appointment was easy and the service was nice!

We used to always take our cars to their respective deals for oil change and repairs, however since I discovered Natomas Smog shop we haven't been back to the dealers in years! I love that Natomas Smog shop is local, convenient and they provide all around excellent customer service! ' In the front, Trinh is always prompt and responsive via phone and email. She welcomes customers and gets the checked in efficiently I love that when she calls, she provides detailed updates and I trust her recommendations. I believe the mechanics at Natomas Smog shop do a good job on the cars. Recently we had a smog check, new rotors, new brake pads and brake fluid exchange done on our Pilot. We also had an oil change and minor repair to the skid plate on my Corolla. Both cars were inspected for issues I reported and the repairs were done. I trust the mechanics and believe Natomas Smog shop's prices are fair and less than the dealer. Lastly, there is usually a $10 off coupon for oil change or smog check on the back of the Safeway receipts. read more

I took my car in today for a smog inspection. I had an appointment and was seen immediately. The staff was very friendly and courteous and the inspection was completed quickly. I highly recommend. read more

I've taken my car for an oil change here for the past three years now. The office staff are always very organized and responsive. I'm usually able to get an appointment within just a few days. They did a diagnostic of my vehicle (free of charge) and found some things that need to be fixed. I got a quote from them on the cost to repair everything and it seemed reasonable. The office is comfortable to wait in since their remodel too. read more

Awesome experience at Natomas Smog Shop. New resident of Natomas and needed to get my car smogged so I relied on the Yelp Community to help me out. I called and was by a very nice lady and was able to book an appointment the next day (score)! Trinh, Terry and Rizwan are the staff I engaged during my appointment. Very kind people. Expectations were set as soon as I arrived. I waited in the lobby and maybe 30 minutes later it was time to go! I highly endorse Natomas Smog Shop, 10's across the board, thanks again! read more

I love this place when it comes down to my car. The customer service is very good and I did not have to wait too long for my smog

1st time customer-went here for smog. They were quick, efficient and courteous. And found out they are a full service shop so we will be taking our car there for an oil change soon. Highly recommended. read more

Took my car in for a few belt replacements which would have been around $300. But after they took a look the belts only needed to be adjusted, which made the new price $90. They could have lied and replaced them anyway, but they were honest and did a great job. My car is running better. They saved me about $200. Thank you read more

I have been going to Natomas Smog Shop for many years. They are always very quick, friendly, and efficient! Out of all the auto shops I have frequented for my smog checks and oil changes, they are by far the best automotive experience that I've had.  Also, I would like to recognize Trinh at the front. She always is responsive via e-mail and very helpful. She is a big reason of why Natomas Smog is so successful and why the shop has loyal customers! :) As a long-time patron, I truly value her customer service skills she provides. I highly recommend Natomas Smog Shop for their exceptional service and expertise. Thank you for taking great care of my car and providing an unmatched customer experience! read more

I am writing review as a concern. I came here to get a tune-up. When I got there the person who does the check in was not there, they were late. So the mechanic checked me in and had me sign a paper that I dropped off my car and with what work I wanted to be done, which was a tune up and, radiator and transmission flush. I got the original quote and it was for around $850. Wow! So I just asked for the tune up and I was quoted around $250. And when I got there it was $383. All they did was apologize for the misunderstanding. In addition, they showed me a picture of one of my coils that needed to be replace, which I agreed.m, that costed me an additional $250ish.so I left with paying $610. Ok, fine. Lesson learned and advice for people who want to come here. Get a quote via email or paper, not verbal. That's not the worse part. I came home and drove it the following day and my battery and my check engine IMA light came on. Prior to the tune-up, everything was running fine. I don't know if something didn't connect or whatever. I did call them and they were flexible that they would run a diagnostic test, which they did the next day and they didn't even pop the hood to check anything else. they said it was my IMA battery according to the diagnosis text the the IMA battery is less than 5 years old and the other battery is less than 6 months old. Now I have to go to Honda to have them check it out, which will probably end up costing me more money and time to have them take a look. Just doesn't seem right. Once I get the diagnosis from Honda I will update this review. Lesson learned and I should fine with my gut especially since my car is a hybrid, go with the dealership... LoL As promised: here's an update. I went to the dealership and they found nothing. The did a through test. The codes were false. Seems a little strange from my perspective. IDK Anyways. I wish this business the best, but for now on. I'll be sticking with license Honda dealers/professionals... read more

Friendly staff and efficient services. We took my car in for an oil and filter change. They were able to schedule me in right away. We used the AAA discount and they wrapped the car inside when they drove it and used masks and gloves. This is greatly appreciated since COVID-19 and we have a newborn at home. We have used their services for smog as well and it's pretty fast. We will definitely be back! read more

Just fantastic all around. I needed help with my headlight, so they promptly performed the diagnostic, ordered the missing part, and got it fixed in a few minutes. I went there as soon as they opened shop without an appointment, and despite their busy schedule, they were still willing to help me. I highly recommend this place for their professionalism, cleanliness, and overall good vibes. read more

Front desk attendant was super friendly and informative. The Smog technician went above any smog technician I have taken my baby (2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi) to EVER. He provided a very thorough "quick glance" of basic fluids, tires etc and I really appreciate when customer service also means looking out for the interest of others! Thank u so much- read more

I'd feel confident sending my friends here, and in my opinion that's a huge compliment to a business. I brought my car here earlier this year for my smog check.

A few months have gone by and my check engine light came on, Natomas Smog Shop fixed it and all is fantastic. You won't be sorry you went here. Exceptional service!!! read more
