Form to fill out name and address.

Solid smog place! My 3rd time coming here for a smog check and I'll keep coming back. I've done a walk-in every time and they are always VERY fast and efficient! Smog Bros is tucked behind Freeport Automotive. The pricing is fair and they have a yelp check in offer for $5 off. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walk in with your dmv letter, fill out the form with your name and address, hand over keys, sit for 10-15 mins and good to go![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

View from the street. Smog Bros is on the left side of the building.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Super fast and easy experience - I called ahead, they told me the price out the door, and had time to do the smog immediately.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dan is good at clear communication and has a friendly demeanor, which is appreciated and not always found in the car repair industry.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even with a customer right before me, I was leaving within 20 min of arrival. It's still a little confusing to find because the first thing you see is some other name on a big sign, and "Smog Bros" is in small letters on the front door

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Came in for the first time and was out in 7 minutes at most , they asked how my day was and gave great guest service[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I was in and out with no issues at all! I am very happy and will come back next time I need smog. Prices are great as well especially for how quick and cool they are. They made sure to let me know they also do other services like registration renewal and other DMV services. I definitely recommend!!

Awesome experience with Smog Bros! Quick and easy and plus they have a discount when you check in on yelp. Quality wise, they know what they're doing and are super thorough with the process. As for value goes I paid $60 cash with the yelp check in but please note that this varies with the size of your vehicle. This will be my go to spot for a Smog check as long as I'm in Sacramento.

I brought my 23 Subaru Forester to these guys for rear brake job and oil change…read more A few days AFTER, no leaks from oil change, no smell of burnt oil no leaks on my driveway so that went well!! Brake job so far is doing well. No noise, no brake pedal vibrations. Parts were OEM pads and rotors. I brought it here because they had good pricing! And obviously quality work too! Dropped off my vehicle and work was done sooner than originally quoted which is a good thing! I paid for what was quoted with no hassles or any sales pitches which I appreciate! The gentleman who greeted me when I first came in right when they opened was pleasant and actually looked like he wanted to be there very easy to talk to and straight to the point. I know where to go now for other car related issues.

On April 21, 2025, I took my car to Auto Stop because it was leaking oil. I had been using them for…read moreoil changes and had always been happy with that service, so I trusted them with this repair. They diagnosed the source of the oil leak, and because I have an extended warranty, I went through the warranty process and authorized the repair. Their labor rates exceeded what my warranty would cover, so I paid the difference out of pocket. Unfortunately, this is where my experience went downhill. After the repair, my car continued leaking oil for more than a year. I brought it back multiple times, and each visit resulted in another attempt to fix the problem, usually by adding more gaskets. It became clear that they were taking shortcuts rather than properly diagnosing and repairing the issue. At one point, I discovered they had even stuffed rags around the oil pan. After several unsuccessful repair attempts, Auto Stop finally admitted they could not fix the problem. To make matters worse, during the course of their repeated repair attempts, they damaged the upper oil pan. Their only recommendation at that point was to take the vehicle to the dealership. That's exactly what I had to do. The dealership corrected the original oil leak and repaired the additional damage caused during Auto Stop's failed repair attempts, leaving me to pay for work that could have been avoided. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Auto Stop. What should have been a straightforward repair turned into more than a year of frustration, repeated trips back to the shop, additional damage to my vehicle, and significant extra expense.

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.
