Came here for a smog check, was told it would be about 20-30 minutes. Waited outside on the shaded bench reading and after thirty minutes was told my car was done! not gonna lie. I DID NOT PASS! BUT! I did get a $10 coupon for checking in on Yelp, and the workers were very kind when explaining why my car did not pass. Will be coming back for my retest once my car is fixed. Thank you, Yolo Smog. #intakehose #oops! read more

See all

Awesome fast service for smogs. I have not had to smog a car in over 15 years. These guys made it so convenient and finished well before the 45 min mark I was told that it would be done. There are some restaurants right across the street too, so you can go enjoy a drink and some food. They exceeded my expectations. Thank you YOLO Smog! Highly recommend!! read more

Amazing, fast reliable great customer service. I absolutely love this place. I would never go anywhere but YOLO SMONG Thank you. I will be back soon. read more

Yolo Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Woodland, California

Their crew was nice. Got me in and out in less than 30 mins. They are definitely reliable.

Service is excellent! They are fast and reliable! There is no appointment needed and you can wait in the heated room when service is done.

I live in Southern California and having my vehicle smog checked at Yolo Smog is a bit of a story. But, after having my vehicle smog checked, I would highly recommend this business to everyone!! They were honest, with fair pricing, and treated me like I was welcomed. They said it would take about 30 minutes and it did. I had a couple of questions and they provided answers I understood and that made sense. Again, I would highly recommend this business. read more

Great place to get your car smog family owned, and they never try to upsell. Very honest workers. They also recommended using fuel cleaners and engine booster products that have helped me maintain my high mileage truck to help it run clean and not make any extra pollution. Also very good price with using online coupon. read more

I've gone to this smog shop for years. The owner and his wife are very welcoming and polite. They get you in and out so fast, and no appointment is needed. Across the street is Starbucks and Peet's Coffee (inside Raleys), so it's conveniently located. They offer a $10 off coupon on their website too. read more

Several years ago took my supercharged car here for a smog. The tech does the smog, takes my money and hands me a paper saying I failed for visual. Mind you I pointed out my carb legal parts before he started and asked if they would be a problem. He said no if it passes then it's fine. This was the first and only time my car has failed smog in 12+ years. Due to this guys ignorance. Look at the hidden reviews. It seems to be common practice here. I had comptech engineering send over CARB papers via fax. The ignorant owner/tech still would not acknowledge them. Clearly has no idea what he was looking at. Even with paperwork and pictures from the manuf. Don't take anything modded here. Dude acts like the state referee or police lmao. Even with STAMPED carb numbers. Takes a special level of ignorance to be on the phone with an engineer who designed these parts and tell him he has no clue what he is doing. Speechless. I am so embarrassed by his behavior. Dude was telling engineers they don't know what they are talking about . LOL humble yourself. Be aware. His ignorance will cost you money and for modded guys it red flags your failed smog so any shop after will be cautious. So NOT needed read more

Yolo Smog - Failed for visual. Lol even tho its a CARB legal kit, manufac. in el dorado hills ca - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Woodland, California

They were straight forward and if you go to their website they have a good Copon for a discount.

Took care of my smog check quickly (despite it being lunchtime and with two cars ahead of me). Price was good and had online c coupon that reduced the price. The people were very friendly and professional. When the car was done, they informed me that my front tires were bald, and suggested that I get them checked out so I didn't get stranded. I found that to be very professional given that they don't do tires and didn't have to say anything. Also, they are conveniently located across the street from a shopping center that has both a grocery store with a deli for lunch and a couple restaurants. So you can take care of your shopping or get lunch or just a beverage while you wait for your car. read more

Very accessible, straight forward, good service. I called the morning of, someone picked up right away. I asked if they had a smog tech available on the weekend since I ran into that being a problem elsewhere. They stated that they did. I asked if I needed an appointment. "Nope, just come on by." I think I was there a grand total of 30 minutes despite there being a few other people there, and the tech was chill and friendly. I'll definitely be back. read more

Had to get my Prius smog tested for the first time. They were great explaining everything and fast as well.

Pulled up on a Saturday morning without an appointment for a smog check, they helped me right away and I was out in under 30 minutes. Very friendly and great prices. read more

Quick service. You're in, you're out and that's it. The peoooe who work here are really nice and you get $10 off with your Yelp check in. They have a nice waiting area with cold AC and a TV. That's it, I didn't need anything else. This will be my new smog spot. read more

Yolo Smog - Nice waiting room while you get your car smogged. They have the AC on blast. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Woodland, California

If you need a smog, Yolo Smog is the place to go. This place is fast and efficient. They have great customer service. They are so nice and caring. They made sure I was out of there in time to pick up my daughter. Highly recommend this place, and will definitely return with my other vehicles when needed. Thank you Yolo Smog!!! read more

Issac was very professional, knowledgeable and above reproach. I highly recommend Yolo smog.

Decent, although now that I don't need a smog inspection, I've found inspections in Sacramento for less. Even with the coupon, it was still more than the 'big city' of Sacramento. Not complaining. They got it done. Nothing to jump up and down about though. read more

I wouldn't take my car anywhere else for a Smog! I've been taking my cars to Yolo Smog for over 15 years. Super nice people, excellent work and great customer service. If you want, you can run across the street to browse in the shopping center or grab a cup of coffee, but service here is usually pretty quick so it's not necessary. This is a great little independent local business; I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

My car needed a smog check and my husband had used this place before. It is not much to look at from the outside but there were quite a few people there when we got there. It was a hot and smoky day and one of the staff mentioned a waiting room which was air conditioned and we wanted to get out of the smoke. (This was during one of the fires.) We didn't have to wait long and the owner was very nice. They handle all types of vehicles. read more

Fast, friendly and professional, the couple that runs Yolo Smog are great. I have been taking my cars to them for over 10 years and only have good things to say. The owner helped me with the information I needed for a part the one time my Mom's car didn't pass. Honest people are worth their weight in gold. read more

Amazing workers, got the job in one day. Very nice and helpful!!! Definitely recommend coming here. read more

Yolo Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Woodland, California

I live in Davis, and my cars are all pretty old. So it always helps to drive them at freeway speeds to warm up the catalytic converters before a smog. Well, this year, I resurrected a 30 year old Italian car that hadn't run in decade. The tech here (there are only two) asked me what I did to make sure I'd pass. He was really helpful, and took a long time to explain the procedures they would go though to smog my car. I've taken my cars to places in Davis, but have run into problems. Like once they had my AC on! So that failed my car.. nice... and other times I've had problems that could have been solved really easily. But I don't have any of those problems here, and with four cars to smog every two years, I really, really need this to go smoothly. Love this place! read more

I had a great experience here. Fast, great service. Used the coupon on their website to save some money too. Very nice employees. Highly recommend. Would definitely come again!! read more

People are friendly. Quick service. They have a coupon online for $39.99 otherwise I was about to pay almost $80. Good place to get your car smogged for CA registration. read more

Went in first thing today for a smog, went super smoothly was done in under 30 mins, owner was super nice guy and we chatted while I was smogged. Used the$20 coupon off their site, and I could''t be happier. Quality service, friendly team, in and out in a snap, reasonable pricing. What more can I say... Thumbs up! 5 stars! read more

The building looks pretty rough on the outside, but the guy working there was such a gem! He stayed open a little late for me to get a smog check. Everything went smoothly and I was in and out in under 10 minutes. I highly recommend Yolo Smog!! read more

Today I went in for a smog check, I was overdue on my DMV renewal. I work in the healthcare field and as this newly instated "shelter in place order" for our state, getting to do your normal activities is impossible. I pulled up to see they modified their hours and were about to close. Once I told them I have been working 60+ hours this week and can't get in to do my smog due to the healthcare challenges I'm facing, they gladly took my car and told me they appreciated what I was doing. How nice to have this kind of support. I will now continue to support this business and tell my friends and colleagues how supportive this business is. Thank you Yolo smog! read more

They got me in and out in 30 mins without an appointment and Yelp had a $20 off coupon. They were great.

On the plus side, the tech here is nice and they seem to use the latest technology. It is pretty quick, too. On the negative side, this place charges $20 for retest, which tends to be free in most other places. So using this place might end up being more expenssive than you think. For example the car might fail the test if you had it serviced recently, or had the battery replaced/restarted and your vehicle's on-board diagnostic computer has been reset, and the manufacturer's driving cycle has not been completed yet, even though there is nothing wrong with the car. Unless you are 100% sure your car is ready to pass on the first try, I would not recommend going here. read more

Very professional and quick (Isaac I think his name was) Looked under the hood and told me what I had to fix to have it pass smog BEFORE he charged me anything. Got the hose replaced and went back and passed no problem. Will definitely use again. read more

Sweet place! I took my old car here to be smogged and the young man working didn't seem the least bit daunted by the age of my vehicle. He smogged it, it passed (!!!), he lightly suggested some repairs I might have done with my regular mechanic, and off to DMV I went to collect my current registration tag. What a GREAT feeling! read more

I took my 2001 car to get my smog check and it failed for the first time ever. The guy showed me smoke billowing out of the tailpipe which I had never seen; my family and friends hadn't seen or smelled smoke either. They told me to get "No Smoke", put it in my oil and drive it around for 3 to 4 days, get a new gas cap and then come back and they would retest it for $20. I took it to my mechanic at Goodyear in Davis first thing next morning and he didn't see anything wrong but suggested I take it to another mechanic who does more emissions work to be sure. The second mechanic that morning said my engine was not burning oil, it looked fine and again could not recreate the smoke from the tailpipe. I went to O'Reilly auto parts and they could not see any smoke either, thought the No Smoke suggestion was weird and I did get a new gas cap even though there was no smoke at all three places. I took it to Advanced Smog in Davis and it passed just fine and they told me smog stations usually do a free retest - not charge $20.00! I went back to Yolo Smog to show them my results right away and they refused to refund my $39.95. read more

Best smog place in town.Been coming here since they open almost 15 years.Techs are very nice always gives additional info about my car.Coupon on their website helps too.Highly recommend this place. read more

I've been a regular at this place for about 10 years. They are very friendly and they perform quick and efficient work. NEW this time was that they are now able to do minor repairs. To enable my 18-year-old car to pass, Isaac had to replace some small worn-out tubes---and charged only for the parts. Thanks for the great work!!! read more

Took my car here for a smog . They didn't pass me because of my o2 sensor which would be fine if there were an actual issue with it . They told me to get it fixed and come back to do another test for $30 (most places do it for $10 or even free) I took it somewhere to get it fixed and an honest mechanic told me there was nothing wrong with my o2 sensor and these guys were just trying to get me to come back and do another smog . Took my car to elk horn smog and it passed just fine . Wouldn't recommend Yolo smog unless you like throwing your money away . Very disappointed with their service and will not be returning . read more

I have been taking my vehicles to YOLO Smog (Star Certified) for several years. Isaac has been the technican who has completed all of vehicle smog checks with efficiency. I would recommend this location for anyone that needs a car smogged from a van to a hybrid, they do it all! Quickly and your out the door. No appointment necessary with little to no time to wait. read more

I have used them three times. They are always fast and friendly. I take my old trucks to get smog They are always accommodating. Quick and great service always! read more

..Awesome awesome go here they will hook you up for less than 50 bucks....I definitely recommend this place if you need a smog.....

They are great! We had purchased an older car and did not get the proper support for some after-market equipment. They were very helpful in telling us what we needed and how to obtain it. They are quick and polite. read more
