Capital Smog

Jong is great! I take all my family vehicles to him for smog. We have been going to him for several years. I recommend everyone to Capital Smog. He also does brake and lamp inspections. Fair prices!

Fast and easy, price on the phone match the out the door price. Very helpful person. Will be back any time I need a smog. Useful tip when u driving by it, go slow or u will miss it

Just like another reviewer, I was at dmv and needed a smog, I called this shop and he said he could see me right then, completed the smog within 20 mins, and back to dmv I went. Everything went much smoother thanks to him! Super friendly guy and great service, I’ve already recommended this shop to lots of people

Tried to claim that SUV is the same as a passenger truck and charge more money. I had to argue to get the rate for passenger vehicle. Won’t be back here again

its a cheaper place. but he is friendly has nice classical music on and is very efficient.
this is the place to go.

I really enjoyed my experience the first time I brought my car to Capital Smog. The owner is very friendly and the service is fast and easy. I only had to wait 5 minutes because there was someone ahead of me who was finishing up her payment. By the time I look at my watch, I was in and out in about 30 minutes. I still had time to go grab food during my lunch break and make it back to work on time. In the wise words of Ice Cube…“today was a good day.”
P. S. The owner also honored a Unilocal coupon he wasn’t aware.

I called after reading a few reviews and was happy to hear the price and time my inspection would take.
i recommend this place to anyone looking for a smog OR/​AND brake and lights inspection.
The guy there seems to be an honest mechanic, which are hard to find, and seems to be very knowledgeable in his trade.
Brakes and lights inspection costs was less than average in area.

DMV kindly let me know that my vehicle was due for a smog inspection, so I fired up Unilocal to see who was close by and highly rated and found Capital Smog. I’ve literally driven by this place probably 200 times but never once noticed it was there, so was very surprised to find out it was just about a stone’s throw from my house!
Pulled in end of day Tuesday and the owner (a friendly, quiet gentleman) let me know I could pull right in. I did, he took my paperwork, wrote down the itemized costs ($ 45 total, including certificate) and then got to work. I liked that I could watch him do his inspection and then the smog testing, as it made me feel better that I wasn’t turning my car over to some random kid at some random franchise and not knowing what was happening to my car.
I was in and out within 20 minutes (and my car passed — yay!) and this place was great. Easy, painless, friendly. Definitely recommended — I’ll be back in 2 years time!

This place was awesome. The owner is a very nice man. He charged less for my brake and lamp Iinspection than any shops in the area. It took about 20 minutes. Other shops told me 2 hours or more. He’s also located 5 min from dmv. Would recommend to anyone.

I had visited this place to do my first smog ever. I was quoted a price over the phone and when I got there the technician had raised my price by 10 dollars. I told the guy this was my first smog and he took advantage of that. He ran the Rpms on my car very high to increase my emissions numbers. Of course I didn’t know any of this stuff at the time. I had failed my smog test.
I later had my smog repair done at Cal-​state auto repair and they were excellent. Very straight forward and fast. They had fixed my car and passed my smog. Being that this was my second smog, I was able to compare it with my first smog report. That’s when I realized that I was ripped off by capital smog. I will not recommend this place to anyone. If you want an honest place I suggest you go somewhere else.

Close to DMV, barely a wait for smog, honest price (smog quote includes certificate). I’ll be back in a couple years for sure.

Best place to go to get your car smogged in the Sacramento area. The owner is super nice and has great prices. He usually isn’t too busy, so no appointment is needed! Always recommend this shop to my friends looking for a place to get their bi-​annual smog done.

Fast Service. I was in and out at the best price for a smog. Best experience for a smog I’ve had in the area.

need a smog before the dmv closed…
there were long waits at other shops nearby and i’m glad i ended up here.
5 stars because Jong is legit, quick and friendly.
he was honest and upfront which is huge at any sort of auto shop.

Needed to only get my brake and light certificate to register my car at DMV. I thought I’d be in and out in half an hour, but as it turns out I had a couple problems with my car. The guys was so nice and explained all the problems, and offered to fix it AT COST if he had the parts! He was able to do it all, except for one part that was only available at a Honda dealership. I went and picked up the part, and he installed it for free. VERY nice man! Although he spoke broken English, he knew what he was doing and was so helpful.
The only reason I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 was the seedy location, which was down and alley and shared with many other car shops.
