Cap City Smog

Needed a new place for smog this year as I have moved since the last smog. This was not the closest shop to the house, but the closest place did not have Unilocal reviews. I’ll be doing all my smog checks here now because of their service.
The address puts this place where there are a bunch of car lots. This is actually the long building behind the car lots. To get to this place take Loma Vista Dr to the east just barely past the car lots.
I was here on Saturday of the 3 day MLK weekend so there were 5 people ahead of me. They gave me a time to come back (45 – 60 minutes) so I did other errands, grabbed a bite to eat, and didn’t waste time sitting around. Many other places would have just told me to take a seat and wait so I didn’t go away, check Unilocal,and find another shop.
These folks are thorough in their inspection. They had a problem getting a shroud back on the engine (I’ve had problems with it too), but rather than give up on it or hurry and cross thread the bolts, they took the time to get it on correctly. You can watch them since their sitting area has a full view of the one stall.
About the only down side to this place is parking during very peak times. That is not even close to being enough of an issue for me to stop coming here. If it’s a peak time, I’d suggest calling them and have them tell you when to arrive to minimize your wait.
I’ve seen no pass, no pay for this business. I assume that is correct since they did not want me to pay until after it was all done (I passed so I paid). They only wanted to know up front what form of payment you would be using via check box on the paper work that you fill out.

When I went to go get my smog check I was turned away because there was supposedly black smoke coming from the back. I was told to take it to a mechanic to have them fix it, so I found the nearest smog repair shop to resolve the issue. When I got there though, the mechanic said that there was no black smoke and that there was no reason for my car not to pass smog. I was wrongly turned away because they either did not know what they were looking at or simply did not want to work with my car’s model.

It’s located way in the back behind the used car lot in the front. A little hard to find and figure out how to get back to. Nice staff. Single garage slot so they can only do one car at a time –makes it a bit hard for waiting customers to know where to put their vehicles in the surrounding sea of used cars. The crush of customers probably had a lot to do with me and others waiting until the end of the month to bring our cars in. I just drove in — no special offers that I knew of. I have a 1997 Honda Civic — $ 45 for smog check and certificate

Very friendly with very fast service! They do a great job. Awesome place that I have recommended to several people!

Amazing service! Called to make an appointment an hour before I was able to come in, and they fit me in. Gentleman on the phone was very polite. I arrived 30 minutes early, and they took my car in within a couple minutes. In 15 minutes (or less) my smog check was done! Price is not bad but I would honestly pay more just for the service! Thank you!

This place is awesome! I made an appointment on short notice and was in and out in about 10 minutes. $ 40 for a full size SUV. I’m sold!

I was on the hunt for a place to do my smog check with a special. I forgot I had to get my smog check for DMV this year. So I came to Unilocal!For assistance.
They were running a special AND had excellent reviews. I knew mine would be a bit higher because I have an SUV. He quoted me ($ 45 out the door) I came in and was out in 15mins. Super friendly service!
Thanks fellas!
Quick and friendly service!

Great service. In and out with no wait time. I will recommend this place for any one who needs a Smog Check.

My regular smog place went out of business and I didn’t know where to go so I turned to the penny saver for local ads. I did not find them in the penny saver, but I am so glad that I found them. I left the first two places that I went to because they were disgusting, dirty, unpleasant and there prices were falsely advertised. So I decided to check Unilocal for a referral and that is when I found Cap City Smog. They are a small garage surrounded by a half a dozen other small garages behind some small used car lots on Fulton. They don’t have a waiting room or anything, but they have several chairs that were suitable for sitting on. They were efficient, professional and very reasonably priced. They were quick too. When I arrived they said it would be about an hour before my car was done and it was done within a half an hour. I would return to and recommend Cap City Smog for a future smog check.

Cheap and friendly!
I’ve been here twice and both times the people have been friendly and fast. Plus, with the coupon from their website, a regular smog + cert is about $ 40 — much cheaper than other places I checked! They are sort of tucked away off the street on Fulton across from Kuni’s dealership at El Camino so you might not see them right off the bat, but it’s worth it to find them!

I needed to take my car into a STAR testing station for a smog check and Cap City Smog was on the list of STAR stations. I happened to be in the area, called them up and was told I could bring it right over. They started testing my car within about ten minutes of my arrival and had it done in just about the same amount of time. It was a very fast service and the guy I spoke to was very nice.
It is a little tucked away off of Fulton Ave, but they gave me easy-​to-​follow instructions on how to get there. Their rates for the service are also among the lowest in town with the coupon from their website.

Quick, efficient and professional. It’s a SMOG check – not a repair center.

Quick and efficient! Very professional.
I came in as a walk in and there were a couple cars ahead of me but i was finished in about an hour! They were able to smog check four cars in the time I was there. The guy helping me was very helpful as it was my first smog and I didn’t know what I was doing.
The workers were very professional even though the customers were not… Be warned that the parking there is very small and has a limited number of spaces.

This smog station has the best prices out of any smog station that does STAR testing! There’s Smog N Go but they charge $ 10 more and they take longer. Good and fast customer service, I would definitely go here again. The shop is tucked in the back alongside other shops so it might be difficult to find at first.

Was referred here by another smog station which did not do STAR testing. Courteous staff and extremely quick service, I was in and out in literally 15 minutes as all I needed was the OBD test. Make sure you look for coupons online!

I had been searching for someplace to get my car a smog check and found this place on Unilocal.When I called, they had an opening and I got my car in right away. They weren’t the easiest to find, but very good and patient at helping you find them. The price was right and they were very professional. I was very happy with the friendly, quick service I received. I will be coming back here on my next smog check.

My preferred smog shop in Sac. Service is always courteous, professional, and expedient. Price is very reasonable. I feel confident that I receive fair treatment, my scheduling requests are accommodated, and the people know their job well. I spoke with several shops before deciding to take my Boxster in because I wanted someone who would be careful and thoughtful regarding opening up the engine compartment (it’s something of a process and if they don’t have solid experience doing it, you don’t want them learning on your car — Clean Pipes had no issue with this and allowed me to assist with this part of the process). With this quality of service, I give this shop the business of smogging all my cars.
