88 Smog Test Only

Going here makes the whole smog procedure quick and easy. 3 times i have been here and it was quick. Ricky is an honest, skilled, professional who knows what he is doing. I recommend this place for anyone.

I was referred here by the girl at the car fees registration office on Mack road. I never realized that there was a smog check on the lonely, near desolate street the CHP is located on. There is also a transmission garage right next to it with is a plus. You never know when you will need a new transmission. The 88 smog check has never been busy when I’ve gone there. I didn’t wait at all and I recall thinking that this must be Sacramentos best kept secret. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. The price of a smog is so reasonable. At least 30 dollars cheaper than Smog & Go on West Stockton blvd. I was so pleasantly surprised to find this place. I will never go anywhere else for a smog test again. Thanks so much Smog Check 88.:)

I have had both my cars smog certified here. Quick service, polite, professional. Print out coupon from Web site.
Hard to find– large sign on building says Transmissions but smog only station is on small sign.

Went today on Columbus Day. There was only car in front of me. Rick was fast, efficient and did my smog check fast. With the coupon this is the best price for smog check in Sacramento. It was easy to use this

Amazing, very quick, and inexpensive just make sure to give the coupon up front but I would highly recommend this shop!

I went here because my normal smog center wasn’t star certified at the time and I read all the good reviews here on Unilocal.Unfortunately, I have to disagree with all the positive reviews.
Came here on Friday, after work around 4:30pm. There was nobody, so I was like great, I’ll be in and out in no time. 50 minutes later, the guy finally finished. After 20 minutes, I started to look at the window to see how my car was doing. I’m not sure if the guy was new or just didn’t know what he was doing, but he definitely looked lost.
If there was a problem, he could of told that there was an issue, and things will take longer than expected, but not once did he even bothered letting me know.
Will not be back.

To the point, fast, and no hassle. And the smog certificate is included in the price.

Ricky was extremely quick and professional. Will definitely get all my future smog checks here.

Best place to get the job done! Great price! Extremely friendly and personable. Quick! Came in Friday evening at 4:00 and no wait. Print coupon from website and present in the beginning. He was happy to honor it. When you turn on Massie Circle, the building is straight ahead into the parking lot immediately in front of you. I was very happy with my experience here and would not hesitate to recommend.

Amazing service! Super fast, friendly and a great deal. If you need to get a smog check done for dmv registration then this is the place!

Simple and easy place to get your smog taken care of. Printed the coupon off the internet and brought it in. Got the smog done and out the door in 30 min! $ 38 out the door can’t beat that!

Went on a Wednesday morning. The website offered a coupon for 2000 models and up, $ 38 for the whole shebang. This is a one person shop and there was a car in the bay when I arrived. I thought I was in for a tedious wait but about 15 minutes later my car was being checked. The guy agreed to honor the coupon even though I just showed it to him on my phone as opposed to printing it out. Another 15 minutes and I was done. Fast, efficient service at an excellent price.
The location is in an industrial area off Mack Rd, so there’s no place to walk for coffee or distraction while you wait. The waiting room itself is tiny and spare, but clean. None of this was an issue for me because the weather was nice when I went so being outside wasn’t an issue. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, the service was fast so there wasn’t even time to get antsy.

Really good service don’t have to wait in line and he does the job right and fast. I highly recommend anyone that doesn’t want to wait in line to get your car smog to go here

I have been to several smog stations in my life, which is always a mundane necessity. But I’m pretty satisfied to say, this business is going to continue to get mine! «88 Smog Test Only» is located off the beaten path in South Sacramento. I would never have known where it was, since it is practically hidden and tucked away from the well known streets surrounding the area. But it seems to get enough clientele to keep them in business. Word of mouth, Penny Saver ads, online coupons and Unilocal reviews seem to make a difference. It is connected to the Red D Transmission building, which is nestled among other businesses and faces the 99 freeway. Best of all, it is 5 minutes away from my house!
I happened to find them while looking at coupons in the Penny Saver. A standard size car is $ 38.00 for smogging and sending your certificate to DMV. Ricky seems to be owner and operator of this one man establishment who is polite, friendly, fast and efficient. He gets down to business as soon as you pull up. We were lucky that we arrived when no other customers were present. So the whole process took just 20 minutes!
This place does smog only, so if your vehicle doesn’t pass smog, you will have to go somewhere else for repairs. My boyfriend’s truck (which didn’t qualify for the coupon) and my car passed their tests which meant we can both continue to drive happily and smog free to our heart’s content for another few years…

Just a fair warning to future potential customers. Nice guy, but doesn’t know jack about American cars or trucks. My first red flag when I should have gone somewhere else is when he didn’t know what my classic Chevy Stepside was. He didn’t own a timing light so he failed that. And thought my Edelbrock valve covers were a non California legal performance upgrade. Anyway, 1hr and 60 dollars later I receive a fail because he didn’t know how to time my vehicle and couldn’t explain why that is my vehicles fault and I need to go somewhere else. When it all comes down, It’s not my vehicle that failed. So if you have imports like Toyotas which I do as well, go here. If you have American muscle or carburetor vehicles go somewhere else and it will be much cheaper as well. I hate to ding this but people must know.

Great fast service, great price, need I say more?

Car passed. Great custom services. Recommended.

This place is the place to go for a smog if you want an honest shop. Ricky is the only person that works here but he is efficient and works quick. When I got there he asked if I had any modifications done to my car and I didn’t realize that my intake didn’t have the California legal sticker which would have failed my inspection. He told me that I had to put my stock one back one. Most places would have done the test knowing you’re going to fail so you would come back and get charged or retest.
I went home and threw my stock intake back on and came back an hour later. I was in and out in about 20min. Ricky is a good guy and works hard.
*note
Print out the coupon on their website before you go. $ 45 out the door with certificate. It’s even cheaper for cars 2000 and up. Cheapest place around.

Every other year, the DMV requires smog check on older vehicles… I have found a new place to smog my vehicle. This place is not too hard to find. It is located as part of the Red D Transmission building (on the left side). Next to the skating rink and Flooring Liquidators.
If you print the coupon from their website, it’s cheap ($ 35 including certificate). In the past, I have paid probably $ 20 more to get a smog done. And the other places do the same thing as this place.
Like others have said, this is a one man show… So, if there is a line of cars ahead of you, you could be waiting a while. It seems like first come, first serve.
The waiting room could be better, but if you’ve got no one in front of you, you’ll only be there for about 15 minutes.

Went here to get a smog check for my out of state car. There is only ONE guy that works here, so it does it kind of busy. This guy is AWESOME though… very good at what he does. He doesn’t try to rip you off or anything… very honest!
The waiting room look kinda ‘ghetto’ though… but you wont have to wait long since the smog test doesn’t take very long at all.
Print out the coupon! It really is a FLAT $ 30 bucks out the door. no hidden fee’s or scam! I will definitely be going back to this place when my car needs a smog check again!
