Keeping the Santa Maria Valley's air clean since 1987. Drive in for a fast, reliable smog inspection on South Broadway — walk-ins welcome, appointments available.
We've been part of the Santa Maria Valley community since opening our doors on South Broadway in 1987 — the first Jiffy Lube on the Central Coast.
Most smog inspections take about 15 minutes. Walk in during your lunch break, between errands at the Town Center, or on your way home from work. No long waits, no runaround.
Our BAR-licensed technicians are trained specifically for emissions testing. They know the equipment, they know the regulations, and they'll walk you through the results.
Santa Maria is surrounded by some of the most productive farmland in the world. Clean air isn't just a regulation here — it's how we protect the valley, the vineyards, and the open spaces we all enjoy.
Walk-ins are always welcome. Want to skip the line? Book an appointment online and we'll have a bay ready for you.
Our technician connects your vehicle to the state's emissions testing equipment. The whole process typically takes about 15 minutes.
Pass your smog check and we file the certificate directly with the DMV — electronically, same day. One less thing for you to deal with.
From the strawberry fields of Guadalupe to the vineyards of Foxen Canyon, the air quality in our valley matters. Regular smog checks aren't just a legal requirement — they help keep our agricultural heartland healthy.
The Santa Maria Valley's unique microclimate — warm days, cool coastal fog rolling in each evening — means air quality is directly tied to vehicle emissions. Every car that passes its smog check is one more contribution to keeping our valley's air breathable.
Whether you're coming from Orcutt, Guadalupe, Nipomo, or right here in Santa Maria, our South Broadway location is centrally located and easy to get to. Just south of the 101/135 interchange — you can't miss us.
