On Higuera at Madonna — the south end of SLO's main corridor. Fast, friendly smog inspections for San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly, and the surrounding communities.
Right on the main corridor, near Madonna Shopping Center. Whether you're a Cal Poly student, a downtown professional, or commuting in from the coast — we're on the road you already take.
Higuera Street is the spine of San Luis Obispo. Our shop at Higuera and Madonna puts you close to everything — downtown is a few minutes north, Cal Poly is east on Foothill, and the 101 is right there. No detour required.
We're a complete Jiffy Lube Multicare facility. If your vehicle doesn't pass, we diagnose it, fix it, and re-test it right here. No bouncing between shops in a town where parking is already a challenge.
SLO is the hub of the Central Coast — people come here from Los Osos, Morro Bay, Avila Beach, Edna Valley, and everywhere in between. We see vehicles from all over the county, and we know the driving conditions that affect each one.
Walk-ins welcome anytime. Book online for zero wait — we'll have a bay ready when you arrive.
Our technician connects to your vehicle's diagnostic system, runs the state-required emissions tests, and checks your components. About 15 minutes. We inspect 2002 and newer gasoline vehicles, and 1998 and newer diesel vehicles.
Pass and we file the certificate with the DMV same day — electronically. Renew your registration online from home.
As the county seat, SLO draws people from across the region. Our Higuera St shop is positioned to serve all of them.
Over 20,000 students attend Cal Poly, and a lot of them have cars. Whether you're registering a vehicle in California for the first time, buying a used car from a graduating senior, or just dealing with your first DMV renewal notice — we'll walk you through it. No judgment, no jargon.
People drive into SLO from Morro Bay, Los Osos, Avila Beach, Edna Valley, Cambria, and beyond. If you're already coming to town for work, shopping, or errands, add your smog check to the list — we're right on Higuera, the road that brings you into the heart of SLO.
Standard biennial inspection for registration renewal. We test 2002+ gasoline and 1998+ diesel vehicles (OBD-II). Older vehicles require a different test type.
Selling or buying? The seller must provide a valid smog certificate. Common around Cal Poly with the active used car market.
New to California? You need a CA smog check before the DMV registers your vehicle. We handle this every day — especially around September.
First-time California registration requires a smog inspection regardless of the vehicle's history.
Diesel vehicles have specific testing requirements. Our technicians are trained for diesel inspections.
Flagged as a gross polluter? We repair and re-test under one roof.
No — walk-ins welcome anytime. Book online for a guaranteed time slot with zero wait.
If you're registering your vehicle in California, yes. If you're keeping your out-of-state registration and just driving here temporarily as a student, you generally don't — but check with the DMV for your specific situation.
About 15 minutes for the test. Total visit with check-in under 25 minutes — quick enough to fit between classes or on a lunch break.
We explain the cause and can usually repair it right here — full Multicare facility. Fix, re-test, done.
