At the corner of State Street and Calle Real — right in the heart of Santa Barbara's residential neighborhoods. Fast, friendly smog inspections without the downtown drive.
Skip the downtown traffic. Our State Street and Calle Real location puts a full-service smog check right in the middle of Santa Barbara's residential neighborhoods.
If you live in San Roque, La Cumbre, Samarkand, Hidden Valley, or anywhere along upper State, we're already on your daily route. Stop in on the way to the grocery store, drop the kids at school, or during a Saturday morning errand run.
Our BAR-licensed team knows emissions testing inside and out. They'll run your inspection efficiently, explain the results clearly, and get you back on your way — no unnecessary upselling, no confusing jargon.
Santa Barbara's stunning natural setting — mountains on one side, ocean on the other — deserves clean air. Every vehicle that passes its smog check helps maintain the air quality that makes this city extraordinary.
Walk-ins welcome anytime. Or book online and we'll have a bay ready — no waiting, no surprises.
Our technician connects to your vehicle's diagnostic system, runs the state-required tests, and checks your emissions components. About 15 minutes start to finish.
Pass your smog check and we file the certificate with the DMV the same day — electronically. Renew your registration online from home. Done.
We're not a strip-mall smog shop you've never heard of. We're on the corner of State and Calle Real — the same intersection you drive through every day.
Love downtown Santa Barbara? So do we. But nobody loves driving downtown for a 15-minute errand. Our upper State Street location means you can get your smog check done in your own neighborhood — between La Cumbre Plaza and the San Roque area — without fighting for parking on Carrillo or sitting in lower State Street traffic.
We're one of two Jiffy Lube locations in Santa Barbara — the other is downtown on Carrillo Street. If downtown is more convenient for you, great. But if you live or work on the upper end of town, we're right here. Same quality, same ownership, same team standards — just closer to home.
The standard biennial inspection for vehicle registration renewal. Most vehicles 1976 and newer need this every two years.
Selling or buying a vehicle? The seller needs to provide a valid smog certificate. Get it done before you list the car.
New to Santa Barbara from another state? You'll need a California smog check before the DMV will register your vehicle here.
First-time California registration requires a smog inspection — whether the vehicle was purchased, gifted, or inherited.
Diesel vehicles have specific testing requirements. Our technicians are trained and equipped for diesel emissions inspections.
Flagged as a gross polluter? Complete repairs and come back for the required re-inspection. We handle it all.
No — walk-ins are welcome anytime. Book online if you want to guarantee zero wait time, but most walk-ins at our upper State Street location are in and out quickly.
About 15 minutes. We inspect 2002 and newer gasoline vehicles, and 1998 and newer diesel vehicles. Quick enough to fit between dropping off the kids and picking up groceries at Vons or La Cumbre Plaza.
Same ownership, same standards, same Jiffy Lube Multicare quality. The only difference is location — we're on upper State Street at Calle Real, and the other is downtown on Carrillo Street. Pick whichever is more convenient for where you live or work.
We explain the cause and can usually repair it right here — we're a full-service Multicare facility, not just a test-only station. Fix the issue, re-test, and you're on your way.
