Right on Hollister Ave at Fairview — the road you already drive every day. Fast, friendly smog inspections for Goleta, UCSB, Isla Vista, and the whole west side.
No need to drive into Santa Barbara for your smog check. We're right here in Goleta — on the stretch of Hollister you already know by heart.
At the corner of Hollister and Fairview, we're in the center of everything Goleta. Whether you're heading to work at one of the tech companies on Hollister, running errands at Camino Real Marketplace, or coming from UCSB — you pass us anyway.
Unlike standalone smog shops, we're a complete Jiffy Lube Multicare facility. If your vehicle doesn't pass, we can diagnose it, fix it, and re-test it — all without sending you somewhere else. One stop, one trip.
Goleta has its own identity — it's not just "West Santa Barbara." We get that. This shop serves the Goleta community specifically, from Old Town families to UCSB grads who stuck around because they fell in love with the place.
Walk-ins welcome anytime we're open. Or book online and skip the wait entirely — we'll have a bay ready for you.
Our technician plugs into your vehicle's OBD-II system, runs the California-required emissions tests, and checks your emissions components. About 15 minutes.
Pass your inspection and we file the certificate with the DMV the same day — electronically. You can renew your registration online from home. No DMV visit needed.
Goleta isn't Santa Barbara — and our shop reflects that. We're here for the engineers, the students, the families, and everyone who calls this side of the 101 home.
Goleta's Hollister corridor is home to some of the biggest employers on the South Coast — aerospace, tech, defense, and everything in between. Our shop sits right in the middle of it. Get your smog check done during lunch or on the way home from work. No detour required.
Students and recent grads — we see you. If you're registering a car in California for the first time, buying a used car from another student, or just dealing with that DMV renewal notice for the first time on your own, we'll walk you through it. Smog checks are simpler than you think.
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 must provide a valid smog certificate. Big in Goleta's active used car market — especially around UCSB move-in season.
New to California? Transferring from another state? You'll need a California smog check before the DMV registers your vehicle here.
First-time California registration — purchased, gifted, or inherited vehicles all need a smog inspection.
Diesel vehicles have specific testing requirements. Our technicians are trained and equipped for diesel emissions inspections.
Flagged as a gross polluter? We can repair and re-test — all under one roof.
Nope — walk-ins are welcome anytime. Booking online guarantees you a time slot with zero wait, but most walk-ins are seen quickly, especially on weekday mornings.
If you're registering an out-of-state vehicle in California, you need a California smog check. Just drive the car in — we'll run the test, file the certificate with the DMV, and you can handle the rest of your registration online or at the Goleta DMV on Hollister.
About 15 minutes for the inspection. Total visit including check-in is usually under 25 minutes — short enough to knock out on a lunch break.
We explain what failed and why. Because we're a full Multicare facility, we can usually repair the issue and re-test right here — no need to find a separate mechanic.
