As a Jiffy Lube Multicare facility, we handle everything from emissions testing to oil changes, brakes, and tires — all at one Hollister Ave location.
Every smog inspection we perform is filed electronically with the California DMV the same day.
The standard California smog inspection required every two years for registration renewal. If the DMV sent you a notice, this is what you need. Takes about 15 minutes, certificate filed electronically so you can renew online from home.
Selling your car? The seller must provide a valid smog certificate. Especially relevant in Goleta with the active used car market around UCSB — students buying and selling between themselves, or graduates selling before they move. Get it done before you list.
New to California? Just moved to Goleta for a job on the tech corridor or graduate school at UCSB? Your out-of-state vehicle needs a California smog inspection before the DMV will register it here. We handle it every day.
First-time California registration for any reason — purchase, gift, inheritance — requires a smog inspection. This applies even if the vehicle has a current certificate from the seller in certain situations.
Diesel vehicles have specific emissions testing requirements. Our technicians are trained for diesel smog inspections — trucks, vans, and SUVs that meet California's weight and model year requirements.
Flagged as a gross polluter? As a full Multicare facility, we can diagnose the issue, complete the repair, and re-test — all in one visit instead of bouncing between shops.
Most standalone smog stations can only test your vehicle. If something fails, you're on your own to find a mechanic, schedule a repair, come back for the re-test, and hope the problem is actually fixed.
We're a full Jiffy Lube Multicare facility. Our technicians can diagnose emissions issues, complete the repair, and re-test — all in the same visit. One shop on Hollister Ave instead of three stops across town.
For Goleta commuters who are already stretched thin between work and life, that kind of efficiency matters.
Already here for your smog check? Get your other vehicle maintenance done at the same time.
The Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change — conventional, high mileage, synthetic blend, or full synthetic. Includes multi-point inspection and complimentary fluid top-offs between services.
New tires, rotations, balancing, and flat repairs. We carry a wide selection and price competitively. Ask about our tire quotes.
Brake inspections, pad and rotor replacement, brake fluid exchange. Important for stop-and-go on the Hollister corridor and the 101 commute.
Battery testing and replacement. The South Coast's warm climate accelerates battery wear — heat degrades the internal chemistry faster than cold. We'll test yours and give you a straight answer.
Radiator flush, coolant replacement, and cooling system inspection. Especially important if you're commuting through Gaviota or over the San Marcos Pass regularly.
Goleta's tech and aerospace companies need their fleet vehicles maintained. We offer fleet programs with consistent pricing, flexible scheduling, and centralized billing.
If you commute between Goleta and Santa Barbara — or further toward Ventura — you're putting your vehicle through daily stop-and-go that accelerates wear on brakes, transmission, and cooling systems. The 101 through Goleta is one of the most congested stretches on the South Coast.
Living near the ocean means salt in the air, which accelerates corrosion on battery terminals, brake hardware, and undercarriage components. Goleta's proximity to the coast makes periodic inspection especially worthwhile.
Heading up the coast through the Gaviota Tunnel and beyond puts your vehicle through steep grades and varied conditions. If that's part of your regular route, your brakes and cooling system work harder than the average commuter vehicle.
Goleta's climate is gentle, which means your car won't warn you about problems the way freezing temperatures or extreme heat would. Regular maintenance catches what the weather won't reveal.
