Colfax Smog and Auto Repair

Love taking my car here. They are nice and get it done right. I can trust they’re not charging me for something I don’t need and I love to support local business! Highly recommend!

Todd and his crew are great. They are honest and will tell you the truth. They helped me with a tune up on my Subaru as well and now a broken heater core.
I always find it hard to feel good about an auto repair place but now I drive two hours just to get my car fixed.
They also have chains available!

Had to get the car smogged this year and this little shop came highly recommended. I called to schedule an appointment and was able to get in the following morning. Todd was ready to go when I arrived and I was back and on my way down the road in less than 30 minutes. I did notice the higher price for smog when compared to shops down the hill but I try to stay local if possible despite slightly higher costs. It is more expensive but life in general is more expensive to live in a small community. Well worth the price difference to avoid traffic and crowds down the hill. Will be my go to smog shop from here out. Thanks

Rude! I wanted to support a local business. Never again. I will never come back. They have all the time in the world since they’re slow which gives them time to nit pick every little thing. I recommend go to a quick smog ‘N go place in Auburn or Roseville. Also the guy kept telling me my cat was new. Unless someone came to my house in the middle of the night and put a new cat on my car, the cat is not new. It’s 6 years old. Does that count as new? This place also charges $ 15 more for a smog than all other places in Auburn. In addition, he charged me for a certificate when no certificate was issued. Then I had to beg for a retest in two weeks when other places automatically offer one. My suggestion is take your business to Auburn. Todd is a jerk!!!

They diagnose it right the first time around. This saves tons of money! They are timely, friendly and great people. I won’t go anywhere else!

Ron and Todd are a pair of old school cool mechanics who have a passion for helping the customer. I was lucky enough that when my car had a catastrophic failure on a road trip that I found them. Five star service from five star people.

Ive been taking my diesel truck to Ron and Todd for the last few smog checks. Ron has been a great help and he couldve and shouldve charged me an arm and a leg but didnt, several times. They are kinda weird at first… but they grow on you, like a fungus. Love em and would recommend them as one of the best in placer county. Keep up the good work!

Just a couple of nice guys working out of an old gas station. Todd and Ron run a nice little business the Colfax way. They are laid back and friendly while efficiently taking care of the job. They told me my smog check would take about 20 minutes but it was ready in 15.
Ron is an ASE Master Technician — that’s a big deal.
I love it when I can do business locally. Glad Todd and Ron are nearby.

Driving to Tahoe from the Bay Area, our car’s A/​C stopped working. No one else was willing to help us, but the gentleman at this shop was took the time to take a look at our problem and gave us a diagnosis. While he wasn’t able to fix the issue, he was honest and genial — big points from us!

My AC went out just outside of Sacramento. Could take the heat no longer, so pulled over in Colfax and prayed that I would not get ripped off. Ron and Todd were just great! Very friendly, charged a very fair price, and clearly explained what the issue was. Just nice guys. Very recommended if you need service in the Tahoe forest area.

My radiator blew out comming from a camping trip. The local AAA reccomended this place. Super nice guy. Part was in stock and delivered in less than 10 mins. Very proffesional and fast! Saved me and my two small children. Would reccomend to anyone!!!

Colfax Smog and Auto IS truly as good as it gets. Ron and Todd are extremely knowlegeable, absolutely no up-​sell, they even try to find re-​built parts if that will work in your favor — of COURSE — only with your consent. I highly recommend Colfax Smog & Auto. They are one of the best!
