As a Jiffy Lube Multicare facility, we handle smog inspections, oil changes, brakes, tires, and more — all at one East Grand Ave location serving the Five Cities.
Every inspection is filed electronically with the California DMV the same day.
The standard California smog inspection required every two years for registration renewal. Takes about 15 minutes, certificate filed electronically so you can renew online from home. No DMV trip needed.
Selling your car? The seller must provide a valid smog certificate dated within 90 days. Whether you're selling through a private listing or to a neighbor down the street, get the smog done first.
Just moved to the Five Cities from another state? Retirees relocating to the Central Coast, families transferring for work — you'll need a California smog check before the DMV registers your vehicle here.
First-time California registration — purchase, gift, or inheritance — requires a smog inspection regardless of the vehicle's current status.
Diesel trucks and work vehicles have specific emissions testing requirements. Our technicians are trained and equipped for diesel inspections — common in the ag-heavy Five Cities area.
Flagged as a gross polluter? As a full Multicare facility, we diagnose, repair, and re-test right here — one stop instead of three.
Most standalone smog stations can only test. If something fails, they send you to a separate mechanic — which in the Five Cities might mean driving up to SLO or down to Santa Maria for the repair, then driving back for the re-test.
We're a full Multicare facility. Our technicians diagnose emissions issues, complete the repair, and re-test — all in the same visit at the same shop on Grand Ave. For Five Cities residents, that's a real time-saver.
Already here for your smog check? Knock out your other vehicle maintenance 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 the hills around AG and the Lopez Lake Road grades.
Battery testing and replacement. The Central Coast's mild weather can mask a dying battery — you won't know until it leaves you stranded in the Vons parking lot.
Radiator flush, coolant replacement, system inspection. Especially relevant for vehicles that make the inland run to SLO or up the Cuesta Grade regularly.
Local businesses, ag operations, property management companies — we offer fleet programs with consistent pricing and centralized billing for the Five Cities area.
Whether you're heading north to SLO for work or south toward Santa Maria, the 101 corridor through the Five Cities area puts daily wear on your brakes and transmission. Stop-and-go around the Pismo/Shell Beach interchanges is especially hard on vehicles.
The Five Cities sit right on the coast. Salt air accelerates corrosion on battery terminals, brake hardware, and undercarriage components. The morning fog that defines Oceano and Grover Beach carries moisture that compounds the effect over time.
The AG Valley has real terrain. Lopez Lake Road, the Huasna area, and the hills east of town all put extra demands on brakes and cooling systems. If those drives are part of your routine, proactive maintenance prevents surprises.
The Central Coast doesn't have harsh winters to reveal weak batteries or bald tires. That means problems develop quietly. Regular maintenance catches what the gentle weather hides.
