Norcal Auto

Norcal Auto has such a chill California vibe the moment you walk in. The waiting area feels like a mix of San Diego and Santa Cruz with its laid-back decor — Santa Monica beach picture, California flags, and even a retro TV that adds a cozy, throwback feel. Sean is super friendly, professional, and made the whole smog check process quick and easy. I’ll definitely be coming back and referring classmates — it’s rare to find a shop that’s this efficient while also being so welcoming and relaxed. Adios dudes 😎🏄‍♂️✌️

Nor Cal Auto has been doing our smog inspections for years. Excellent to work with and highly recommend!

If you want an easy, No Frill smog check, 894 smog is your best bet. I was in and out and about 10 minutes. Also they have a cool online web interface to make appointments.

This guy is honest and kind. Instead of smogging me he took an hour of his time to find out that my car is exempt from being smogged. Then he didn’t even take my money. Thank you!!!!!!

I came to Norcal Auto after a horrible experience at Pepboys. I was more than pleased with my experience here. As a woman, it can be hard to feel comfortable going to autobody shops but the owner is so friendly and personable with many stories to share. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. One of the only star certified places in Chico and he is legit! If I could make him my regular mechanic, I would. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a smog. Don’t waste your time with Pepboys or any other smog shops in town, you’ll save your time, money and sanity by taking your business to Norcal Auto.
