Both smog check centers are located inside Xpress Oil & Lube Center, where a full-service oil change with a multi-point maintenance check is available in the same bays, with no appointment. 4.7 stars from 550 Google reviews of the two Reno Xpress Oil & Lube Centers Because the smog check is inside an oil change service center, one stop can cover two errands. Here is how people usually think about it. ### Can I get an oil change when I get my smog check? Yes. The smog check centers are located inside Xpress Oil & Lube Center, so you can ask for both in the same visit. ### What kind of oil change is it? A full-service oil change with a multi-point maintenance check, available at Xpress Oil & Lube Center in the same bays. ### Do I need an appointment for the oil change? No. As with the smog check, you drive in, with no appointment. ### Where is the oil change service center? At the same two Reno addresses: 6100 Mae Anne Ave for Reno Northwest and 4993 Longley Ln for Reno South, near the airport and I-580. ### Where can I read more about the oil change side? At xpressoilandlube.com, the website of Xpress Oil & Lube Center. ### Is the smog check affected by getting an oil change? The smog check is a separate service with its own result and its own receipt. Anything about either service is easy to ask the crew when you pull in. ### Can I do the smog check and renewal and the oil change together? Ask about renewing your registration in the same visit as well. The smog check, the DMV renewal and the oil change are three separate services with separate receipts. ### Which location should I choose? Whichever is closer to you. Both are inside an Xpress Oil & Lube Center, and the [service center page](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/which-service-center/) helps you pick. ### Does the service center post the hours for the oil change? The oil change service center and the smog check share the building, so the posted hours at each address are the ones to use. Call to confirm: (775) 787-1000 for Reno Northwest or (775) 828-6996 for Reno South. ### Is there a guide on combining the two? Yes. The [smog check and oil change guide](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/guides/smog-check-and-oil-change/) walks through it. ### Why combine the two at all? It saves a trip. Many drivers find that the smog check and the oil change come due around the same time of year, and having them in one place means one drive instead of two. ## One stop for two jobs When your smog check is due, glance at your oil change sticker too. If both are close, mention it when you pull in and the crew will take it from there. The multi-point maintenance check comes with the full-service oil change. The smog check itself follows the DMV's steps: the technician scans the VIN with a bar code reader, plugs the analyzer cable into the OBD port, reads the emission data, and the pass or fail result goes to the DMV in real time. The DMV says most OBD II tests are completed in five minutes or less. Bring the same things you would bring for any smog check: the renewal notice, the odometer reading and a way to pay. If a check engine light is on, mention it when you pull in; the DMV treats a lit light as an automatic fail, and it helps to know before the test. ### Sources - [xpressoilandlube.com](https://xpressoilandlube.com) (Xpress Oil & Lube Center, full-service oil change with multi-point maintenance check; read 10/19/26) - [dmv.nv.gov/emission_obd.htm](https://dmv.nv.gov/emission_obd.htm) (Nevada DMV On-Board Diagnostics page; read 10/19/26) ## More questions by topic [Who needs a smog check in Nevada](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/who-needs-a-smog-check/)[Where in Washoe County a test is required](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/smog-check-areas-washoe/)[The renewal notice and the smog line on it](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/renewal-notice/)[Your result and the DMV link](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/certificate-and-dmv-link/)[How long a passing test is good for](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/90-day-rule/)[Renewing your registration with the smog check](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/renewing-at-the-station/)[What a smog check costs](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/price-and-fees/)[Driving in without an appointment](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/drive-in-no-appointment/)[Hours and the quiet times to come in](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/hours-and-busy-times/)[Which service center to use](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/which-service-center/)[An oil change in the same visit](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/oil-change-same-visit/)[Check engine light questions](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/check-engine-light-questions/)[After a failed test](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/failed-test-questions/)[Smog waiver questions](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/waiver-questions/)[Not ready and rejected results](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/not-ready-questions/)[After a battery change or a repair](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/battery-and-recent-repairs/)[Gas caps and small fixes before a test](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/gas-cap-and-quick-fixes/)[Insurance trackers and OBD port devices](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/obd-port-devices/)[New vehicles and the first three registrations](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/new-vehicles/)[Hybrid and electric vehicle questions](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/hybrids-and-evs/)[Diesel truck questions](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/diesel-trucks/)[Motorhomes and heavier gas trucks](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/motorhomes-and-heavy-trucks/)[Classic car and Old Timer plate questions](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/classic-cars/)[Motorcycles and other exempt vehicles](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/motorcycles-and-exempt/)[Moving to Reno or Sparks](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/moving-to-reno/)[Leaving Nevada or living away part of the year](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/leaving-nevada/)[Military members and students](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/military-and-students/)[Private party sales](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/private-party-sales/)[Buying from a Nevada dealer](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/dealer-sales/)[Smoking vehicles and visible exhaust](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/smoking-vehicles/)[Engine swaps and modified vehicles](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/engine-swaps-and-modifications/)[Registered outside the Washoe testing area](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/registered-outside-the-testing-area/) ### Your location: Reno South - Call [(775) 828-6996](tel:+17758286996) Mon-Fri 8 am-5 pm, Sat 8 am-3 pm, Sun closed - Address 4993 Longley Ln, Reno, NV 89502 [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=4993+Longley+Ln%2C+Reno%2C+NV+89502&destination_place_id=ChIJc5xNCcI_mYARXjHn3y79iJw) ### Related - [Smog check and oil change in one stop](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/guides/smog-check-and-oil-change/) - [Locations](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/locations/) - [Which service center to use](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/which-service-center/) - [Driving in without an appointment](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/drive-in-no-appointment/) - [About](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/about/) Located inside Xpress Oil & Lube Center Both smog check locations sit inside an Xpress Oil & Lube Center, the locally owned Reno drive-in that has served this town since 1983.
