Straight east on Elkhorn Blvd
Elkhorn Blvd is Rio Linda's main east-west road, and it is also the easiest way to us. Follow it east past Watt Avenue and over I-80, where the name changes to Greenback Lane. Turn left on Auburn Blvd and you will find us at number 6381, Suite A. No freeway driving is needed.
From the north end of town near Elverta Road, take Dry Creek Road south to Elkhorn first. Most trips take about 15 to 25 minutes. The office is in the Auburn Blvd shopping district, close to Walmart, Costco and Sam's Club.
Nearest DMV options for 95673
The DMV's location finder does not show a field office in Rio Linda. For the 95673 ZIP code, its first results are the Carmichael field office at 5209 North Ave and the Sacramento field office at 4700 Broadway, both listed as closed Saturday and Sunday.
Why Saturday matters here
California DMV field offices are closed on weekends and generally close at 5pm on weekdays. We're open Saturdays and until 9pm Monday through Saturday, by appointment. If you work weekdays, that is often the difference between handling a transfer this week or next month.
How a Rio Linda visit works
In a semi-rural community, vehicles often change hands between neighbors and relatives, and the paperwork does not always keep up. Here is how we get it sorted.
Call or book first
Tell us about the vehicle: an older truck bought down the street, a car inherited from family, or a registration that lapsed while it sat in the yard.
Gather what you have
Bring the title, even if it is old or signed in the wrong place, along with any DMV letters. We will tell you what else is needed.
Drive over and finish
We review everything at the counter and process what can be done there, so you are not guessing at forms alone.
Services Rio Linda customers use
- Title transfers for private-party sales, family vehicles and releasing a car you already sold.
- Registration renewals, including registrations that expired months ago.
- Salvage titles for rebuilt vehicles, with repair shop referrals.
- Dealer services for independent lots that need deals and records processed.
Check the document checklist before you head over. If you are shopping for a dependable used vehicle, Trusted Quality Auto Sales, our sister dealership, is at the same address. We speak Arabic as well as English.
Rio Linda FAQ
Where is the closest DMV office to Rio Linda?
For the 95673 ZIP code, the DMV's location finder lists the Carmichael field office on North Ave first, followed by the Sacramento office on Broadway. Both are closed on weekends. We are a private business partner, not a DMV office, on Auburn Blvd in Citrus Heights.
Are you open on Saturdays?
Yes. Saturday appointments run from 10am to 9pm, just like weekdays. We are closed on Sunday, and every visit is by appointment, so call or book online before you come.
My truck's registration lapsed while it sat unused. Can you help?
Often, yes. Expired registrations are something we handle regularly. Bring your plate number or VIN and any DMV notices, and we will go over what is owed before we process anything.
Is the drive worth it compared with doing it online?
For a simple renewal with nothing unusual, dmv.ca.gov or a DMV kiosk may be all you need. The drive to us makes sense when a title transfer, a lapsed registration or a salvage vehicle needs someone to check the paperwork. Our service fee is added to the DMV fees.
