EVERY KIND OF SMOG CHECK CALIFORNIA ASKS FOR.
Bring the DMV notice. It says which test your car needs, and the certificate is filed electronically the same visit.

Out-of-State & New Resident
Just moved to California? Bring the title and we'll handle the smog plus the VIN verification in one stop.
RV & Motorhome
Class A, B and C motorhomes. Call ahead with the length so we can check it fits the bay.
Diesel Smog Check
1998 and newer diesels under 14,000 lbs GVW now need a Smog Check. OBD scan plus visual, done here.
Clean Truck Check
CARB's Clean Truck Check for heavy-duty vehicles over 14,000 lbs. Ask whether we can run yours.

QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNTER.
My notice says STAR. What does that mean?
The Bureau of Automotive Repair sends some vehicles to a STAR station based on the state's own data. Not every station is a STAR station, so call with the notice in hand and ask whether we can run yours.
How long does a smog check take?
Most cars are done in one short visit once they're in the bay. Older vehicles that need a dynamometer test take a little longer. Walk in, or book ahead to hold a bay.
What happens if my car fails?
Ask whether we can diagnose and repair it here and retest it. You're also free to take it anywhere else, and we'll go over the failed report with you either way.
What is the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP)?
CAP is the state's Consumer Assistance Program. If your car fails and you meet the income limits, it can help pay for emissions repairs or for retiring the vehicle. Ask us and we'll point you to the application.
My car was called a "gross polluter." Now what?
A gross polluter is a vehicle that failed well above the limit. It has to be repaired and retested at a STAR test-and-repair station. Call with the failed report and ask whether we can take it.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in during the hours below, or send the form to book a time. Near closing, call ahead first.
