EVERY KIND OF CALIFORNIA SMOG CHECK
If The DMV Asked For It, We Run It
Tell the tech what your notice says and we'll take it from there, without sending you to another shop across town.
Change of Ownership
Selling or buying a used car in California? The seller owes a smog certificate less than ninety days old. We run it, transmit it, and hand over the paperwork the buyer needs at DMV.
Out-of-State & New Resident
Just moved here? Your car needs a smog check and a VIN verification before DMV will title it in California. We do both in one visit, in one lane, in one stop.
Biennial Renewal
The every-other-year renewal. Bring the notice or just your plate number. We pull it up, test it, and send the certificate electronically before you are back on the road.
RV & Motorhome
Gas motorhomes get the test for their model year. Call ahead with the length so we can check it fits the lane before you drive it across town.
Diesel Smog
Diesels from 1998 and newer under 14,000 lbs GVWR need the California diesel smog inspection. Call ahead for a dually or a work truck.
Clean Truck Check
Heavy-duty vehicles over 14,000 lbs report to CARB under the Clean Truck Check program. Call and ask whether we can run the OBD submission for yours.

FAQ
How Can We Help?
The questions we hear at the window most.
My notice says STAR. What does that mean?
The Bureau of Automotive Repair sends some cars to a STAR station, and your DMV notice says so if yours is one. Not every station is a STAR station, so read us the notice when you call and we'll tell you whether we can run it.
How long does a smog check take?
Most newer cars are done while you wait. Older vehicles that run on the dyno take longer. There's no drop-off: you stay in the car the whole time.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in any time we are open, or book a lane if you would rather know your slot. The last hour before close and the end of the month are usually the busiest.
What do I need to bring?
Your DMV renewal notice if you have it, or just your licence plate number. For a change of ownership bring the title. For out-of-state vehicles bring the out-of-state title or registration so we can do the VIN verification at the same time.
What happens if my car fails?
Failing is a diagnosis, not a dead end. We hand you the printout and walk you through exactly which monitor or reading failed. Ask about retest pricing when you call.
What is the Consumer Assistance Program?
CAP is a State of California program that can help income-eligible owners pay for emissions repairs, or retire an older vehicle. You apply through the Bureau of Automotive Repair. We give you the failure report you need and point you at the application.
My car was called a gross polluter. What now?
A gross polluter is a vehicle whose readings exceed twice the legal limit. It has to be repaired and then retested at a STAR station. Call with the report and ask whether we can run the retest.
Do you smog out-of-state, RV and diesel vehicles?
New-resident and out-of-state vehicles get a smog check plus VIN verification. Diesels from 1998 and newer under 14,000 lbs get the California diesel inspection. For a motorhome, call ahead with the length first.
