No repair shop. No reason to fail you.

Test Only

A Test Only station is licensed to test, not fix. We don’t sell parts or repairs, so there’s no upsell waiting on the other side of your results. You get an unbiased test and a straight answer.

STAR Certified

The state holds STAR stations to tougher performance standards, and only STAR stations can certify directed vehicles, including ones flagged as gross polluters. If your DMV notice says “STAR station required,” you’re in the right place.

How long does a smog check take?

Most cars, SUVs and pickups are done in about 20 to 30 minutes once they're in the bay. Diesels, RVs and Clean Truck Check tests can take a little longer. No appointment needed: just pull in.

Do I need a smog check to renew my DMV registration?

If your renewal notice says "Smog Certification Required," yes. Most California vehicles need one every two years, when they change owners, and when they're registered here for the first time from out of state. Results go to the DMV electronically, so there's no paperwork to carry over.

Which vehicles need a smog check in California?

Gas and hybrid vehicles from 1976 and newer, and diesel vehicles from 1998 and newer with a GVWR of 14,000 lbs or less. Vehicles eight model years old or newer usually skip the two-year check (you pay a smog abatement fee instead), but can still need one when sold. Electric vehicles, motorcycles and gas vehicles 1975 and older are exempt.
