FAQ

What is test only smog?

A test only smog is a regular smog inspection done at a facility that can not do repairs. This simply takes away the conflict of interest that a smog repair center has of selling repairs. This insures you are getting the fairest test possible. Also, if the vehicle failed we insure your repairs were done correctly. Sort of a double check to protect your wallet against bad repair work.

My vehicle is not required to go to a test only center . Can you test my vehicle?

Yes. We are unrestricted so we are allowed to test any vehicle for smog and a large number of our customers choose us over test and repair to do their smog inspection because they don’t want to be sold extras that may not be needed.

What if my vehicle fails ?

If your vehicle fails we offer a 30 day retest ( restrictions apply ). This gives you time to choose a certified smog repair shop that is required to staff a certified smog repair technician. These shops have the knowledge and equipment to fix your vehicle to the proper standards.

What work should be done to my get my vehicle ready for the smog check?

To protect your wallet always have your vehicle smog checked before any repairs are made. We have found that most people who make repairs before the test take their vehicle to an unqualified mechanic who spends your money on needless and unknowledgeable repairs.

My registration is past due. What if my vehicle fails?

Our failed inspection report can be taken to the DMV or AAA (must be member) where you can pay the registration fees and receive an extension so you can legally drive the vehicle while you get the repairs completed.
