Before you arrive,
let’s clear a few things up.
A few straightforward answers, with a real person available when you need more help.
Can I stop in without an appointment?
Yes. Walk-ins are welcome during our posted hours. If you have a particular vehicle or a tight schedule, call first to check testing availability.
What should I bring with me?
Bring the vehicle, any inspection notice you have, and your coupon before testing starts. Tell us about recent repairs or battery work.
How much does a smog check cost?
The test and price depend on your vehicle. Ask for a quote with your year, make and model. Confirm the total, applicable fees and coupon eligibility before testing.
What does STAR mean for my inspection?
STAR stations meet additional performance standards. If your inspection notice calls for a STAR station, let us know so we can confirm the appropriate test.
What happens if my vehicle does not pass?
We explain your inspection report. This is a test-only station; emissions-related repairs need an appropriate repair facility. A passing result cannot be guaranteed.
Can you check my diesel vehicle?
Call with the model year, make, model and weight information. We’ll confirm whether the shop can perform the test your vehicle needs.
Do I need to warm up my car?
Normal driving before your visit is useful. Warning lights, incomplete readiness monitors and recent battery disconnections need attention too. Read our preparation guide or call with questions.
How long should I allow?
Time varies with your vehicle, the inspection and the queue. Call the shop for current availability rather than relying on a fixed turnaround promise.
