GIVE YOUR VEHICLE THE BEST CHANCES TO PASS

1. Perform regular maintenance & oil changes as recommended in owner’s manual

​

2. Drive your car some after your last oil change or repair. Some oil changers may include 10 to 20-point checks that may disconnect the battery.

Drive over a 100 miles of freeway and city to repopulate data after any battery disconnection.

Any battery disconnection will erase the computer chip of your car, this data needed for the test.

​

3. Choose a Star Certified TEST-ONLY Smog Check station. Star stations have proven their accuracy to the Bureau of Automotive Repair, we are allowed to smog any cars. As TEST-ONLY station, we are truly independent & we have no motive to fail your car.

4. Warm up your vehicle before the test : warmer engines have a better chance at passing smog.

5. Choose a station that offers FREE re-test. You may feel that your car will definitely pass, or is fairly new. While your engine emissions may seem fine, a California smog inspection covers more than what is coming out of your tailpipe. The computer on board of your vehicle, hoses, wiring under the hood are all part of the inspection required. If any of these components fail, you will need to repair them and go through another full smog inspection (State law prohibits partial retests).

Our FREE re-test gives you the peace of mind that you will not be double-charged.
