Two prices, and both of them are the number you actually pay. No fee added at the counter, because the state certificate is already in it.
The shop down the road: $49.75 advertised, $58.00 at the counter.
Cars built from 2000 on carry a standardized onboard computer. We read it directly, so there's no tailpipe probe and no dynamometer.
The state requires these to be run on a dynamometer with a tailpipe probe. It takes longer and uses more equipment, which is why it costs more.
Every passing smog check carries an $8.25 certificate fee set by the state. It is not optional. The only question is whether the shop quotes it to you up front.
Same test, same certificate, same state database. $8 back in your pocket, and no surprise at the counter.
These still need testing in California, and we can usually do them, but the price depends on the vehicle. Call before you drive over. price for 1976-1995 vehicles
You don't have to bring anything. Telling us at the counter is enough.
Not valid with other coupons or offers. Excludes RVs, exotics, heavy-duty commercial diesel and vehicles with aftermarket emissions parts.
Different test. Cars from 2000 on have a standard onboard computer we can read directly. 1996–1999 cars have to be run on a dynamometer with a probe in the tailpipe, which takes longer and uses more equipment.
Cash and credit cards, both fine.
RVs and motorhomes, exotics, heavy-duty commercial diesel, and vehicles with aftermarket emissions parts. If you're unsure, call and ask before you drive over.
If your car is unusual, call and ask. We'd rather tell you on the phone than have you drive over for nothing.
