What is the Difference between Emissions Testing and a Smog Check?
Emissions Testing vs. Smog Check
State and local mandated emissions testing meets the EPA Tier 2 standard, while smog testing meets California's higher standard for EPA Tier 3.
How Do I Know If I Need a Smog Test?

- If you are selling a car or truck that is more than four years old
- When you register an out-of-state vehicle for the first time in California, you will need a smog check
- Every other year for vehicles that are more than six years old
When Is a Smog Check Not Required?

- Motorcycles do not need a smog check
- Got a classic car? Vehicles that are model-year 1975 and older do not require a smog check
- Vehicles six model years and newer do not require a biennial Smog check

Customer Testimonials
Jeff Parker, 12/04/20252015 Equinox timing chain slipped during start. Ryan got it right in for inspection and supplied pictures in email showing metal in oil along with bent valves. Matt took a look and suggested a remanufactured engine instead of used as these engines are known for oil consumption and timing chain issues. The remanufactured engine has upgraded high tension rings and more holes in piston for drainage. Their experience and reasonable quote convinced me to this route. They pulled the old one out and put the new one with no code issues. They tested it for 10 miles and it have had no issues to date. Very satisfied with service and good folks.

Rick , 05/13/2024"Matt did exactly what he said he would do in repairing my boat trailer bearings and installing new bearing buddy's. I'm out of town--- so he picked up trailer-completed work in timely fashion and returned my boat to same location for just a small charge. Thank you again Matt and I'll definitely use your business for my auto + boat needs!
