Inside a smog visit

From DMV notice
to test result.

Illustrative emissions assembly
  1. Start with your notice.

    Look for the smog requirement on your DMV notice. If it says STAR, mention that when calling. Bring the notice if you have it.

  2. Confirm your test.

    Have your vehicle’s year, make, model and fuel type ready. Ask about the total price, certificate fee and whether to schedule a visit.

  3. Know the outcome.

    A passing result goes to DMV electronically. If it fails, keep the inspection report and ask about diagnosis, repair and retest options.

What will my smog check cost?

Call for the current total for your vehicle, including any certificate fee. Ask about retest terms if you already have a failed report.

Can I walk in?

Call before heading over to confirm availability and whether to make an appointment.

What if my DMV notice says STAR?

Tell the shop when you call so it can confirm the right test for your vehicle. Bring the notice if you have it.

What happens after the test?

The station gives you an inspection report. A passing certificate is sent to the DMV electronically. If you fail, bring the report when discussing diagnosis and a retest.
