Our Smog Testing Process & Policies
We conduct smog inspections in Long Beach for all types of vehicles. We also perform out-of-state and change-of-ownership smog tests. Additionally, we ensure your DMV report submission is hassle-free by sending your inspection report directly to the DMV at no extra charge. As a state-certified smog facility, we operate as a STAR TEST ONLY STATION, meaning we do not perform any repairs. Our goal is for your vehicle to pass the inspection without any upsells or unexpected costs. If you pass your smog test, you're good to go. However, if your vehicle fails, we offer free retests for newer vehicles from 1999 and onward, while older vehicles can be retested for 50% of the original test fee. Please note that coupons cannot be applied for retests. If your vehicle does not pass and you require assistance with repairs, we recommend contacting the Consumer Assistance Program.

A Few Things to Know About a Smog Check
A smog check, smog test, and emission check all refer to the same thing: a test of a vehicle and its engine emissions performed at a licensed smog testing facility. In California, a smog inspection is necessary if the vehicle registration renewal notice indicates 'Smog Certification Required,' if the vehicle is being sold, or if the vehicle is being brought into California to be registered. Additionally, for DMV report submission, ensuring that the vehicle passes state-certified smog inspections in Long Beach is crucial.
