Types of California Smog Checks:

  • Basic Smog
For vehicles registered in San Luis Obispo county, the basic smog check is fine. 

For your convenience, we work on an appointment basis.   Same day smog appointment are often available - but fill up quickly.   We book appointments on a 30 minute interval.

  • Enhanced Smog
For vehicles registered in highly populated areas (example:  Los Angeles, San Francisco) the Enhanced Smog Check is required.   This smog check requires the vehicle run on a dynamometer, as part of the smog inspection.  Unfortunately,  we are not authorized to perform this types of checks. 

  • Diesel Smog
The Diesel Smog check is required for diesel vehicles and trucks from 1998 and newer. 


If your registration renewal  form says "take your vehicle to a Gold Shield, Test Only or Star Station" we will not be able to perform your smog.

If you are unsure which smog your vehicle needs, please give us a call.    We can run your drivers license plate number through the DMV portal.   DMV decides which type of smog you are needing -- not us.
