Get A Complete Smog Check Service At Affordable Price




Drivers in California have a responsibility for protecting the environment from the harmful pollutants. Smog-Latino is committed to helping drivers fulfill this responsibility through its Star-certified test and repair facilities.

Our star certified station performs vehicle smog tests that are required every two years. We are family-owned and will provide an honest assessment of the situation with a three-part test consisting of visual inspection, a functional examination and an emissions evaluation during a smog check service.

In the event of a test failure, the vehicle's owner will be provided with all the information and we can also perform the required repair at a very minimal price.

The smog Tests can only be performed by specialized licensed smog check service stations. Vehicles manufactured in 1996 or after will receive an On-Board Diagnostics emission test. During this test, the mechanic will connect a testing device to the vehicle’s OBD computer to analyze data during the emissions system.


If the battery has been disconnected for any reason, do not immediately have the emissions test. It is highly recommended that the vehicle be driven for up to one week for the OBD system to reset properly. Testing too soon will result in a failed smog check. A vehicle that emits smoke will fail the emissions inspection and will not qualify for a waiver. Vehicles emitting visible smoke make be ticketed by law enforcement.
Vehicles manufactured prior to 1996 will receive a Two-Speed Idle Smog test. The technician will test the engine at idle speed and then again at 2,500 RPMs. A Dynamometer will be used on older model diesel engines.

Unless your car is a brand new one, you might think that passing the test is up to fate. But there are actually several steps you can consider to increase your chances of passing the California smog check: 1. Check the Check Engine light of the vehicle: If your car displays the Check Engine light, that will result in an automatic smog check failure. You will need to get a diagnosis and fix it before you test. 2. Drive the car at the highway two weeks prior to the smog test: Doing this gets the catalytic converter hot enough to burn out any oil and gas residues in the tapeline. The catalytic converter converts the harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions before they leave the exhaust ...
