Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Tire pressure? What does that have anything to do with a smog test? Surprisingly, it does. During a smog test, a technician may drive your car on a dynamometer to obtain the necessary readings. Proper tire pressure is required to make sure your car remains stable during the test. As surprising as it may sound, a car’s tire pressure can be a critical factor in passing a smog check, especially for borderline cases.

FAQs

How Often Does The DMV Require Smog Inspections?

The DMV requires smog inspection for 90% of vehicles, biennially. Some vehicles registered in rural areas are only required to complete a smog inspection during Change-of-Ownership and initial registration in California.

Is my vehicle subject to a Smog Check?

Gasoline-powered vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and alternative-fuel vehicles that are model year 1976 and newer require a Smog Check, with the following exceptions: Six model-years and newer do not need a biennial (every other year) inspection.

When is my vehicle required to have a Smog Check?

If your vehicle is subject to a Smog Check, your DMV registration renewal notice will indicate every other year that a Smog Check is required. A Smog Check inspection is also required when a vehicle is sold or when registering a vehicle for the first time in California.

Do I need to take anything with me to my Smog Check?

If your DMV registration renewal notice requires a Smog Check, remember to take the notice with you. This will help ensure that the correct vehicle information and test results are electronically sent to DMV.

What is a STAR station?

Some vehicles require a Smog Check at a STAR station. STAR stations must meet specified performance standards established by BAR. Some STAR stations are licensed to perform only tests, while others are licensed to perform both tests and repairs. The station is required to post a sign on the services it is licensed to perform.
