How much does a test only smog check cost? Does a test only center charge more?

I have always received excellent service here. All staff members are knowledgeable, personable, and competent. I had an issue with a coupon, my fault, and I submitted a query using the form on their website. Cary White replied and resolved my issue in a manner more generous than I had hoped or expected. Keep up the excellent customer service, thank you!

Okay...so I had to get a smog certificate for my wife's car and this place was right in my backyard. It is located on the corner of San Juan and Winding way in Fair Oaks. No issues with parking and my technician Steve was friendly and helpful to my needs. I didn't have to wait too long at all and he was done in about half an hour. Be sure to check in for a nice discount for all your smog certification needs.

I'll admit that I went by another smog shop first, but the owner/operator's grumpy attitude left a lot to be desired, so I just left. While sitting in my truck I checked online for other places nearby and thought I'd give San Juan a shot since they were close. I'm so glad I did! There was only one employee working when I got there (without an appointment no less) but I he got me signed in right away and started in on my truck. In what seemed like no time at all he was finished and explained all of the DMV info to me. Very nice guy who takes care of business, no razzle dazzle, no games... I'll definitely be back.

Five stars across the board , I hope I'm remembering her name correctly , the woman Tracy was fast and amazing , I was impressed even more that a woman was completely my service fully glammed up !! , if that's not a boss babe I don't know what is !!, anywho , she was fast and efficient, she even checked my tire pressure for me since the light was on , I was In and out In like 15-20 mins , I found them on Groupon and will definitely be returning and telling all my friends about this place

The employee was so nice. The office is clean. The smog did not take long at all! I went there on a Sunday afternoon with only 1 person ahead of me it maybe took 30 minutes. I was very pleased. Highly recommend.

It was fast and easy and their very friendly, but be careful with the Groupon thing apparently I didn't qualify.

Usually available for smog cert most times I have driven in shop & performs certification immediately. Thanx

4worldlovers:
The Smog Busters recommend the following maintenance tips to ensure your vehicle is operating cleanly to pass the state-mandated Smog Check. SMOG Busters offers Test-Only Smog Checks at its facility in Roseville. A local DMV office will issue vehicle registration stickers once your vehicle has passed the Smog Check.


Make sure your tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Make sure the "check engine" light or any other dashboard warning lights are NOT on. Make sure that your vehicle has no fluid leaks and no safety issues. Remember, your vehicle will be strapped down on a dynamometer and required to perform flawlessly under stressful conditions.

Our prices will not be beat! I have been servicing the Roseville area for more then 15 years.

Experience was GREAT!! Nick gets you in & out with No Problems Much Appreciate!!

Best deal in town! Very fast and inexpensive. Use the online deal for bigger savings. Cheaper than Groupon deal! Will bring all my (non Star Compliant) vehicles here in the future.

4worldlovers: Test-Only stations are licensed by the state only to perform tests on vehicles. They are prohibited from performing any repair services. Gross Polluters can also be certified at these stations.


The Department of Motor Vehicles renewal notice will indicate whether a Smog Check is required to re- register your vehicle. Most areas of the state require vehicles to have a Smog Check performed every two years, when being sold, and when being initially registered in California.

Not all vehicles must get a Smog Check. Smog Check need depends on the type of vehicle, the model-year, and the area in which the vehicle is registered. Additionally, some vehicles only need a Smog Check when they are being sold or being registered in California after previously being registered in another state.

If you received the DMV registration renewal paper saying “SMOG Certification Required at a STAR station”, you are at the right place. Premier Star Smog is a Star Certified Smog Check Station. STAR Smog Station means, DMV has chosen your car to be inspected at a smog station which is monitored closely by the BAR (Bureau of Automotive Repair) and must conform to high standards established by the Bureau of Automotive Repairs.

What is the difference between a regular smog station and a STAR smog station?

STAR smog stations will be able to issue a certificate of compliance to a vehicle passing a smog check when a motorist is referred by the DMV to such a station for vehicle registration renewal. A non “star” station may not issue a certificate to the motorist’s vehicle. They may however, test and issue certificates to vehicles not directed by the DMV to a “STAR” smog check station.

How much does a test only smog check cost? Does a test only center charge more?

Smog test only stations are not allowed to profit or perform any auto repairs, whether smog check related or not. In the past smog test only centers typically charged more for their smog inspection in order to cover their expenses. In today’s market however, with competition being so great, and the fact that there are plenty of test only directed vehicles to go around, the cost of the test only smog check has been dramatically reduced.

Proper and regular maintenance according to your Owner’s Manual, and not tampering with the emissions control equipment are keys to passing Smog Check and lowering emissions from your vehicle. Also a good 15 minute drive helps to ensure a proper warm-up of all emission related components which helps out in the emissions part of the smog check.

First and foremost we’ll help explain to you why you failed and some suggestions as to what to do next. You will also need to get your vehicle repaired so it can pass its Smog Check retest in order to complete your registration.

How can I learn if I need smog check and what are the pre and post procedures?

Please check California Bureau of Automotive Repair website for step by step procedures.

Please refer to California Bureau of Automotive Repair website where you can enter license plate or vehicle identification number (VIN) to check the history.

You may qualify for up to $500 in financial assistance to repair your car if it requires a Smog Check at a Test-Only station and failed that test. The Bureau of Automotive Repair Retirement Program is now offering $1000.00 for eligible motorists to voluntarily retire their high-polluting vehicles. If you don’t think it’s worth repairing the Bureau of Automotive Repair may buy your car!
