Rich's Auto Repair & Smog

Smog Check in Sonora, CA

Need A SMOG CHECK IN SONORA, CA?

Have you ever noticed large amounts of black smoke emitting from your tailpipe? In order to improve air quality, it's important to undergo periodic emissions testing, or smog checks. Checking for smog helps us identify the vehicles that are releasing excessive emissions, and then develop a repair plan for this issue based on local regulations.

Serving Sonora, Rich's Auto Repair & Smog can perform a certified Smog Inspection for any make or model! Our state-of-the-art equipment will have your vehicle inspected in no time.

A smog inspection is required for most vehicles registered in California. California is one of the first states to take action regarding the smog polluting the air by instituting this particular emissions control measure.

There are some vehicles that are the exception to the rule so check the list below to see if yours fits into one of the corresponding categories:

Diesel-powered vehicles made before 1997 with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of more than 14,000 lbs.

Vehicles made in 1975 or before

Hybrids

Motorcycles

Natural Gas-powered Vehicles

Electric Vehicles

Trailers

In the event that you buy or transfer a vehicle that is four or fewer model years, smog certification is not a requirement. But if the model is older than 4 years old then the consumer is required to pay a smog transfer fee. For more information on emissions testing and fees visit the California Department of Motor Vehicles website and be sure to schedule an appointment with us!

I had a blown head gasket and Billy ordered the new motor, and gave me an estimate. We took the car in on Friday afternoon and they had it ready by Thursday morning. Less then a week to install a new motor. Everything was perfect! My husband and I couldn't have been more pleased and the estimate was within $20. Wow! Great folks, fast service and wonderful work. We will be bringing in the truck next month to get it serviced next. Thanks so much guys!
