Smog check questions

How much is a smog check in San Luis Obispo?
Each station sets its own price, and it varies by vehicle, so call ahead. Every station adds the $8.25 state certificate.
Do I need a STAR station?
Only if your DMV renewal notice says STAR. 4 of San Luis Obispo's 25 stations qualify.
Test-only vs test & repair?
Test-only just runs the inspection. Test & repair can also fix a fail.
What do I bring?
Your DMV renewal notice and a way to pay. Most stations take walk-ins.
How long does a smog check take?
20–30 minutes. Call ahead to skip the wait.
Which San Luis Obispo smog stations are open on Sunday?
8 list Sunday hours, including Sunset Honda, Villas South Street Service, and Toyota San Luis Obispo.
How long is a California smog certificate good for?
90 days from the test. A sale or a registration has to happen inside that window.
What is the smog abatement fee?
A yearly DMV fee for cars in their first eight model years, which skip the smog check. It's paid with registration, not at a station.

Smog check rules and DMV offices for San Luis Obispo

California asks for a smog check at every other registration renewal once a gas or hybrid car is more than eight model years old. Diesels have no age exemption.

Selling a car older than four model years needs a certificate under 90 days old, and a car moving here from another state needs one to register.

Your DMV renewal notice is the final word for an address in San Luis Obispo. It says whether this year's renewal needs a check and whether it has to be at a STAR station.
