A smog test (also called a smog check) is a mandatory inspection of your car’s emissions control system to ensure it meets environmental standards. These tests are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and enforced by your state’s DMV or air resources board.
Smog tests:
Help reduce harmful pollutants
Ensure your engine runs efficiently
They are required for vehicle registration in many states
Can identify engine issues before they worsen
If your check engine light is on, your vehicle will likely fail the smog test, making it critical to address any issues before testing.
Understanding where to go for your smog check matters:
