Hybrid Smog Check in Encinitas, CA

• Your hybrid.
• Your DMV renewal notice or the documents DMV sent you. It tells you whether a smog certification is needed this cycle and whether a STAR station is required. Your DMV renewal notice may require a STAR station. We are STAR certified.

We explain the report, then our technicians find the cause. We work on hybrids, hybrid batteries included, so the repair can happen here after you approve a written estimate. If your car fails and we do the repair here, the smog check fee is credited toward the repair.

$30 smog retest. One discounted retest for the same vehicle at the same station within 30 calendar days of the original paid, failed inspection. The retest is $21.75; if the vehicle passes, the $8.25 state certificate brings the total to $30. If it fails again, the retest is $21.75. A completed inspection that fails because readiness monitors are not ready counts as the retest. An inspection we abort costs nothing and does not use the retest; the 30-day window still applies. Additional retests and returns after 30 days are charged at posted regular prices. Repairs are not included.

Replaced the 12-volt battery recently, or had codes cleared? Drive normally for a week or two before testing so the readiness monitors can reset. Some emissions repairs may be covered by your manufacturer's warranty; your owner's manual has the details.
