Smog Repair FAQ
Can you fix failed smog issues?
Yes. We specialize in the mechanical and electrical repairs required to resolve emissions failures, including EVAP leaks, sensor faults, and engine management issues.
Do repairs guarantee passing?
While we cannot issue the smog certificate, our repairs are designed to meet all technical requirements for a pass. We verify all monitors are "Ready" before you leave our shop.
What if my check engine light is still on?
You cannot pass smog with a check engine light. We must first diagnose and repair the fault triggering the light, then complete a drive cycle to set the monitors.
