What Does Ken's Auto Center Do During a Smog Check?
We inspect your car or truck's emissions-control equipment to measure the number of pollutants your vehicle is emitting.
First, Ken's Auto Center will analyze your car or truck's OBD computer system, emissions-control system, and check engine light codes for standard warnings that your emissions system is no longer functioning properly.
Next, we will inspect your car or truck's gas cap, ignition timing, exhaust gas recirculation system, fuel, and evaporative system.
Finally, we will perform a Tailpipe Emissions Inspection which measures the type and quantity of any pollutant emitted from your vehicle's tailpipe.

Smog Testing FAQs
How long does a smog check take?
A standard smog check usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. Older vehicles, large commercial vans, or RVs may take longer if they require specialized testing equipment.
What happens if my car fails the smog test?
If your car fails a smog test, the emissions issue will generally need to be diagnosed and repaired before the vehicle can pass a retest. Depending on local requirements, passing the test may be necessary before completing your vehicle registration renewal.
Which vehicles are exempt from smog checks?
Smog check exemptions vary by state and can depend on factors such as a vehicle's model year, fuel type, and ownership status. Check your local emissions-testing requirements to determine whether your vehicle qualifies for an exemption.
