Testimonnials
LOVED this place! Bryan was probably the nicest guy I have ever met, very professional and very quick! He had my car checked in under 20 min. Price is very reasonable, I am going to recommend to EVERYONE that I know to go here! Thank you Bryan!!
I needed a smog certification immediately. (I waited until the day before my registration renewal was due…) FIC Smog was able to accommodate me even though I just stopped in to get it done.
They are fast and friendly!
It stinks when you realize you need to get your car smogged to renew its registration. FIC made it must less of a hassle. 20 minutes while the professional staff tests your car and sends the certificate to the DMV electronically. Second time I taken my truck there and there will be a third time most likely.
Clean Air,
Clean Station.

Frequently Asked
How long does it take?
Most smog checks can be completed in 20 minutes. If you call for an appointment we will be happy to accommodate your schedule. Please call 760-943-1600.
Do you take walk-ins?
Walk-ins Welcome!! Feel free to stop in without an appointment or call the same day to find out availability for your vehicle. We know your day is busy and we want to help you as efficiently as possible.
Do government-owned vehicles require a Smog Check?
Yes, passenger vehicles or light-duty trucks owned or leased by federal, state, county, city, and special district agencies require a Smog Check.
If I sell my vehicle, who is responsible for the change-of-ownership Smog Check?
Under California law, the seller is responsible for having a Smog Check performed on the vehicle and providing the buyer the certificate of compliance.
Is the Smog Check Program biased against older vehicles?
No. While California law requires the Smog Check Program to focus on high-polluting vehicles, the Smog Check Program also does not require older vehicles to meet the same emissions standards as newer vehicles. Smog Check emissions standards consider the vehicle type and model year so that a vehicle is never held to a standard that applied when the vehicle was originally manufactured.
