California has the strictest emissions laws in the country. A failed smog isn't just inconvenient — you can't register your vehicle until you fix it. We specialize in CARB-compliant smog repair, and we know what the BAR really requires. No shortcuts, no illegal parts, no surprises. A licensed Supercanic repair facility in California.
California smog reports are detailed. We read them carefully — emissions exceedances, visual inspection failures, functional test failures, OBD-II readiness issues. Each failure points to specific repairs.
A P0420 code doesn't always mean the catalytic converter is bad — it can be O2 sensors, exhaust leaks, fuel trim issues, or a failing engine. We diagnose properly before recommending a $1,200 cat.
California requires Executive Order (EO) numbers on catalytic converters and many emissions components. We install only CARB-legal parts — and we keep the paperwork to prove it.
After repair we drive the vehicle through a full drive cycle while watching Mode 6 (the OBD-II emissions data the smog station will see). If the cat efficiency monitor is still failing, we catch it here, not at the smog station.
California requires all OBD-II monitors to be 'ready' for a smog pass (one allowed not-ready in some cases). We drive the specific drive cycle for your vehicle to set all monitors before you go to the smog station.
We provide repair documentation. If your vehicle qualifies for the State's Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) for income-qualified residents, we can perform repairs as a licensed BAR shop and document everything for the program.
Standard on most repairs. Parts and labor. If something we touched fails, we fix it again — no charge, no argument. That's how locally-owned shops have to operate.
