A smog check and a smog test are the same. The difference is whether you get the smog check at a test only station, which is not what Dhillon Motorsports, formerly known as Smog Man San Jose, CA, is. We will not only give your vehicle a certified smog check, but we will also repair it if it fails.

A directed vehicle is required by the state to have its Smog Check performed at a station meeting certain performance standards. These standards are established under the STAR Program. Stations meeting these standards are certified by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR).

Your vehicles make, year and model could be High Emitter Profile (HEP) vehicle. Your car was most likely picked up in the High Emitter Profile. A HEP is a statistical model used to identify vehicles most likely to fail a Smog Check inspection.
