SoCal smog check - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #40573 5 posts Started by MaskedMan
Hey guys, i just bought a car, and i need to get it smogged before i can register it. I just moved to California like a year ago, and i don't know where any smog places are. Can anyone recommend a place to go and tell me how much they charge? I live in SanGabriel California 91770, thanks smile.gif
every other gas station does smog checks. they usually charge 30 to 60 bucks.
Can anywhere do it, or do i have to get a certificate from them and bring it to the DMV with me?

Just go there and say I need a smog to register my car. They'll take care of you.

BTW the previous owner by law is supposed to smog it before he sold it to you. I would make him pay for the smog.

Thanks guys. The previous owner is going to be out of town for the next 2 days, and i want the car smogged and legal so i can make it to the SoCal meet this Saturday biggrin.gif (even though i wont have a 6GC with me frown.gif ). And i don't really mind paying the $60 or so, but thanks for the info, i'll keep that in mind next time i buy a car smile.gif If my car passes, and i register and transfer the title tomorrow, then everything is good to go smile.gif
