What Does Gilbert Motor Service 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, Gilbert Motor Service 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.

Did You Pass Your Smog Test?

Great! If your vehicle passes a smog check, Gilbert Motor Service will provide you a vehicle inspection report showing your vehicle's results and will electronically send the smog certificate to DMV.

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.

Excellent service

Kay F.

It's always with confidence that I bring my cars to Gilbert Motor Service. Darren Gilbert, the owner, is a master mechanic, and I know my car will be serviced properly at his facility. Friendly staff, and great results. Repairs and service are much more reasonably priced than at the dealer's ! If you want your vehicle repaired or serviced properly, take it to Gilbert Motors.

Jerry G.

5000 mile service on my Lexus UX 250h. The dealers wanted significantly more and the hours I would spend at the dealer made me check with Darren at Gilberts. He recommended an oil change every 5000 miles not 10000 as the dealer states. His opinion was that 10000 miles was too long and could cause long term damage to the engine. Even with the oil change his price was less than any dealer charged just for brake and fluid check and tire rotation. Needless to say I will be back in 5000 miles!
