About SmogCheckDeals
SmogCheckDeals is a directory of California smog check stations. Search your city or ZIP code and you get hours, license type, services, coupons, and a phone number for every station near you, so you can pick one before you drive across town.
We have listed California stations since 2009. Drivers use the site for free. Station owners claim their listing to keep details accurate, post coupons, and take bookings.
Where our smog check data comes from
Every station page and city page is built from the sources below, and each city page shows the date its data last changed.
| What you see | Source | How often we check it |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed stations, license type, address | The Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) license register, published by the Department of Consumer Affairs | Daily. A station whose license is no longer current gets a notice on its page. An unclaimed listing is removed once a second source (BAR’s Auto Shop Locator or Google) shows it closed; a claimed one is reviewed by a person. |
| STAR certification | BAR’s STAR program records | Last checked January 2026. Each station page links to BAR’s license lookup for its current standing. |
| Hours, phone, Google rating and review count | The station’s Google Maps business listing | On a rotating schedule, each station about every 90 days. Station owners can correct their own hours. |
| Coupons | The station: posted by the owner after we approve their claim to the listing, or by our team with the station’s written sign-off | Synced daily. A coupon comes down on its expiry date. We don’t test prices at the counter; the estimate the station must give you before the test is the price. |
| Average smog check price | BAR’s monthly Smog Check Executive Summary | Monthly. Pages quote the latest report (August 2026) as a statewide average, never as one station’s price. |
