When you schedule your smog check at Chevrolet Van Nuys, you'll get a team of experts who understand what it takes to help your vehicle remain healthy and ready for what lies ahead. Your appointment starts with a visual inspection. Our experts will inspect your emission components to ensure there is no visual damage or other hindrances that may prevent them from performing at their best.
Next, we will perform a functional test. Modern vehicles are equipped with a computer that controls your vehicle's emissions. Using an On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) reader, we're able to see if your vehicle throws a code, telling us that there is an issue with your emission system.
We will run tests to check your emissions' levels of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. By performing these tests, we're better able to ascertain the state and quality of your vehicle's emission system.
If an issue is found during the visual or functional inspections, our experts will share the results with you and help you come up with a plan of action. We understand that your ability to travel is important. That is why we will get started on repairing your vehicle as soon as possible.
As our expert technicians perform the maintenance your vehicle needs, we will ensure you stay informed of every aspect of your service so that you can make the right call regarding your vehicle's maintenance.
Smog checks are required by California state law. This law excludes certain vehicles like electric vehicles, motorcycles, and trailers. If you're a new California resident, you're required to have your vehicle tested as part of your initial registration process.
A smog check is required every two years for vehicle registration renewal. If you fail to perform this required check, you may face adverse consequences, including rejection of your registration.
Staying on top of the health of your vehicle's smog system will help you in the long run. By ensuring that you're compliant with state regulations, you can drive with greater peace of mind.
