Why
does my vehicle have to be inspected at a Test-Only Station?
"In order to
comply with the mandates of the federal Clean Air Act, the
Department of Consumer Affairs/Bureau of Automotive Repair (DCA/BAR)
began directing fifteen percent (15%) of all vehicles in
Enhanced Areas to Test Only Stations in 1998. However,
DCA/BAR has gradually increased the number of vehicles
directed to Test-Only stations to continually improve program
effectiveness and comply with the emission reduction objectives
set forth in the State Implementation Plan, which is a master
plan for complying with federal air quality requirements."
Motorist Notification.
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) notifies owners of
vehicles which have been selected to have their initial Smog
Check inspections performed at Test-Only Stations. The
Registration Renewal Notice sent to these vehicle owners will
say "Smog Certification Required at Test-Only Facility." If this
statement is on your Renewal Notice and you take the vehicle to
a test-and-repair station, the technician at the station will be
unable to certify your vehicle. These
vehicles must be inspected at a Test-Only Station.
