Smog Retest Policy
Smog retests are $10.00 within 15 business days (applies to both 2000/Newer and 1999/Older vehicles).
Past 15 Business Days
Anything past 15 business days, the customer pays normal price — unless an extension has been arranged with the shop beforehand.
Valid Extensions
Valid extensions include but are not limited to:
- The vehicle is in the shop for repairs longer than expected.
- The customer works Mon–Sat during business hours and cannot make it in (distance / lunch constraints, and no family or friends able to bring the car).
- The customer is out of town due to an emergency.
No-Show / Missed Appointment
If no communication was made or intended with the shop and the agreed-upon due date has passed, the customer pays full price for the inspection.
Certificate Fees
The state certificate fee is non-refundable once a vehicle passes and the certificate is issued.
Failed Inspections
A failed inspection is a completed service — the inspection fee still applies.
Payment
Payment is due at time of service.
Walk-Ins & Appointments
Walk-ins welcome. Appointments take priority.
- You must be provided a written estimate before any repair work begins.
- The final invoice cannot exceed the estimate without your written authorization.
- You may request the return of replaced parts, except warranty exchange parts.
