Yes! We offer on-site vehicle registration renewal services after a passing smog check has been completed, so you can complete your smog check and submit the necessary info to the DMV for registration renewal in one easy visit. DMV will mail your registration and sticker directly to the address your vehicle is registered to in just a few days (so you can move on with your day!).

If your car doesn’t pass the smog test, it means there’s an issue with its emissions system that needs to be addressed. You’ll need to get it repaired and then come back for a retest. If repairs don’t resolve the issue, you may qualify for a waiver under certain conditions in Nevada. Feel free to ask us for guidance—we’re here to help you through the process.

Yes, the fee for the smog inspection is the same whether your vehicle passes or fails. This is because the fee covers the cost of performing the test. If your vehicle fails, we can help you understand what might need fixing so you can prepare for a retest.

A rejected smog test happens when your vehicle’s onboard computer isn’t ready to be tested. This is common if the battery was recently disconnected or repairs were just made. To fix this, drive your car for a few days under normal conditions to allow the system to reset, and then return for testing. If you’re unsure, we can explain what’s going on.

There are a few key steps you can take to improve your chances of passing:

• Stay up-to-date on regular maintenance like oil changes and tune-ups.

• Resolve any issues causing the check engine light to come on before testing.

• Make sure your gas cap is tight and in good condition.

• If you’ve recently had repairs or disconnected the battery, drive your vehicle under normal conditions for several days to reset its readiness monitors.

Taking these steps can make the testing process smoother and increase the likelihood of passing.

While it’s not required, it can be a good idea. Dirty oil can sometimes contribute to higher emissions. If your car is due for an oil change, taking care of it beforehand may improve your results.

Most vehicles in Nevada require a smog check every year when they are registered or renewed. However, the frequency and need for a smog check can vary depending on where your vehicle is registered and how it was purchased:

• Clark and Washoe Counties: Vehicles registered in these counties must pass a smog check annually.

• Other Counties: Vehicles registered outside of Clark and Washoe counties are exempt from smog checks.

• New Vehicles: Exempt from smog checks for the first three registrations.

• Hybrid Vehicles: Exempt for the first five model years.

• Vehicles from 1967 or Earlier: Not required to pass smog checks.

• Diesel Vehicles: Only required if they have a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating of 14,000 pounds or less.

• Purchases from Nevada Dealers: If you purchase a new or used vehicle from a Nevada dealer and plan to register it in Clark or Washoe County, the dealer is required to provide a valid passing smog inspection. This test is valid for 180 days.

If you’re unsure about your specific situation, feel free to reach out, and we’ll help you figure out what you need!

No, we do not inspect diesel vehicles at this time. If you’re driving a diesel, we recommend checking with another station that specializes in diesel smog checks.
