Where can I find California Vehicle Inspection Centers?

Answer:
California has some of the toughest emissions regulations

in the United States. Consequently, periodic vehicle inspections are mandatory for California vehicle owners, with very few exceptions (i.e., hybrids, diesel, electric, etc.).

Some areas of California require more stringent or more frequent vehicle inspections than others, so it is important to review the information provided at the California Department of Motor Vehicles "smog information" website, to clearly understand your specific vehicle inspection requirements.

Find California DMV locations.
