A tip for passing a smog test is to ensure the vehicle's Check Engine light is not on since this will automatically result in a failed test. In general, it's important to have your car's illuminated Check Engine light investigated whenever it pops up, as it could indicate a problem that could jeopardize your safety on the road. Alternatively, it could point to an issue that is making your car less efficient, which could cost you money on gas.

In addition, stay on top of your car's maintenance. Most problems that lead to a vehicle failing an emissions test can be easily caught and fixed during the routine multi-point inspections we can perform with any oil change.

Frequently Asked Questions

---

How long does a car inspection take?

An average smog check takes between twenty and thirty minutes. During the test, the tailpipe emissions are tested for pollutant levels. If your car fails the vehicle emissions test, all repairs will need to be completed by a recognized mechanic, and the vehicle will need to be retested. We recommend having your car inspection performed at our certified smog test location in Houston.

What is included in a car inspection?

What usually happens is a visual inspection of all equipment and a test of the vehicle's computer and onboard diagnostic codes. After no issues that would trigger your Check Engine light are detected, an emissions test will evaluate the pollutant levels in your car's exhaust to ensure it is not above the maximum amount.

What will fail a car inspection?

Several things will cause a car to fail inspection. A check engine light will automatically fail an emissions test. A faulty catalytic converter will also fail a smog check because this component is responsible for the exhaust's carbon monoxide levels. A dirty air filter and a gas cap that isn't sealed properly can also trigger a failed test.
