What Does Fast Automotive Center Do During a Smog Check?

Next, we will inspect your car or truck's gas cap, ignition timing, exhaust gas recirculation system, fuel, and evaporative system.

Finally, we will perform a Tailpipe Emissions Inspection which measures the type and quantity of any pollutant emitted from your vehicle's tailpipe.

Smog Testing vs. Emissions Testing
Many customers confuse smog and emissions testing, thinking they're the same, but they measure different things. Smog checks and emissions tests assess various levels of hydrocarbons, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and oxides to determine a vehicle's impact on the environment. Discover the difference between smog testing and emissions testing.

Visiting from LA for the weekend, car broke down unexpectedly in San Marcos, on a Saturday at 3 PM! Ralph, and Al were super helpful and accommodating. Very nice and genuine. Stayed past their closing time trying to help with the issue and even gave us a ride back to our Airbnb. Great business. Thanks Ralph!
