Smog check questions

How much is a smog check in Merced?
Each station sets its own price, and it varies by vehicle, so call ahead. Every station adds the $8.25 state certificate.
Test-only vs test & repair?
Test-only just runs the inspection. Test & repair can also fix a fail.
What do I bring?
Your DMV renewal notice and a way to pay. Most stations take walk-ins.
How long does a smog check take?
20–30 minutes. Call ahead to skip the wait.
Which Merced smog stations are open on Sunday?
5 list Sunday hours, including Merced Toyota, Ron Smith Gmc Lp, and Merced Honda.
How long is a California smog certificate good for?
90 days from the test. A sale or a registration has to happen inside that window.
What is the smog abatement fee?
A yearly DMV fee for cars in their first eight model years, which skip the smog check. It's paid with registration, not at a station.

Smog check rules and DMV offices for Merced

California asks for a smog check at every other registration renewal once a gas or hybrid car is more than eight model years old. Diesels have no age exemption.

Selling a car older than four model years needs a certificate under 90 days old, and a car moving here from another state needs one to register.

Your DMV renewal notice is the final word for an address in Merced. It says whether this year's renewal needs a check and whether it has to be at a STAR station.
