How much is a smog check in Castroville?

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.

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 Castroville

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 Castroville. It says whether this year's renewal needs a check and whether it has to be at a STAR station.
