How much does a smog check cost in Irvine?
BAR does not regulate smog check prices, so each station in Irvine sets its own. The station must give you an estimate that you approve before the inspection starts, and it must charge the $8.25 Smog Check certificate fee. Call two or three stations before you go. Our cost guide explains what moves the price.
How long does a smog check take in Irvine?
BAR says an inspection usually takes about 30 minutes. Time spent waiting depends on the station, so call ahead. More in our guide to smog check times.

Do I need a smog check in Irvine?
If your DMV registration renewal notice says a smog certification is required, yes. Most gasoline, hybrid and alternative-fuel vehicles from model year 1976 on need a smog check every other year, with exceptions listed in our requirements guide.
STAR, test-only or test-and-repair?
BAR describes three kinds of stations that can perform an inspection. A test-and-repair station performs smog checks and emissions repairs. A test-only station performs smog checks but does not make emissions repairs. A STAR station meets higher performance standards and can inspect all vehicles, including high-polluting ones.
