How do I get my Gross Polluter certified?

If your vehicle is tested and fails as a Gross Polluter, you must have it repaired and then have another Smog Check inspection to certify those repairs. A Gross Polluter may only be certified at either a Licensed Test-Only Station or a Gross Polluter Certification station. Licensed Test-Only stations are prohibited by law from performing diagnosis or repairs of any kind.

 Why a Test-Only Smog Check?

The Test-Only Stations' Role:  The addition of Test-Only Stations to the Smog Check program augments a service previously provided on a temporary basis by state-contracted Referee Centers. Now, owners of gross-polluting vehicles must have their vehicles tested and certified at either a Test-Only Station or a GPC station.

Additionally, under mandate, 30% of vehicles in Enhanced Areas must be inspected at Test-Only Stations for SmogCheck. DMV informs motorists of this requirement through the renewal notice.  All Test-Only directed consumers are eligible for repair and retirement assistance.
