"A Test Only Center is exactly like a regular smog check station except that they do not and cannot do any vehicle repair.
They can do oil changes but very few elect this option. If your car failed the smog check, they cannot change your oil , if the oil change might be part of the smog repair.
Test only centers only do smog checks.
They have the same Smog Test equipment as a Test and Repair Station.
If you fail at a Test Only Center, you go to a state certified Smog Test and Repair Station for your repair, or you can fix it yourself. After your vehicle is repaired, you go back to the Test Only Center for the final smog test.
The state picks out a percentage of the vehicle population. These vehicles are required to go to a Test Only Center.
The state of California monitors all Smog Checks that have been done statewide. Based on this, they pick out Test Only Center directed vehicles. They call them H.E.P. ( High Emitter Profile ) vehicles.
Just to be fair they also pick some vehicles at random . If you have a 4 or 5 year old model vehicle, and you got picked for Test Only, you are one of the random selections.
Why are Smog Test Only Centers so exspensive ?
Test Only Centers recieve state directed vehicles, they do not compete with the Test and Repair stations.Test and Repair Stations far out number Test Only Centers."
