BAR-97 testing for 1976–1999 vehicles.
Most newer vehicles get an OBD-based inspection. Many 1976–1999 vehicles require BAR-97 emissions testing instead — with specialized equipment and additional procedures that many shops no longer offer.
Whether you drive a classic, an older daily driver or a specialty vehicle, our team understands the unique challenges of aging emissions systems.
We find the cause — not just a part to replace.
A failed smog inspection doesn’t always mean an expensive repair. We use professional diagnostic equipment and decades of experience to pinpoint the real problem and get you back into compliance with California emissions standards.

Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection
Formerly known as the DMV “Brake & Lamp” test. VSSI is a comprehensive inspection required by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair — not a quick visual check.
Our licensed technician physically inspects, tests, measures, scans and road-tests your vehicle, then documents the results before a certificate of compliance can be issued. That’s why it takes time — and why it’s worth doing right.
