In search of smog repair near Santa Ana? Come visit the pros at Buddy’s Auto Repair for your next smog check and smog test. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency started the smog check station process in an effort to protect the public health and the environment from air pollution. There are four components to the standard smog check inspection in the state of California. The first component of the test being the visual inspection. This is to ensure all emissions components are properly attached to your vehicle. From there, we move onto the functional inspection of the car’s exhaust gas re-circulation system. Here we’re taking a look at the ignition timing, gas cap, check engine light, and fuel evaporation system.
The third step is the functional inspection of the on-board diagnostic system. Here, we use our state-of-the-art tools and technologies to download information from the vehicle’s diagnostic computer and see what is not functioning properly. Lastly, before we recommend smog repair near Santa Ana, we’ll measure the two-speed idle. The point of this test is to check emissions from your tail pipe as the engine idles at various levels and speeds. If your vehicle fails the smog check this is when we recommend the services necessary to entirely fix it, or at least get it to the point it will not fail.
