Vehicles We Smog Check in Carlsbad, CA
Carlsbad STAR Smog Check smog checks every make of gas car, truck, SUV and hybrid at our STAR station on Palomar Airport Rd. Ford, Honda and Toyota lead our job photos, and the grid below shows the rest. We're open seven days; walk in or book online.
The inspection equipment doesn't care what badge is on the grille, whether it's a commuter sedan from Aviara or a work truck from the Palomar Airport business park. Makes in bold have come through our bay recently, according to our own job photos.

Japanese makes
Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, and Subaru make up a big share of North County's driveways, and they make up a big share of our inspections too. Civics, Foresters, Altimas, and Tacomas are routine here.
European makes
Volkswagen is one of our most frequent visitors, and we also see Audi, BMW, MINI, Porsche, and Fiat regularly. European cars take the same state inspection as everything else.
Domestic trucks and SUVs
Ford leads our job photos, with plenty of F-150s, Escapes, and Broncos alongside Jeep Wranglers and Cherokees. Work vehicles are welcome. For a diesel, call (760) 814-2021 to confirm we can test your diesel.
Hybrids
Hybrid owners in Carlsbad bring their cars to us regularly; hybrids are part of the state program. Electric-only vehicles are left out of it.
For what to bring, how the inspection works, and what happens if a car doesn't pass, see our STAR smog check page.
