Smog check rules and DMV offices for Manhattan Beach

California asks for a smog check at every other registration renewal once a gas or hybrid car is more than eight model years old. Diesels have no age exemption.

Selling a car older than four model years needs a certificate under 90 days old, and a car moving here from another state needs one to register.

Your DMV renewal notice is the final word for an address in Manhattan Beach. It says whether this year's renewal needs a check and whether it has to be at a STAR station.

Smog check questions

How much is a smog check in Manhattan Beach?
Each station sets its own price, and it varies by vehicle, so call ahead. Every station adds the $8.25 state certificate.
Test-only vs test & repair?
Test-only just runs the inspection. Test & repair can also fix a fail.
What do I bring?
Your DMV renewal notice and a way to pay. Most stations take walk-ins.
How long does a smog check take?
20–30 minutes. Call ahead to skip the wait.
Which Manhattan Beach smog stations are open on Sunday?
Only Manhattan Beach Toyota lists Sunday hours.
How long is a California smog certificate good for?
90 days from the test. A sale or a registration has to happen inside that window.
What is the smog abatement fee?
A yearly DMV fee for cars in their first eight model years, which skip the smog check. It's paid with registration, not at a station.
