To comply with state law, the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) directs a portion of the vehicles registered in Enhanced Smog Check Areas to Test-Only stations. Enhanced Areas are those parts of the state with “serious,” “severe,” or “extreme” ozone pollution problems. Test-Only stations are licensed Smog Check stations that, by law, are only allowed to test cars; they cannot repair them.
