Who we are

A smog station that just tests.

White Ln Smog Check is a STAR-certified smog station on White Lane in Bakersfield. We do one thing and do it well: get you through your California smog check quickly, honestly and at one of the lowest prices in town.

Because we’re a test-only station, we never perform repairs. There’s no upsell and no reason to fail a vehicle unfairly — just a straight inspection at a flat $41.75 for most vehicles, plus the $8.25 certificate when you pass.

We test gas, diesel and hybrid vehicles for every DMV reason, and we’re licensed by the Bureau of Automotive Repair to certify STAR-directed vehicles and gross polluters. If a vehicle doesn’t pass, we explain exactly why and point you toward the state’s Consumer Assistance Program.

Who is White Ln Smog Check?

We’re a STAR-certified, test-only smog check station at 5333 White Ln #B in Bakersfield. We inspect and certify gas, diesel and hybrid vehicles for every DMV reason.

Are you licensed by the state?

Yes. We’re licensed by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR license #268024). You can verify it anytime on the Department of Consumer Affairs license search, linked on our resources page.

What does “test-only” mean for me?

It means we only inspect and certify vehicles; we never perform repairs. With nothing to sell you after the test, there’s no reason to fail a vehicle unfairly, so you get an honest result at a flat price.

What does STAR certification say about your station?

STAR stations meet the Bureau of Automotive Repair’s stricter performance standards and are monitored more closely than regular stations. It also means we can certify vehicles the DMV directs to a STAR station.

Why are your prices so low?

Smog testing is all we do, so we’re set up to test efficiently, and we never add repair work to the bill. That keeps our smog check at $41.75 for most vehicles, plus the $8.25 state certificate on a pass.
