Bring your DMV renewal notice if you have it — it tells us exactly what the state is asking for and lets us register you on the spot once you pass. For an out-of-state vehicle or a title transfer, bring your title or current registration instead. There’s no appointment and no line: pull up, hand over your keys, and we’ll take it from there. Not sure we can test your vehicle? We handle cars, hybrids, diesels, trucks, vans, SUVs, RVs and motor homes — just check the coupon pricing or give us a call.

An easy drive from Laguna Woods, with the same low price whether you bring a sedan, a truck, an SUV or the family motor home. Buying or selling? We do change-of-ownership smogs every day.
