About this data

Where the list comes from and what it does and does not say
8in the directory
8license unexpired
24ymedian years licensed
204thby size in this category

El Cerrito, California has 8 stations, which is 0% of everything listed for California.

All of them sit in Contra Costa County.

Of the 8 entries here whose register publishes license dates, 8 have a license that has not expired. That split is computed from the expiry date each register publishes, rather than taken from any status the register may print.

Across the 8 entries with a recorded first-issue date, the median has held a license for 24 years. The longest-standing is Pauls Shop, first licensed in January 1974, 52 years ago.

The license classes represented here are Smog Station - Test & Repair (5), Smog Station - Test Only (3). The class is the source's own wording, not a label applied here.

This list publishes no phone numbers, so no listing drawn from it shows one. That is how the source publishes it, not a gap in this record.

The map positions were derived from the published street address through the US Census Bureau geocoder. No distance claim is made anywhere in this text; the "nearest to me" list computes straight-line distances in your own browser from your own location.

1 of the 8 entry could not be placed on a map: the register gives a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction rather than a street address, and 1 of those is currently on the register. They are listed and searchable here by name, city and county, and left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Guessing a plausible position for a PO box would be worse than admitting there is not one.

El Cerrito, California ranks 204th of the 587 cities covered in this category, holding 0% of the listings, ahead of 383 others.

For a wider choice, the largest cities in this category are Los Angeles (247), San Diego (186), San Jose (172), Sacramento (128). They are ordered by how many entries each holds, not by how close they are.

Every record on this page comes from Public licensee list (Automotive Repair), published by California Bureau of Automotive Repair on dca.ca.gov as dataset AutomotiveRepair_1310. Each card carries the date the record was last re-checked.

What the rules require

El Cerrito: questions

Where can I find stations in El Cerrito, CA?
8 stations in El Cerrito are on the official list: El Cerrito Honda at 11755 San Pablo Ave; Smog Depot Test Only at 11847 San Pablo Ave; Smogsters at 10791 San Pablo Ave, and 5 more listed above.
What is the nearest option outside El Cerrito?
Ben's Auto Repair in Richmond, about 1.4 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.
How many stations are there in Contra Costa county?
173 in Contra Costa county and 5,974 across California.
How many of these stations are still licensed?
8 of the 8 whose register publishes dates hold a license that has not expired. The official register lists live and lapsed records together; the split here is computed from the expiry date it publishes.
How long have they held their licenses?
Across the 8 with a recorded first-issue date the median is 24 years, and the longest is 52 years: Pauls Shop, first licensed in January 1974.
Why do the cards not show star ratings?
No public rating has been matched to any of these 8 records, so no stars are shown. The license record is the stronger signal in any case: where the register publishes them, the issue date, last renewal, expiry and the state license number all come from the issuing authority, which is not true of a star average.
Why are some entries missing from the map?
1 of these 8 records give a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction instead of a street address, so no coordinate could be derived for them. They are still listed and searchable by name, city and county, and they are left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Placing a PO box at a plausible-looking point would make the map look complete and be wrong.
