Vehicle Inspection Stations in Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles, California has 247 stations across 45 ZIP codes, which is 4% of everything listed for California.

All of them sit in Los Angeles County.

Of the 247 entries here whose register publishes license dates, 246 have a license that has not expired and 1 has one that has lapsed. That split is computed from the expiry date each register publishes, rather than taken from any status the register may print.

A lapsed record is kept on the page rather than hidden, because a reader ringing round is better served knowing which is which. Every card says plainly which state it is in.

Across the 247 entries with a recorded first-issue date, the median has held a license for 9 years. The longest-standing is B & J Service Center, first licensed in January 1981, 45 years ago.

The license classes represented here are Smog Station - Test Only (153), Smog Station - Test & Repair (89), Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection Station (5). 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 247 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.

Los Angeles, California ranks 1st of the 587 cities covered in this category, holding 4% of the listings, ahead of 586 others.

For a wider choice, the largest cities in this category are San Diego (186), San Jose (172), Sacramento (128), Fresno (100). 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.
