About this data

Where the list comes from and what it does and does not say
8in the directory
8license unexpired
22ymedian years licensed
209thby size in this category

Palo Alto, California has 8 stations across 2 ZIP codes, which is 0% of everything listed for California.

All of them sit in Santa Clara 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 22 years. The longest-standing is Magnussen Toyota/scion Of Palo Alt, first licensed in June 1990, 36 years ago.

The license classes represented here are Smog Station - Test & Repair (6), Smog Station - Test Only (2). 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.

Palo Alto, California ranks 209th of the 587 cities covered in this category, holding 0% of the listings, ahead of 378 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.

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 22 years, and the longest is 36 years: Magnussen Toyota/scion Of Palo Alt, first licensed in June 1990.
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.
