Of the 186 entries here whose register publishes license dates, 186 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.

The license classes represented here are Smog Station - Test & Repair (122), Smog Station - Test Only (59), Smog Station - Repair Only (3), Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection Station (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.

5 of the 186 entries 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 5 of those are 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.

San Diego, California ranks 2nd of the 587 cities covered in this category, holding 3% of the listings, ahead of 585 others.

For a wider choice, the largest cities in this category are Los Angeles (247), 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.
