- PASS SMOG OR NO REGISTRATION-
The California Air Resource Board (CARB) has recently implemented the Clean Truck Check, that applies to all diesel trucks with a GVWR of over 14,000 pounds. Owners are required to register these trucks under CARB's new database. All trucks operating in California have to be certified as compliant by CARB. This will require paying fees and performing regular smog checks. The DMV will hold the registration of any truck that is non-compliant, and failure to comply will result in penalties and additional fees.
Western Truck Exchange is here to help. Our service department is certified to perform the smog checks on all commercial trucks. Give us a call to schedule your appointment at 323-750-1279. If you would like help in understanding the new regulation feel free to contact us.

What is the Clean Truck Check?
Clean Truck Check, the program combines periodic vehicle testing requirements with other emissions monitoring techniques and expanded enforcement strategies to identify vehicles in need of emissions related repairs and ensure any needed repairs are performed. When fully implemented, the program will provide significant reductions in smog-forming and carcinogenic toxic air pollution necessary to achieve federal air quality mandates and healthy air in California’s communities.
