Hybrid Vehicle Smog Checks in Redding
Hybrids are designed to meet the highest emission standards and to provide improved fuel economy over conventional vehicles. However, hybrid emission control systems do still experience the same causes of long-term deterioration that impact other vehicles. A malfunction on your hybrid’s emission control system can cause emissions to increase sharply.
Due to the possibility of failure, even hybrid vehicles in California have been required to have a smog check since 2015. By identifying any emission-related problems your vehicle is experiencing, and having the problem repaired quickly, we can help keep emission levels low throughout the life of your hybrid.
Smog Checks Required
for Hybrids
Hybrid emission control systems experience the same long-term deterioration that affects other vehicles and as a result are required to have a Smog Check in accordance with CA regulations.
Smog Check Procedures
for Hybrids
Hybrid Smog Checks are similar to 2000 and newer gas-powered vehicles, including a visual inspection of emission control components, a scan of the OBD system, and a visible smoke test.
Identifying Emission-Related Problems
Hybrid emission control system faults can cause emissions to increase, but by ensuring emission-related problems are identified and repaired, levels can be kept low over the life of your vehicle.

Hybrid Vehicle Repairs and Maintenance
Hybrids are generally more reliable than gas vehicles but that doesn’t mean they won’t have issues or need maintenance. The Hybrid-specific components in every Hybrid vehicle on the market are covered under warranty for eight years / 100,000 miles or 10 years / 150,000 miles in California, but these components tend to last longer in real-world conditions.
The gasoline engine in a Hybrid vehicle requires the same maintenance that it would if it were the only power source driving the vehicle. That means regular tune-ups and oil changes every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, depending on the vehicle and the driving conditions.

Hybrid FAQ
-
Just like gas vehicles, hybrids require regular maintenance every 5,000 to 10,000 miles depending on driving conditions. Regular inspections, oil changes, and battery checks help prevent costly repairs and keep your hybrid running efficiently.

Not necessarily. While hybrid systems are more advanced, our ASE-certified technicians are trained to service them efficiently. In many cases, battery conditioning and maintenance cost far less than full replacements or dealer pricing.
