California is going all electric, so smog shops will disappear.
You need to have a smog tech license to become a shop owner.
You have to be a mechanic to own a smog shop.
You need tons of money upfront to open a shop.
Smog shops are high-risk — if people stop driving or the economy slows, the business collapses.
Customers are hard to find.
You can’t make serious money with just one shop.
It’s too complicated to get started — licenses, equipment, inspections… too much.
It’s stressful dealing with government requirements.
California tried mandating zero-emissions for all new cars by 2035, but that’s under serious threat. Trump and Congress used the Congressional Review Act to revoke the waivers that allowed CA to enforce those rules.
You can own and operate a smog shop without ever touching a car. Licensed technicians handle the tests — you run the business.
Absolutely not. Most of our students aren’t mechanics. This is a hands-off business model if set up correctly.
With financing options, lease negotiation strategies, and partnerships, most students start with far less than they think.
People still own their cars regardless of how much they drive — and those cars still require smog checks on schedule. Even during COVID shutdowns, when driving dropped, smog shops stayed open and payments kept flowing.
You don’t chase customers — they’re mandated by law. Every driver in California eventually needs you.
Our students net profit anywhere from $5K to $12K a month per location.
With the right mentorship and our Data Finder tool, you know exactly what location to secure, how to pass inspections, and how to negotiate leases.
With proper systems and guidance, it’s smoother than running almost any other business.
