About

Alpine Smog and Auto Repair on Lakeside's Woodside Avenue holds California Bureau of Automotive Repair license ARD #315179 as a STAR-certified Test & Repair station and official DMV Partner. The STAR designation requires ongoing BAR compliance auditing, the same post-repair emissions verification standard that collision facilities including Lakeside Collision Auto Center on Woodside Avenue depend on after structural work. Founded in 2016, the shop holds dual certification to both diagnose and repair smog failures on-site, eliminating the two-stop process that test-only stations require. Diesel-engine and motor-home smog testing covers Class A and Class C RVs alongside standard passenger vehicles, addressing the specialized testing demand from Lake Jennings Campground visitors and Rancho Los Coches RV Park residents. The full-service auto repair capability — brakes, fluid exchanges, and engine diagnostics — means a smog failure diagnosed on Woodside Avenue can be repaired and retested under one ARD license, complementing the windshield and side-glass work handled by Payless Auto Glass for customers prepping vehicles for resale. Gross-polluter vehicle testing utilizes the BAR-97 Emissions Inspection System with acceleration-simulation-mode load testing to measure tailpipe HC, CO, and NOx concentrations against CARB's enhanced cutpoint standards.
