Our StoryEST. 2005

BUILT ON
TRUST.

Two decades of honest, test-only smog inspections in Rancho Cordova. No upsells, no surprises — just the answer you came for, filed with the DMV before you leave.

The Sunrise Standard

Four pillars,
one promise.

Since 2005, Sunrise Smog has stayed family-owned and test-only. We never fix what we inspect, which is why our word on a pass-or-fail actually means something.

STAR Certification

Official California certification for DMV-directed inspections and complex emissions testing — only ~15% of stations qualify.

Extended Hours

Open until 8:30 PM weekdays so working families and commuters can come in after hours without rearranging a day.

Test-Only Facility

We don't sell repairs. Every result is unbiased — if we pass it, it passed because it actually passed.

Instant DMV Filing

Results transmit electronically the moment your vehicle clears — no DMV trip, no waiting room, no paperwork.

By The Numbers

Two decades, measured.
