Smog Check for Riverbank Drivers via Highway 108 and Claus
From Riverbank, Highway 108 and Claus Road bring you down into north Modesto, then across to McHenry Avenue and the shop.
Riverbank is close enough to Modesto that the drive in is part of most people's week already. When the DMV notice says a smog certification is due, it makes sense to pick a station where a failure is not a dead end.
CAR PRETTY is a STAR-certified Test & Repair station. Test, diagnosis, repair and retest all happen at 4207 McHenry Ave.
Farm roads and older equipment-hauling vehicles
The orchard and farm roads around Riverbank are hard on vehicles that use them daily. Trucks that tow, haul or idle on rough roads tend to rack up wear on the parts an inspection checks, from vacuum lines to sensors, and a small fault can show up as a check engine light right before renewal.
If the car fails, the repair department on the same lot can trace that fault rather than sending you back up Highway 108 with a report in hand.
Before you drive in
Check that the check engine light is off. If the battery has been replaced or disconnected recently, mention it when you call, because it can reset the self-checks the car needs completed before it can be tested.
If the renewal notice asks for a specific type of station, the shop is listed as a STAR-certified Test & Repair station.
Smog and a clean-up in one stop
Riverbank drivers deal with a lot of road dust during harvest. Since the car is here for the smog, the detailing department can take care of the dust and film in the same visit. Call (209) 526-8688 to plan both.
All smog inspections, repairs and retests happen at our one shop: CAR PRETTY, 4207 McHenry Ave, Modesto, CA 95356. We serve drivers from Riverbank; we do not have a branch there.
