Emissions and Smog Testing
At De Anza Auto Repair, we help our Sunnyvale customers' cars run as cleanly and efficiently as they possibly can. We provide a range of emissions testing services to ensure that your car is running and driving its best, as well as complying with all local smog regulations. Should a problem arise with any of your vehicle's emission systems, we provide the parts and expertise to get you back on the road. De Anza Auto Repair can replace mufflers/catalytic converters, refill diesel exhaust fluid, and make sure the full range of filters in your vehicle's exhaust system are working perfectly.
Regulators understand that older cars simply can't meet modern emissions standards without extensive modifications. For newer cars however, passing a smog test is a requirement of road legality. Call us at 408-245-3732 to learn more about the emissions requirements for your vehicle.
Emissions testing (also known as smog testing) is a vital part of the maintenance of your vehicle. E-tests provide your mechanic with important information about your car's engine and exhaust system. If important components, like your car's catalytic converter aren't working properly, the car isn't running as it was intended to by the manufacturer. Inefficiency costs you extra money in fuel and does unnecessary harm to the planet. Emissions testing can also affect the value of a vehicle you're trying to sell; while you can still sell a car without a valid e-test certification, you'll get more money for one that has passed the test.
There are several reasons that a car may fail its emissions test. There may be a problem with the vehicle's fuel system adding too much fuel to the air-fuel ratio required for proper combustion within the cylinders of the car's engine. This is known as "running rich" and results in the smell of gasoline from fuel passing through the engine and exhaust system without being fully burnt. Causes of this issue range from faulty fuel injectors to issues with the engine's control computer. There may also be problems with oxygen sensors or the vehicle's ignition system. At De Anza Auto Repair, we use a complete set of diagnostic equipment to determine the problem and fix it quickly, explaining every step of the process to you, our valued patron. Call us at 408-245-3732 or send us an email to arrange a health check for your car's emissions system today!

Went here to fix my Turo car. April had been very helpful through and through! She helped with the insurance process and has made it seem less for me. Would recommend and come back again!
April was very helpful to my daughter and her Porsche, Boxster. So, when my Prius had problems, I knew who to turn to. It turned out to be a serious problem (head gasket) and both April and Mo's brother John were sensitive to the many issues a retired older person on a fixed income has. They still provided excellent service, treated me with respect and worked with me to find a mix of what I could afford, without compromising the necessary repairs. I felt like I had gained family by the time I got my car back. So, when our Lexus had problems and left me stranded in Auburn, California, I knew who to call -- April worked with me to get the engine codes, run them through her mechanics, determine where I could go locally to find out if it was safe to drive it home and April kept checking up on me -- her last call was well after their closing hours when I had been cleared and was driving it back to their shop. I feel like they really care about people they are not just fixing cars. I am a customer here for life.
I recently had my car serviced at De Anza Auto Repair and I was extremely impressed with their honesty and fair pricing. The customer service was phenomenal, with the staff being friendly and knowledgeable. They explained everything to me in detail and even gave me some tips on how to better maintain my car. Overall, I highly recommend De Anza Auto Repair for their exceptional service and great prices.
