How should I prepare my car for a smog check?

The best way to prepare is to make sure your car is running well and warmed up, since a cold engine or a recently reset computer can cause a fail even on a healthy vehicle. Driving for a couple of weeks after any battery disconnect or repair lets your car's systems fully reset, and addressing any warning lights beforehand helps too. Bring your vehicle to City Side Auto in Leesport and we'll make sure it's ready before we run the check.

What's the difference between a smog check and a safety inspection?

They test two different things, a smog check measures the pollutants your car emits, while a safety inspection looks at whether components like brakes, lights, and tires are safe to operate. Some states require one, some require both, and they're often confused because they can happen at the same visit. The expert team at City Side Auto can explain which your vehicle needs and take care of it in one stop.

Will my car pass a smog check if it's older or high-mileage?

It can, age and mileage alone don't cause a failure as long as the vehicle is well maintained and its emissions systems are working properly. Older cars are simply more likely to have worn sensors or aging components that push emissions out of range. Call City Side Auto at (610) 916-8022 and we'll check your vehicle's condition so you head into your smog check with confidence.

BEFORE YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP, CHECK THESE 5 THINGS

May 4, 2026

What to check on your vehicle before longer drives, road trips, and warmer weather. As the weather warms up, we start seeing more road trips, longer drives, and weekend getaways. With more time on the road, it’s important to make sure your vehicle is ready for the extra miles. A quick check now can help prevent unexpected issues and keep your trip running smoothly. Before heading out, here are five key areas to take a look at: Tires Brakes Fluids Battery A/C system Your tires play a major role in safety and handling. Check for proper air pressure and look for uneven or excessive wear, which can affect how your vehicle drives and stops. Your brakes should always feel consistent and responsive. If you’ve noticed any squeaking, grinding, or changes in stopping, it’s a good idea to have them checked before a longer trip. Fluids such as engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid help keep your vehicle running properly. Low or dirty fluids can lead to overheating or performance issues. Your battery can be affected by both cold and hot weather. If your vehicle has been slow to start or the battery is a few years old, it may be time to have it tested. And finally, your A/C system. Warmer weather means you’ll rely on it more, and it’s best to make sure it’s working properly before you’re on the road. To help our customers get ready for more driving this season, we offer a vehicle check designed to catch potential issues before they become bigger problems. Tire inspection and pressure check Brake system check Fluid level and condition check Battery test A/C performance check Taking a little time to check these areas can make a big difference in how your vehicle performs, especially during longer trips.

We’re always happy to take a look, explain what we find, and help you decide the best next step. Call City Side Auto to schedule your pre-trip vehicle check.
