Why Santa Monica Drivers Choose Village 76

You need a smog check. You don’t need surprises.

At Village 76, we built our reputation on one principle: get you in, get your certificate, and get you back on the road — without the runaround. Located at 15400 Sunset Blvd., Pacific Palisades, CA 90272, we’ve served drivers across Santa Monica, Brentwood, Malibu, and the greater Westside for years.

As a STAR Certified Smog Station, we’re authorized by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) to test every vehicle — including those flagged by the DMV for a STAR station inspection. Our licensed technicians use state-of-the-art emissions testing equipment. Every test is performed accurately, every time.

When you pass, we electronically transfer your certificate directly to the DMV — at no extra charge. You can skip the DMV line entirely and renew your registration the same day.
