Living the SMOG Technician Life in Southern California

Lee McDonald Comments Off

Being a SMOG technician in sunny SoCal (especially Los Angeles) can be rewarding, and at times frustrating. You conduct numerous California state smog inspections to ensure that they comply with emissions standards every day. You have your work cut out for you; smog in Los Angeles can be crazy, and the customers fussy and difficult. Everyone wants their SMOG done fast and to pass. L.A.’s population is more than 3.8 million, and it seems like everyone has a car. To make matters worse, you still need to complete a degree–4-5 years for an automotive technology or environmental science degree, plus some experience – to become and stay a SMOG tech. That is a big commitment.

Working at or owning an auto repair and SMOG shop in Southern California can very rewarding. The first reward is the paycheck. The second is to help keep people rolling along in their cars, and the third is to help automobile drivers and owners meet the strict environmental standards of the state. It’s a great job – as there is a lot of demand. In a bigger city like Riverside, whose population exceeds 330k or in a small town like Temecula, which has around 114k citizens there is never a shortage of cars to fix.
