Have been notified by the state of California that you need to have your car's emissions tested at a TEST ONLY STATION?  If so, you should know that you CAN visit a Gold Shield station, which Patterson Auto Care is a licensed station.  A Gold Shield station can not only test your emission system, but we can repair your vehicle and if need be, sign you up for the consumer assistance program (CAP) which could pay you up to $500 toward the repair of the emission system on your vehicle.

The Gold Shield stations can also recertify "Gross Polluters" after repairs are properly made.  What this means is that you only need to visit one facility. By making a Gold Shield Station your first stop, you can save both time and money. Patterson Auto Care can test, repair or recertify all cars and gasoline trucks.

Stop by and find out why our customers come to Patterson Auto Care for all their tire, repair and smog test needs.
