What running a smog shop looks like
without the right software.

📋
Paper work orders that disappear
Handwritten tickets get lost, soaked in grease, or jammed in a drawer. You can't look up a customer from three months ago because it took 20 minutes to find their last ticket.
"I spent 45 minutes looking for a work order once. The customer was standing right there."
📉
No idea how the business is doing
You know you're busy, but you don't know your monthly revenue, your pass rate, or how many cars came back for retests. You're running the business on gut feel instead of numbers.
"I had to wait until my accountant called me to know if I was actually making money."
🔧
Generic software that doesn't fit
QuickBooks wasn't built for smog shops. Neither was Square. You're either doing paper, or you're fighting software that doesn't understand smog kits, cert fees, or ARD numbers.
"Everything I tried was made for a mechanic shop, not a TEST ONLY shop."
Features

Everything your smog shop needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Every feature in SmogCheck Manager was designed for the California TEST ONLY workflow — not bolted on from a generic tool.

🎫
Work Order Wizard
Create a new ticket in seconds. Search existing customers or add new, look up by license plate, and VIN auto-fill pulls year, make, model, and engine instantly.
🔎
VIN Lookup
Enter the VIN and the vehicle info fills in automatically — year, make, model, engine, and fuel type. No manual typing, no typos, no looking it up yourself.
🧾
Professional Invoices
Print compliant California invoices in one click — with your shop logo, ARD number, QR code, barcode, required legal compliance text, and a signature line. Auto-prints 2 copies.
📊
Dashboard & Metrics
Daily snapshot of cars smogged, revenue, pass/fail count, and certifications. Monthly deposit breakdown by cash, card, and check. Retest rate and new vs. returning customers.
👥
Customer & Vehicle Database
Full searchable history of every customer and vehicle you've ever serviced. Find anyone in seconds by name, license plate, phone number, or VIN.
💾
Automatic Daily Backups
Your data backs up automatically every day to any folder you choose — USB drive, external drive, or network folder. You never have to worry about losing your records.
Getting Started

Up and running in three steps.

No IT guy needed. No server to set up. Just download, activate, and start taking tickets.

1
Download the app
Download the installer directly from this page. Runs on any Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC — the one you already have in the shop.
→ ~45MB installer, no cloud required
2
Activate your license
Enter the license key you receive after purchase. One-time setup. Add your shop name, address, phone, and ARD number — this prints on every invoice.
→ Takes about 5 minutes
3
Start taking tickets
Create your first work order, configure your smog kit pricing, and you're running. Most shops are fully set up on day one.
→ No training required
Dashboard

Know exactly how your business is doing. Every day.

Stop guessing. The dashboard gives you the numbers that matter — revenue, car count, pass rate, and monthly deposits — updated in real time as you work.

FAQ

Common questions.

Yes — completely. SmogCheck Manager runs entirely offline on your Windows PC. You don't need Wi-Fi to create work orders, print invoices, look up customers, or view your dashboard. The only feature that requires internet is the optional SMS add-on.
SmogCheck Manager supports Windows 10 and Windows 11. It works on any modern Windows PC — the shop computer you already have is almost certainly compatible.
The app automatically backs up your entire database every day to a folder you choose. That can be a USB drive you plug in each day, an external hard drive, or a network folder. You're always in control of where your data lives — it stays on your hardware, not a cloud server.
No. Twilio is only required if you want the optional SMS & Reports add-on — daily revenue texts and customer review request messages. The core app (work orders, invoices, dashboard, customer database) works with no third-party accounts whatsoever.
Each license key activates one installation on one machine. If you need to run it on a second PC in the shop, contact us — multi-seat licensing is available. Note that because the app runs locally, data doesn't sync between machines automatically.

Stop running your shop
on paper and gut feel.

Download SmogCheck Manager free and see what your shop looks like when everything is in one place — work orders, invoices, customers, and the numbers that tell you how you're actually doing.
