ea93105 Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 I finally got a smog check on a vehicle I'm trying to get Jalisco plates for and when I gave the certificate to Luis at Spencer's office he said that soon smog checks will be required twice per year ! Just passing on what he told me and if true it will be a major PIA considering the millions of vehicles all needing to get smog checks at very few locations. It took months to get my appointment. What is the official ticket amount for not having up to date smog again ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this right? There is no way I can drive into Guadalajara w/o having a nervous breakdown. So I need a driver. And what happens, as is typical in Mexico, if/when I get there, the usual SNSFU occurs? I have to come back to Chapala and start as Square One? Better to "donate" $200.00 to the cop stopping me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea93105 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Who knows, maybe some day they won't issue registration tags without the smog checks ( like in California ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Take a deep breath people. No fines until JULY 2022. Plenty of time for them to set up more testing stations. No reason to think they won't set one up somewhere in Lakeside within the next 6 months. Jeeez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smog checks are once yearly for private vehicles, twice annually for intensive-use commercial vehicles, which include taxis, Ubers, trucks and those types. https://noticias.autocosmos.com.mx/2021/08/04/ahora-todos-los-autos-en-jalisco-verifican-esto-es-todo-lo-que-debes-de-saber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, yes my van will require checks twice per year, which is 4 times more often than California would require, ridiculous imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil in mexico Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 We had our 2016 vehicle done a few weeks ago it is a pretty serious test much more than just a smog test. Our car passed but many , many will not. I can't see how the jalisco government can get up and running with so many vehicles in jalisco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrod Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Here are the parameters, maximum permissible limits. The source, below, also quotes the applicable laws. The verificación responsable site recommends that you take your vehicle for standard maintenance, including optimal tire pressure etc, prior to going for your inspection. I went a few months ago (Guadalajara) and the newly-constructed stations are spotless and the process (and bathrooms) impressive. There's a nice waiting area but, due to Covid protocols, only one person per vehicle is supposed to enter at a time, although nobody stopped us as we had scheduled an early am appt. We arrived about an hour early, and they willingly took us ahead of our appointment time. https://verificacionresponsable.jalisco.gob.mx/que-es-verificacion/ Here, at the bottom, you can find two tables that detail which 14 items are inspected visually (left table) and the emissions items checked (right table). I itemized the latter, below and, from the second source (autocosmos.com) listed the maximum permissible limits. https://noticias.autocosmos.com.mx/2021/08/04/ahora-todos-los-autos-en-jalisco-verifican-esto-es-todo-lo-que-debes-de-saber Año - modelo vehicular 1990 y anteriores 1991 y posteriores Hidrocarburos (HC hppm) Máx. 350 100 Monóxido de Carbono (CO % vol.)
