At Steven’s Bay Area Diesel Service, we understand the importance of staying ahead of regulatory changes to better serve our customers and promote a cleaner, healthier environment. There are two crucial programs shaping the landscape of heavy-duty vehicle maintenance in California: the Heavy-Duty Inspection and Maintenance (HD I/M) Regulation and the Clean Truck Check Program.
California’s Heavy-Duty Inspection and Maintenance (HD I/M) Regulation
California’s commitment to environmental sustainability is evident in its stringent regulations governing heavy-duty vehicles. The HD I/M Regulation, implemented by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), sets forth comprehensive guidelines for the inspection and maintenance of heavy-duty diesel vehicles operating within the state.
Under this regulation, businesses like ours play a pivotal role in ensuring compliance by providing regular inspections, emission tests, and maintenance services for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. By adhering to these standards, we not only help our customers avoid penalties but also contribute to reducing harmful emissions and improving air quality statewide.
Clean Truck Check Program
A significant component of California’s efforts to curb pollution from heavy-duty vehicles is the Clean Truck Check Program. This program, administered by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in collaboration with CARB, focuses on verifying compliance with emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks and buses.
Through the Clean Truck Check Program, heavy-duty vehicle owners and operators are required to undergo regular inspections to ensure their vehicles meet stringent emission standards. These inspections help identify and address issues that could contribute to excessive emissions, promoting cleaner and more efficient operation of heavy-duty vehicles on California’s roads.
Heavy-Duty Vehicle Inspection Program (HDVIP)
Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP)
At Steven’s Bay Area Diesel Service, we want to assure our customers that we remain fully committed to compliance with all regulatory requirements concerning heavy-duty vehicle inspections with our Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicle Enforcement Service.

Our comprehensive Diesel Emission Testing Service ensures your vehicle meets emission standards while improving fuel efficiency.
