Clean Truck Check Cost Calculator
Clean Truck Check cost adds three bills: listed tester fees near your ZIP (from–to), CARB’s $32.13 ± annual fee, and optional CARB Test Finder filing at $76 first vehicle and $69 each extra. CARB’s fee is included in filing totals — not extra. This unofficial calculator is independent — not CARB.gov — and does not issue the official certificate.

How to estimate
How to estimate Clean Truck Check cost
Enter a ZIP and vehicle count. Then pick: have us file (CARB’s fee already included), or pay CARB yourself in CTC-VIS — never both.
Enter a ZIP
We look up listed tester inspection prices that cover that ZIP and show a from–to range.
Count the vehicles
CARB’s fee is per vehicle. Filing is $76.00 for the first unit and $69.00 for each extra.
Read shop vs filing vs CARB
Pay the shop for the test. Have us file at $76.00 / $69.00 with CARB’s $32.13 already included. Pay CARB yourself only if you use the portal.
Have us file — or use the portal
Filing with us means you pay us after you pass, not a separate CARB checkout. DIY still pays CARB in CTC-VIS. Don’t add both.
Book a tester, then hand us filing
Compare shops for that ZIP. After a passing test, have us file so you skip the state portal.

Listed tester prices near your ZIP, shown as a from–to range. Rates vary by vehicle and OBD vs opacity. This is not a quote, and we do not set those fees.
Only if you file yourself
CARB portal fee $32.13 ±
CARB’s 2026 published Clean Truck Check compliance fee is $32.13 per vehicle. If we file for you, skip this line — it’s already inside $76.00. Plus/minus because CARB can change the official rate.
Skip the portal
We file it · $76.00 / $69.00
Pay CARB Test Finder $76.00 for the first vehicle and $69.00 for each extra. CARB’s $32.13 is already inside that number — you don’t pay the state on top. Tester inspection stays extra.

How listed tester fees, CARB’s annual fee, and filing support add up. This calculator is unofficial — not CARB.gov.
Most fleets budget a tester inspection (set by the shop), CARB’s annual compliance fee, and optional CTC-VIS filing support. The inspection is never included in CARB Test Finder filing totals.
