DMV Registration Hold? How Mobile CARB Testing Clears Your Truck to Drive Fast

Are you trying to renew your heavy-duty vehicle's DMV registration only to be hit with a CARB Clean Truck Check (CTC) compliance hold? You're not alone. This hold means your vehicle hasn't met the required emissions testing deadline, and every day your truck sits idle, you lose revenue.

The Problem: Waiting Kills Your Income

Traditional testing centers often have weeks-long wait times. If you have an urgent DMV hold, you cannot afford to wait. Furthermore, driving a non-compliant truck to a remote testing station takes time, burns fuel, and adds unnecessary downtime.

The Mobile Solution: Instant Compliance Uploads

That’s where mobile CARB testing becomes essential. Here is our three-step process to clear your hold quickly:

  1. Fast Appointment: We schedule your on-site test, often within 24-48 hours.

  2. On-Site Testing: Our certified technician comes to your location—no need to drive.

  3. Real-Time Upload: If your truck passes the OBD Test (2013+ engine), we upload the certification to the official CARB database immediately. The compliance status is updated almost instantly, allowing the DMV hold to lift as soon as the system processes the change.

Stop losing revenue. If you have a DMV hold, choose the fastest path to compliance with mobile, on-site testing.
