## Minutes from home

Longley Lane sits near the south end of the airport and just off I-580. From Hidden Valley, the streets off Mill Street or the blocks along Kietzke Lane, the drive is about 8 minutes in light traffic by OpenStreetMap routing. That makes the yearly test an errand you can fit into a lunch break or the start of a Saturday.

Reno Northwest on Mae Anne Avenue is about 18 minutes, north on I-580 and west on I-80. It is the better pick only if you are already headed to the northwest side.

## The biggest household count on the list

ACS 2020-2024 estimates put 46,691 people in 19,348 households in the 89502 ZIP code area. Vehicles per household come to 1.61, and 49.9 percent of homes have two or more, both under the Washoe County figures. The mean commute is 18.6 minutes, one of the shortest in the county, and 60.9 percent of workers drive alone. The median age is 34.6.

Short commutes are good for a smog check in one way: the car gets regular city driving. They can hide one problem, though. After a battery replacement, the computer needs a mix of city and highway driving to finish its self-checks, and the DMV says to allow up to a week before testing.

## Pass, then renew the same day

When the test passes, the result goes to the DMV electronically. The DMV says you can renew right away at an emission station that offers renewal, online at MyDMV or at a DMV Now kiosk minutes after the test. At a station that renews, the record updates instantly, the decal and certificate come by mail, and you get separate receipts for the smog check and the renewal.

Bring the renewal notice, and have the odometer reading ready. The [renewing at the station](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/renewing-at-the-station/) questions page has the details.

- Reno South hours: Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm, Saturday 8 am to 3 pm, closed Sunday. Phone (775) 828-6996.
- Unplug any insurance tracker from the OBD port before you arrive.
