What Is a STAR Station?
California's STAR program designates certain smog check stations, like Star Smog, as certified to test vehicles in higher-emission areas or those flagged with specific DMV requirements. STAR stations must meet stricter equipment, technician training, and testing-accuracy standards than a standard smog check facility. When your DMV renewal notice requires a STAR station, Star Smog is licensed to perform that test.
