Find a STAR Certified Smog Check Station Near You!

Drivers in California have a responsibility to protecting the environment. StarSmogCenter is committed to helping drivers fulfill this responsibility through its Star-certified test-only facilities. StarSmogCenter performs vehicle smog tests that are required every two years.

StarSmogCenter facilities are family-owned and will provide an honest assessment of the situation with a three-part test consisting of a visual inspection, a functional examination and an emissions evaluation. Since it is not a repair shop, StarSmogCenter has no desire to see any vehicle fail a test. In the event of a failure, the vehicle's owner will be provided with a list of local repair shops. StarSmogCenter will not favor any particular repair facility in the advice it provides.

Possessing decades of collective experience, StarSmogCenter tests more than 40,000 vehicles across over 85 vehicle brands every year. It will test automobiles, trucks, sport utility vehicles, campers and mobile homes, and vehicles that are powered by either gasoline or diesel fuel. Department of Motor Vehicle registration services are also available at some of its locations.

Family Friendly Services

StarSmogCenter facilities are friendly to families, providing them with clean waiting rooms and restrooms. In addition to being experienced, technicians are bilingual and promise courteous service to all of their customers.

All our facilities are equipped with the latest DAD equipment; which cuts down the smog test time in half!
