Star Certification.
New Regulations from California DMV may now require you to get your Smog Certificate from a Star Certified Smog Shop. The DMV has mandated that a certain percentage of all vehicles must be smogged at a Star Certified Smog Shop. Here is the exact quote from the DMV Website:
STAR stations are Smog Check stations that meet higher performance standards established by the Bureau of Automotive Repair. Some STAR stations are licensed to perform only tests, while others are licensed to perform both tests and repairs. The station is required to post a sign on the services it performs.
State law requires that a percentage of vehicles have their Smog Check Inspections performed at a STAR station. If your DMV renewal notice states your vehicle requires a Smog Check at a STAR station, you must take your vehicle to a STAR station for an inspection.
