Frequently asked questions
Examined certified stations are licensed by the state to perform only tests on vehicles. They cannot offer any repair services and Gross Polluters can also be certified at these test Only Stations.
The DMV renewal notice will let you know if a Smog Check is required to register your car, and when it needs one. In California most vehicles need their smog checked every two years regardless of where they live or what type of insurance policy applies (in order for them not be uninsured).
Smog checks are required for all vehicles that want to be registered in California. The type of smogs you need depends on your car’s model year and whether or not it was originally licensed out-of state before coming into this state, as well some other factors too!
If you receive a notice that says “SMOG Certification Required at STAR Station”, then this is the right place. Premier Star Smog has been chosen by DMV to be an inspecting station and must meet high standards set forth in Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) guidelines for excellence!
Modesto based smog stations are able to issue a certificate of compliance when you renew your vehicle registration. A non-STAR station may also test and provide certificates for vehicles that have been directed by the DMV, but aren’t approved through their “STAR” program requirements (such as an emissions inspection).
The cost of a smog check has dropped dramatically in recent years, with many test-only stations now charging less than competitors. This is because they cannot make any money off auto repairs and so their expenses benefits all customers equally rather than just those who come through the door asking for it!
Smog checks are important because they help to ensure that your vehicle is legal and operating properly. The first thing you should do before taking the car in for its annual smogged check-up will be giving it a good 15 minutes of driving around town, which helps keep all those emissions components warm so they’re less likely than not register as an issue during testing time!
We’ll help explain to you why your vehicle failed its Smog Check retest. We also encourage people who received a Chassis Automotive Repair Certificate from the California Bureau of Automotive Repair in order for their car or truck pass its final inspection before registration can be finalized with said agency by submitting an application form at any local department store where vehicles on display include those not yet registered as well. Check out the website for more information regarding procedures www.bar.ca.gov
To find out more about a vehicle’s past, refer to California Bureau of Automotive Repair website where you can enter license plate or (Vehicle Identification Number) VIN.
Up to $500 in financial assistance is available for cars that require Smog Check at Test-Only stations and failed the test, but now there’s a chance you could be eligible for up 1000 dollars! The Bureau of Automotive Repair Retirement Program offers this as an incentive because they know many people don’t want their high pollution vehicles anymore. If yours isn’t worth repairing then maybe buying it from them will work better than what we have planned.
The California Air Pollution Control Lottery offers two options for consumers whose vehicles fail their biennial Smog Check. The first option is for consumers whose vehicles fail their biennial Smog Check, and the second one includes having your car repaired at no cost. www.smogcheck.ca.gov
The California Air Resources Board (BAR) created the Gross Polluter category to identify and encourage heavy polluters of air that exceed standards. These are some bad vehicles who need immediate attention from auto mechanics.
To pass a smog check in California, your vehicle must meet the state’s emissions standards. This includes having a properly functioning emission control system, no check engine light on, and passing a visual and functional inspection of emission-related components.

In Modesto, CA, a smog check generally costs between $40 and $60, but prices may vary depending on the vehicle and the smog station.
