Your DMV Notice Says STAR Required — We've Got You Covered
California's STAR Program identifies smog stations that meet higher performance and accuracy standards set by the Bureau of Automotive Repair. Not every station qualifies — STAR stations are specially monitored and must maintain strict compliance.
When the DMV sends your vehicle to a STAR station, it's because your vehicle's history or registration category requires enhanced oversight. Fast Lane Smog is a fully authorized STAR Certified station, meaning we can legally issue a smog certificate to vehicles directed by the DMV.
- STAR stations meet higher performance standards set by the BAR
- Only STAR stations can certify DMV-directed vehicles
- Results submitted electronically — no paper certificates needed
- Non-STAR stations cannot complete your DMV-required inspection
- Fast Lane Smog maintains continuous STAR certification
