A smog check inspection is performed by a station that has been licensed by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). Depending on the situation, the owner may be required to take the vehicle to one of the following types of smog check stations:
Until a smog certificate can be provided registration will not be renewed. If the vehicle fails the smog check, the owner will be required to complete all necessary repairs and pass a smog check retest in order to complete the registration. If the costs of repairing the vehicle outweigh its value, the state may buy it and have it scrapped. The buyback program is part of California's Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) that also offers consumer assistance for repairs related to smog check. The program is administered by the Bureau of Automotive Repair.

I'm glad that STAR stations have superior knowledge in smog and the tests. That means they'll be a lot better at helping you out. My car needs to be tested soon, so I'll be sure to find a STAR station.

My sister wants to buy a used car next month, but she's worried about its smog production, so she's interested in learning more about testing services. It's good to know how they're various types of smog test stations and how each requires different permits, so I'll make sure my sister reads this immediately. Thanks for the information on smog test services and what type of certification they should have.

Lake Smog Test only in Pasadena has been awarded the Star certification and is considered one of California's top smog test only stations. Lake Smog Test does not perform any repairs, I truly appreciate your great post!
