  • Hernandez Smog Check is a California STAR Certified Smog Station, which means we meet higher performance standards set by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) — and we’re authorized to test all vehicles, including those specifically directed to a STAR station.

    What’s the Difference?

    • 🚫 Non-STAR Stations can only test some vehicles and cannot handle DMV-directed smog checks.

    • ✅ STAR Certified Stations like us can perform:

      • Regular smog checks

      • DMV Renewal smog tests

      • Gross polluter certifications

      • Title transfer inspections

      • Out-of-state vehicle smog checks

    Whether your car is new or old, gasoline, diesel, hybrid, or gross polluter, we’ve got you covered — no referrals, no bouncing around from shop to shop.

    So if your DMV paperwork says “Directed to a STAR station”, don’t worry — you’re in the right place.

  • We’re here to help! If you have any questions about your smog check, pricing, vehicle requirements, or anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out.
