Frequently asked questions

How much does a smog check cost in California?

Each station sets its own test price, so call ahead. California also charges an $8.25 smog certificate fee for every vehicle that passes; ask whether the quoted price includes it.

Do I need a STAR station?

Your DMV renewal notice tells you. If it says "Smog Certification Required at STAR Station", only a STAR-certified station can certify the car. Otherwise any licensed smog check station can test it.

How long is a smog certificate valid?

A passing smog certificate is valid for 90 days.

Which vehicles are exempt?

Gasoline vehicles 8 model years old or newer pay a smog abatement fee instead of testing. Electric vehicles, motorcycles and gasoline vehicles from 1975 or earlier are exempt.

How many smog check stations are in Modesto?

How are shops ordered?

Shops with an active state license and complete, verified contact details (phone, website, matching address in several sources) are listed first. The order never reflects payment, and no shop is marked down.
