MOTOR VEHICLE TESTING

Accurate Emissions Testing

Star Smog Check in Greenbrae, California, offers economical and fast emissions testing for the prevention of air pollution and the improvement of your vehicle. Once our test is completed, we present you with a certificate stating whether your car passed or failed.

In case of a fail, you have to go to the State of California licensed repair station to have your car adjusted or repaired. The Consumer Assistance Program administered by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair provides consumers that meet certain eligibility requirements with up to $500 in financial assistance for emissions-related repairs (financial assistance is subject to the availability of funds).

Smog Test Equipment

Star Smog Check uses the newest and most up-to-date smog testing equipment, which is suitable for all vehicle types.
A dynamometer is used for vehicles older than model-year 2000. For newer vehicles, we use a computer that reads the vehicle's info and submits it to the state for analysis.

We conduct a visual inspection on all emissions control equipment to ensure:

  • The Equipment is Intact

  • The Model Numbers Match Up

  • There Are No Disconnected Hoses

  • There Are No Modifications

Smog Test Rates

Our emissions testing costs are $69.75 plus $8.25 for the certificate that goes directly to the State of California. STAR Smog Check is proud to apply this offer to most regular passenger cars newer than 2000.

We also will certify trucks, vans, SUVs and Diesel passenger cars for an additional $10.  For 1999 and older, RVs, heavy-duty vehicles, diesel trucks, and high-end vehicles, please call for prices. STAR Smog can serve your American Classic or your Rare Import.
