Does your notice require a STAR station?

Check your DMV renewal notice. If it directs you to a STAR station, choose a STAR-certified facility. STAR stations meet additional inspection performance standards. A test-and-repair station performs inspections and emissions-related repairs; a test-only station performs inspections.
