★★★★☆ 4.0 Andrew Liput · Feb 2026

1989 toyota camry. since the car was older, it cost $130. They had to use the dyno and other gadgets, so it takes longer too. About 45 min for the testing. But the gentleman was really nice and explained it well. just a little bummed about the price.

Such a great & easy SMOG experience! The technician was super friendly & it's easy located at Shell gas station with taco truck next door so you can get a snack & drink & wait at the provided tables & chairs.

I’m grateful for the kind attendants and the quick service. However, after getting my car smogged with them in May the attendant assured me that as a “STAR smog station” my smog results would be sent electronically to the DMV, and I would “not have to go back to the DMV in person”. Well the DMV did not receive the smog results from this station, and my registration remained in an “incomplete status” until my car was impounded. I had to pay a $900 impound fee AND get my car resmogged. Do not trust the STAR smog stations online system, or the DMV online systems. Take your smog check back to the DMV in person and avoid losing over 1K.

I got seen to immediately and the check took a half hour. The price was fairly low and the staff were very nice and helpful

Came in at 1pm on a Thursday without an appointment, the man that helped me was very nice and efficient. I showed him a coupon that I found on their website and the smog was $39.95 plus $8.25 certificate and $1.75 shop fee, totaling to $49.95 CASH ONLY. Must show the coupon prior to doing the smog. I was asked to come back in 30 min, came back in 25 min and my car was done.
