my vehicle required to get a Smog Check? Your

motorcycles.) *1998-Present
Diesel vehicles 14,000lbs and under will be required to have a biennial smog
inspection starting January 1st, 2010 after the initial purchase of the
new vehicle. No six year exemption will apply. What
is a STAR Station? STAR
stations are Smog Check stations that meet higher performance standards
established by the Bureau of Automotive Repair. Some STAR stations
are licensed to perform only tests (Test Only station), while others are
licensed to perform both tests and repairs (Test and Repair station). The
station is required to post a sign on the services it performs.
