Learn More →Your DMV Notice Says STAR Required — We've Got You Covered
California's STAR Program identifies smog stations that meet higher performance and accuracy standards set by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). Not every smog station qualifies — STAR stations are specially monitored and must maintain strict compliance.
When the DMV sends your vehicle to a STAR station, it's because your vehicle's history or registration category requires enhanced oversight. KWIC Smog Center is a fully authorized STAR Certified station, meaning we can legally issue a smog certificate to vehicles directed by the DMV — something non-STAR stations cannot do.
