Regular smog checks are required for most vehicles and involve measuring the amount and type of pollutants a vehicle emits to ensure it meets emission standards. Star smog checks, on the other hand, are more comprehensive tests required for vehicles that have been identified as high polluters or are older models. These tests are conducted at Star Certified stations and involve a visual, functional, and tailpipe inspection. In addition to these, some smog test shops may also offer diesel smog checks for diesel vehicles and gross polluter certification for vehicles that produce high levels of emissions.
