Does a STAR smog check cost more than regular?
Not automatically — BAR doesn't set a price difference between STAR and regular stations. Each shop posts its own price.
STAR and non-STAR stations both set their own posted prices — there's no state-mandated STAR markup
Some vehicles are required by your DMV renewal notice to test at a STAR station, regardless of price
