Stations report these prices to BAR themselves (BAR Executive Summary, September 2026).
Test-only or test-and-repair?
Pick a test-only station when you expect the car to pass or want an inspection from a shop with nothing to repair. Pick one of Los Angeles’s 88 test-and-repair stations when the check engine light has been on or the car failed before: it can fix the car and retest it in one visit. Only STAR test-and-repair stations do repairs paid through BAR’s Consumer Assistance Program. More in test-only vs test-and-repair stations.
Frequently asked questions
On average, yes. In BAR's September 2026 report, non-STAR test-only stations averaged $56.77 and non-STAR test-and-repair stations $75.26, before the $8.25 certificate. Each station sets its own price, so check the coupons on this page or call first.
No. A test-only station inspects and certifies but doesn't repair. If the car fails, you take it to a repair station (or a test-and-repair station) and bring it back for a retest. If you expect a fail, a test-and-repair station can do both under one roof.
Yes, if it is STAR certified. 121 of the 157 test-only stations in Los Angeles are STAR certified and can certify a car the DMV directed to a STAR station; the rest can't.
No. Since STAR started on January 1, 2013, the DMV directs cars to a STAR station, which can be test-only or test-and-repair. A notice that says "STAR station" is met by either kind; one with no STAR line can go to any licensed station.
