The name on
the sign is AA.
AA Smog Test Only. A Star Certified test-only station on Red Hill Ave in Tustin. Drive in, get tested, get your certificate. That is the whole visit.
The visit
Three steps. One certificate.
A test-only station does one job: the test. No repair counter, no pitch for work you did not ask for. Here is exactly how your visit goes.
Drive in
Pull into 14501-A Red Hill Ave in Tustin. No appointment needed. Most visits are done while you wait.
We test
Your car goes on the rollers for the full state smog inspection: tailpipe, visual, and functional checks.
DMV gets it
Pass, and your certificate of compliance goes to the DMV electronically. Registration renewal, handled.
Why STAR matters
If your renewal says STAR station, this is the place.
When the DMV directs your car to a STAR station, only a STAR Certified shop can issue your certificate of compliance. AA Smog is monitored to the Bureau of Automotive Repair's highest standards, which is exactly why STAR-directed cars end up here.

Straight answers
Asked often.
Do I really need a smog check?
It depends on your car, its model year, and where it is registered. Your DMV renewal notice will say whether a smog check is required to re-register. Most areas require one every two years, when a car is sold, and when it is first registered in California.
What is a STAR smog check?
If your DMV renewal paper says smog certification is required at a STAR station, your car was directed to one. A STAR station meets the Bureau of Automotive Repair's highest standards and can issue your certificate of compliance. AA Smog is Star Certified.
How long does the test take?
Plan on a short visit. The inspection itself runs about twenty minutes, and most drivers are in and out while they wait.
What if my car fails?
We will explain why it failed and what to do next. The car will need repairs and a retest before registration can complete. California's Consumer Assistance Program may offer up to $500 in repair help for eligible motorists who failed at a test-only station.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Drive in during business hours and we will take care of you.
