You probably came here looking for one specific test. Whatever your DMV notice says — a STAR test, a change of ownership smog, a diesel or RV inspection — we handle it at our Livermore shop. Most drivers are in and out the same day, and walk-ins are welcome, so you do not have to wait days for an opening. If you are not sure which test your car needs, call us at (925) 443-7474 and we will read the notice with you.
