One issue to contend with for the new Star smog stations is that the prices will likely be higher than a standard smog check station since a lot more capital investment will be required to open one.

That means more cost to owners of older vehicles...

All that said, I'm unsure what the selection criteria is to be sent to one... If its only rigs that were close to failing previously then I can understand if they had to go to a star station for their next smog check, but a blanket policy for all simply based on vehicle age would be stupid but it wouldn't surprise me if that were the case... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
