June 30, 2024 – Los Angeles, California. Automotive Defense Specialists, a team of best-in-class defense attorneys focused on auto repair technicians and shop owners is proud to announce a new post explaining the basics of the Bureau of Automotive Repair citation process. Smog testing technicians and auto repair shop owners might try to appeal a citation on their own. As the post explains, however, working with an attorney may increase the opportunity for a successful appeal.
“It’s a smog shop’s right to appeal a Bureau of Auto Repair citation, but they should think twice before trying to do it alone,” said lead attorney William Ferreira from Automotive Defense Specialists. He continued, “The BAR will have a skilled lawyer to defend their case. It’s important to get an attorney to have equal footing in court. We can balance the scales and support a smog tech or auto shop owner in court.”

BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR CITATION MAY SET SMOG SHOPS UP TO FAIL
Here is the background on this release. A letter from the Bureau of Auto Repair can be an unexpected problem. Diligent and compliant-focused smog testing technicians may need to see how the issue happened. Appealing without legal representation may not go how an auto shop owner expects. The accused may be innocent of charges but may not be able to properly defend against the evidence brought by the BAR. The best approach could be to contact a lawyer with the expertise to address a Bureau of Automotive Repair citation before an appeal is lost.
