Bureau of Automotive Repair Letter: Don’t Gamble with Accusations

We have a confession to make, we love a good James Bond film. No matter what situation Agent 007 is gets in, he manages to use his various talents to get out. Casino Royal is a great example of Bond seeming to lose it all, yet come back from sure disaster. In the film, Bond plays a high-stakes game of Texas hold ‘em with the villain, Le Chiffre.

Don’t Gamble with a Bureau of Automotive Repair Letter!

If you’re an auto repair shop owner and you’ve received a Bureau of Automotive Repair letter of accusation, now is not the time to gamble.

Well, unlike the savvy Mr. Bond, you only get one chance in court. If you lose, that could mean losing your business as well as your STAR certification. Anytime a SMOG shop owner receives a Bureau of Automotive Repair letter, it can feel like a high stakes game. Maybe the claim doesn’t fit with what your auto technicians have told you. Maybe you’ve had stellar STAR scores throughout the years and believe it could turn the odds in your favor. We understand, you feel lucky.
