Automotive Defense Specialists Announce New Post on STAR Suspension Program and Need for a Defense Lawyer

Santa Monica, California – June 27, 2023. Automotive Defense Specialists, a team of professional lawyers that handle disputes with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair is proud to announce a new post on so-called “STAR Suspension” notices.

The post shares key reasons for speaking to a professional attorney about a dispute over one’s SMOG license in California.

“The BAR’s job is to protect consumers, but sometimes they go overboard and end up destroying the livelihood of a small business owner. There is a fighting chance to turn things around if that business owner reaches out to a specialized defense attorney,” explained attorney William Ferreira of Automotive Defense Specialists. “When the Bureau of Auto Repair takes disciplinary action against a SMOG technician or shop, they may not be focused on solving a problem. Their approach may, instead, be focused on punishment.”

Auto repair shop owners and SMOG technicians can review the new post from Automotive Defense Specialists at https://automotivedefense.com/2023/05/03/star-suspension-notice-dont-be-afraid-you-may-benefit-from-an-attorney/. The post offers reasons for fighting a STAR suspension via a skilled auto defense attorney. The law firm supports California SMOG technicians, SMOG testing shops, and auto repair shops against all allegations from the Bureau of Automotive Repair.

Note that a July 1, 2022 decision (https://www.bar.ca.gov/star/updates) changed “suspension” terminology and eligibility requirements. It also includes confirmation of changes to SMOG performance measures and the STAR suspension program. The attorney’s team remains current on changes around Bureau of Auto Repair regulations and requirements.
