Los Angteles, California – July 30, 2025. Automotive Defense Specialists, a California-based law firm that defends auto repair and SMOG shops against California’s powerful Bureau of Automotive Repair, is proud to announce new content for those in the anti-pollution industry.
“Established auto shop owners might be familiar with the letters the Bureau of Auto Repair sends out, but some SMOG technicians might not. They are too busy testing cars and fighting the fight against air pollution,” stated William Ferreira, lead attorney at Automotive Defense Specialists. “Our lawyers are here to help defend a SMOG technician and protect an auto shop owner’s valued employee.”
Auto repair shops, SMOG testing business owners and SMOG technicians can review the new content online. Automotive Defense Specialists is a professional legal team focused on defending SMOG and auto repair shops from the Bureau of Automotive Repair. A SMOG tech lawyer can provide the necessary support to fight an invalidation (suspension), STAR license revocation, and threats to a SMOG check tech license. A skilled SMOG technician must go through several steps before becoming employable. Licensed SMOG technicians are required to finish a minimum of 96 hours of training and complete 720 hours of coursework to receive a SMOG testing certification. Local auto repair shop owners might need support from a SMOG tech lawyer to protect a valued employee from the Bureau of Auto Repair.
Automotive Defense Specialists support the SMOG testing community in Southern California and Northern California. The legal team can help negotiate settlements with the powerful regulatory agency, without formal court proceedings. A SMOG tech lawyer can help lower BAR citation fines or eliminate specific accusations based on evidence. Results can vary for individual cases, and no guarantees can be made.
Smog shop owners and testing technicians can review the firm’s blog posts on defending against the Bureau of Automotive Repair.
THE BEST SMOG TECH LAWYER PROVIDES THE FUEL TO DEFEND AGAINST SMOG CHECK ACCUSATIONS
Here is the background on this release. The value of a trustworthy, hard-working SMOG technician may be difficult for a SMOG shop owner to assess. If a letter arrives from the Bureau of Automotive Repair, a technician may be confused about how to handle addressing the charges. Persons specialized in auto repair and SMOG testing may be “out of their league” when it comes to regulatory battles. Additionally, if a technician takes time away from work to handle a SMOG accusation alone, it could negatively impact the bottom line of an auto repair shop.
