The state of California is known for its iconic summers. Relaxing on the beachside while watching the seagulls and sparkling waves is a common pastime for locals here. And if you are closer to the NorCal mountains, you might take a weekend to hit the beaches at beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Our summer vacations don’t always require a long plane trip, since our state is a popular vacation spot.
Those working in the SMOG testing industry may dream of their time off while working in a busy, hot auto shop. That garage fan is helpful, but nothing like the feel of an ocean breeze. And won’t it be more satisfying after finishing up with testing and repairing cars to meet our state’s clean air standards? Our smog-testing techs and shop owners work very hard year-round. When summer arrives, they keep going and look forward to their time off, enjoying what California offers along our coastlines and in our mountains.
Unfortunately, the rewards they look forward to may be delayed while dealing with a Bureau of Automotive Repair license attorney. If a Smog testing professional is cited and are under investigation, any free time can be used up in a courtroom fighting the accusations. Not the way summer was supposed to go!
Speak to an attorney with a history of excellence to save your smog career
STAR-certified smog shops are focused on excellence. And their technicians are normally members of the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Several of our own attorneys are familiar with the organization as past members. Many of us were once in the smog-testing business, as technicians and shop owners. That includes our firm founder and lead attorney, William Fierreira esq. who is a former ASE certified technician himself. So we understand the amount of time and sacrifice you’ve put into being a top smog testing professional. An accusation by the Bureau of Auto Repair shouldn’t take that all away.
Now our profession is to defend smog shops against a Bureau of Automotive Repair license attorney. And our wider perspective makes a difference in the courtroom. We understand the clandestine tactics of a BAR undercover car. When a technician is inspecting under the hood on a hot summer afternoon, they are not seeing normal issues. And it hardly seems fair to create fake challenges designed to catch a tech doing something ‘wrong.’
We also represent smog techs and smog testing and repair shops on cases involving interim suspension orders, STAR citations, smog testing accusations, STAR invalidation cases, licensing issues, and smog testing criminal cases. No professional smog technician should sweat it out in court alone. We know how BAR attorneys turn up the heat on hard-working smog professionals, we can quickly bring the temperature down by just check out what services we provide.
If you are a smog professional dealing with an accusation from the Bureau of Automotive Repair, contact us. We will fight for you and turn the case around so you can leave court relieved and ready to celebrate by cooling off at the beach.
