If Your Car Fails a Smog Test, Itโ€™s Not the Fault of the Smog Shop

Lee McDonald Comments Off

Car owners in California are required to “SMOG” their cars at least once every two years. In some situations, they have to go to a STAR station. Check your notice from the Bureau of Automotive Repair. Then, you can literally Google “SMOG” shop near you and book your car in for an appointment.

You May Need a Big Attorney if Your Auto Repair Business Hears From the BAR

Lee McDonald Comments Off

There are many small auto repair shops in California, and if you are either the owner of one or a technician, you may well find yourself on the wrong side of the law as far as the Bureau of Automotive Repair is concerned. There is always the danger of receiving a STAR invalidation, citation, or accusation, and if this should happen to you it can put you in big trouble.

At Automotive Defense Specialists we do not represent drivers! We do not represent auto repair customers! And we certainly do not represent the Bureau of Automotive Repair! We ** exclusively ** represent auto shops, SMOG shops, and SMOG technicians who are threatened with actions by the Bureau of Automotive Repair. We are thus Bureau of Automotive Repair defense lawyers.

At Automotive Defense Specialists you could be forgiven for thinking that we represent drivers who have received a ticket, but we do not represent drivers. We represent technicians and auto repair shops, and they are the only people we represent.
