A citation isn’t anything more than an allegation by the government. It might be true. It might be false. It might be – who the heck knows?
It’s a tough old life being an auto repair shop in California. Difficult customers. Expenses such as rent and labor. Regulations. Yes, lots and lots of regulations!
Running a SMOG shop or STAR station can be a hard-enough business on itsโ own, but it can be even tougher when you have to deal with the Bureau of Automotive Repair.
We all know that SMOG in California is a big problem and is something that needs to be tackled. We want our air clean and free from impurities that can cause disease.
Receiving a citation is never fun. Even if it is a speeding citation from Californiaโs Highway Patrol it can make you nervous. Sure, thereโs the fine. Then thereโs the ding to your license, and your insurance will go up. But at least you can keep driving.
