Free ConsultationLos Angeles, California – August 30, 2023. Automotive Defense Specialists, expert defense attorneys for California SMOG shops and technicians is proud to announce new content on so-called “Star Suspensions.” Yet losing a STAR certification could impact a hard-working SMOG shop or technician up to and including the loss of license.
In smoggy cities like Los Angeles, where the battle against air pollution is a daily struggle, SMOG stations and their hard-working technicians play a vital role in ensuring the well-being of residents and the environment.
Administrative agencies in California play a critical role in regulating various industries and activities. In California, the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) is responsible for regulating automotive repair shops and ensuring that they comply with the state’s emissions standards.
Dealing with an administrative agency can be a daunting task, particularly if you – as a SMOG tech or auto repair shop owner – are facing an administrative action that could have significant consequences for your career or business.
Are you familiar with your Miranda rights? “You have the right to remain silent.” “Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” “You have the right to an Attorney.” Yada yada yada
Here’s a not-so-fun fact. The California Bureau of Automotive Repair regularly sends out “undercover” SMOG cars. Although the goal is to catch shady smog testing and auto repair shops, the process can end up trapping honest, hard-working SMOG technicians too.
