    • “WELL KNOWN SMOG CHECK FACTS”

      Are you aware you can help your vehicle pass a Smog Check by performing proper and regular vehicle maintenance according to your owner’s manual, and not tampering with the emissions control equipment...these are keys to passing Smog Check. The Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) provides financial assistance to repair or retire a vehicle that fails a Smog Check. If your vehicle fails a Smog Check, to complete your registration, you will need to obtain the repairs necessary for it to pass its Smog Check retest. Before beginning repairs, find out if you are eligible for the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP). FYI...(CAP) The Consumer Assistance Program provides financial assistance to repair or retire a vehicle that fails a Smog Check. The Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) provides financial assistance to repair or retire a vehicle that fails a Smog Check. Repair Assistance — If your DMV renewal notice requires a Smog Check at a Test-Only or Gold Shield station, you may qualify for up to $500 in repair assistance once you pay the first $100 in repair costs. You may also qualify if your income is within certain levels, regardless of where you got your Smog Check. If you qualify based on income, a $20 co-pay is all that you need. Vehicle Retirement — If you feel your car is not worth repairing, the State may buy the car from you for $1,000 and have it scrapped at a local dismantler. To get a CAP application visit www.smogcheck.ca.gov or call (800)952-5210.

    • CAP OFFERS TWO WAYS TO QUALIFY

      CAP offers two options for consumers whose vehicles fail their biennial Smog Check:

      * Income Eligible * - Qualified consumers whose household incomes meet the income guidelines (derived from the federal poverty guidelines) can receive financial assistance toward emissions-related repairs. A co-payment is required and will be applied toward diagnosis and emission-related repairs. The CAP application includes an income eligibility table to help consumers determine if they meet the income requirements.

      * Directed Vehicle Eligible * - Certain vehicles are directed to Test-Only or Gold Shield stations for their initial smog tests. If your Department of Motor Vehicles registration notice requires a test at a Test-Only or Gold Shield station, and your vehicle fails, you may qualify for financial assistance toward emissions-related repairs at a Gold Shield repair station. Test-Only stations cannot perform repairs. A copayment is required and will be applied toward diagnosis and emissions-related repairs.
