Maximum I Must Spend To Pass The Smog Check

I have a car that failed the smog check. What is the dollar limit I must spend to make repairs so the vehicle passes the inspection? And what if I can not afford it? Thank you.

Answer:

Unfortunately there is no limit on bringing a car to passing emissions. However, California can help you repair your vehicle. You may receive up to $500.00 dollars in FREE smog diagnosis and repairs through the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP). The CAP Repair Assistance program is designed to help consumers bring their vehicles into compliance with California emission standards. Through the CAP program the State will pay the CAP repair shop you choose up to $500.00 dollars for repair work performed on your vehicle. CAP Repair Assistance Program posted by SmogTips Support
