STATE OF CALIFORNIA Department Of Consumer Affairs - Smog Emissions SMOG EMISSION - FRAUD DECEPTION MISREPRESENTATION FAILURE TO DISCLOSE California

Consumers beware - unethical auto repair shops scamming consumers & will charge you full rate $50-$70 even if it takes them 1 minute!!!

Contact your CALIFORNIA STATE SENATOR - let's change the law & demand FULL DISCLOSURE prior to smog tests!

Many unethical, unscrupulous auto repair shops will automatically fail the car for a smog test AND still charge the consumer FULL rate of $50-$70 for the smog check, if a faulty "check engine" light is on (and there is no engine problem - just a faulty light).

Some honest shops post a signs warning consumers informing them about a "check engine" light - these shops deserve a "kudos" for their honesty, but please avoid shops that do NOT post a warning sign.

CONSUMERS - please be sure to fix the light/check engine issue PRIOR to SMOG TEST - otherwise, unscrupulous auto shops will take your hard-earned $50-$70 for 1-2 minutes of "work"!

Contact your CALIFORNIA STATE SENATOR http://www.senate.ca. Gov/~newsen/senators/senators. Htp

Let's change the law & demand FULL DISCLOSURE prior to smog tests! California REQUIRES smog tests & consumers must DEMAND full disclosure! Stop allowing unethical auto repair shops to steal your hard-earned money!

Don't be scammed! Contact your State Senator! Good luck!
