You can help clean up our air by repairing or retiring your polluting vehicle. If
your car fails its Smog Check, California has a program that may be able to
help. The California Bureau of Automotive Repair's Consumer Assistance
Program (CAP) can help pay for repairs or it may pay you to retire your
polluting vehicle.
If your car fails the Smog Check, get $1,000 to turn it in, or up to
$500 to fix it!
The Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) offers two options to help
California consumers whose vehicles fail their biennial (every other year)
Smog Check. If you intend to apply to the Consumer Assistance Program, do
not have any repairs performed on your vehicle. CAP programs are limited to
available funds
Repair Assistance
Qualified motorists can receive up to $500 in emissions-related repairs
through CAP's Repair Assistance Program. Eligible consumers must take
their vehicles to Gold Shield repair stations which are authorized to perform
repair assistance services.
Vehicle Retirement
The Vehicle Retirement Program is available to motorists who want to
voluntarily retire their vehicle rather than repair it. Eligible consumers can
receive $1,000 in exchange for their vehicle. Approved vehicles must be
driven to one of the state's authorized dismantlers where they are crushed.
You must first submit a CAP application and have it approved, making you
and your car eligible for the program. You will then receive a list of
participating stations or dismantlers where you can take your car to have it
repaired or retired.
