If your vehicle recently failed its smog check, you’re not alone — and you may not have to cover the repair costs on your own.
For income-eligible California motorists, the State of California offers financial assistance to help get vehicles back into compliance. Through the California Bureau of Automotive Repair, qualifying drivers can receive up to $1,450 in emissions-related repairs through the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP).
What Is the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP)?
The Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) is designed to help income-eligible vehicle owners repair their vehicles after a failed smog inspection. If your car doesn’t pass its smog check, CAP may cover a significant portion — or even all — of the emissions-related repair costs needed to pass.
This program exists to:
- Help drivers afford necessary emissions repairs
- Improve California’s air quality
- Keep compliant vehicles safely on the road
Eligible motorists can receive up to $1,450 toward emissions-related repairs.
