More incentives for consumers to retire or repair aging vehicles

Income eligible consumers can now receive up to $2,000 to retire a vehicle or up to $1,450 for emissions repairs

Sacramento, Calif.—The Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) has increased the incentive amounts to retire or repair a vehicle through its Consumer Assistance Program.

Income eligible consumers can now receive up to $2,000 to retire a vehicle or up to $1,450 for emissions repairs. The program offers consumers financial assistance to repair or retire their vehicle if it fails a Smog Check inspection. Consumers can also retire their vehicle even if it passes a Smog Check. The program is part of California’s larger effort to help improve California’s air quality and assist consumers.

“The Bureau of Automotive Repair is committed to supporting consumers in reducing vehicle emissions and improving California’s air quality,” said BAR Chief Patrick Dorais. “These increased incentives help Californians keep their vehicles compliant with Smog Check requirements and give them options to retire an aging vehicle.”

Other changes include allowing consumers to receive repair assistance more than once for the same vehicle. The vehicle retirement incentive for consumers who do not meet income eligibility requirements also has increased to $1,350. Applicants must meet eligibility and vehicle requirements to participate.
