A Message from Sherry Mehl, BAR Chief

Holding Government Accountable Through Transparency in Decision-MakingPublic participation and collaboration are keys to successEvery year, policymakers in every level of government make decisions that affect practically every aspect of our lives — from the water we drink

to the medical care we receive. The impact these decisions have on our pocketbooks and the quality of our lives is enormous.

In a democracy such as ours, our collective success depends, in part, on government providing the public with information about policy changes under consideration. By making this information accessible, the public can effectively contribute ideas and expertise to help ensure successful implementation of these policies.

With this in mind, the Bureau under my direction has posted a tremendous amount of information on our Web site, which is updated daily. The Web site was also redesigned

Bureau of Automotive Repair Shuts Down Five Northern California Purrfect Auto Service ShopsInvestigation finds pattern of abuse and willful misconductThe Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) suspended the Automotive Repair Dealership (ARD) registrations of five Purrfect Auto Service shops, effectively shutting them down temporarily, after an investigation found evidence of a pattern of abuse and willful misconduct.

BAR sought, and was granted, an Interim Suspension Order (ISO) affecting four shops in Sacramento and one in Fairfield, all of which are suspected of numerous violations of the Automotive Repair Act. The alleged violations include charging for parts and/or services that were not needed and in some cases not provided, making false or misleading statements, and departing from accepted trade standards.

BAR Continues to Move Forward on Smog Check Licensing RestructureRegulations expected to be adopted in 2012It’s often said that Smog Check stations and the technicians they employ serve as the face of the Smog Check Program. Consumers who patronize stations that employ technicians who can answer their questions, efficiently test a vehicle, and can successfully perform repairs are more likely to have a positive impression of the Smog Check Program and comply with the requirements of the law.

With the needs and demands of the marketplace in mind, the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) has been working over the past year to develop a strategy to improve the existing structure for licensing Smog Check technicians without compromising vehicle emissions reduction goals.

Conceptually, BAR seeks to implement a structure whereby a technician’s qualifications would be specific to the services for which they are licensed to provide, and stations would be able to choose the technicians whose qualifications best meets their needs. Licensing paths would be available for highly skilled and proficient technicians as well as for those with less experience.

Part of the restructuring process involves soliciting public input and comments. BAR staff have held a number of workshops with industry representatives, licensees, business owners, and BAR-certified instructors and schools. Workshops were held throughout the state, including Marysville, Los Angeles, Hayward, and Sacramento.

The reception to BAR’s proposal has been positive. Many industry representatives see it as a natural step that meets the needs of both the industry and the marketplace. There were, however, some concerns about the initial concept, and BAR responded with some revisions. For example, initially BAR wanted all repair technicians to have ASE A-6 A-8 and L-1 certification. Based on industry input, BAR added an education with experience option. Also based on industry input, an inexperienced inspector candidate must pass a competency assessment to qualify for Smog Check training. Many of those who initially had concerns are now in favor of the plans.

“I’m really excited about this proposal because we’ve heard so much from industry and technicians about having a licensing structure that reflects the needs of the marketplace,” notes Patrick Dorais, Deputy Chief of BAR. “The real beauty of this proposal is that it really does

protect the consumer without compromising emissions reduction goals,” he adds.

This restructuring proposal is important to technicians, businesses, and BAR. As such, public input is an important part of the process. You are encouraged to visit www.smogcheck.ca.gov to learn about the latest developments as they relate to this proposal. BAR expects to adopt regulations concerning this proposal in early 2012.

Consumer Assistance Program ExpandsMotorists can now retire a vehicle at any time, for any reasonFew programs are more important to California in removing unwanted, high polluting vehicles than the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP). Since its inception, CAP has retired thousands of vehicles, removing hundreds of tons of emissions from our air annually.

Although the success of CAP is undeniable, continued success has been hamstrung by certain program requirements. Previously under CAP’s vehicle retirement option, eligibility to participate was limited to, among other things, consumers who owned a vehicle that failed a biennial Smog Check inspection. With the passage of Assembly Bill (AB) 118 (Chapter 750, Statutes of 2007), the rules for participating in vehicle retirement have changed.

Effective August 2010, a consumer can retire a vehicle at any time and for any reason, as long as they meet program requirements. Vehicles no longer need to fail a biennial Smog Check inspection. Consumers can also retire a pre-1976 model year vehicle. These vehicles can be retired at one of over 30 dismantler sites under contract with the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR).

BAR has also added a voucher component to CAP. Under this element of CAP, BAR notifies consumers of high polluting vehicles about their eligibility to receive either $2,000 or $2,500, depending on their annual income, toward the purchase of a lower emitting vehicle or transportation passes from a local transit district. Vouchers will be administered initially in the San Joaquin Pollution Control District and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Eventually, vouchers will be offered to consumers statewide.

“CAP has gone through a lot of changes over the years, but it’s never been anything like this,” states Tonya Blood, CAP manager. “Retiring a vehicle and helping clean the air have never been easier. BAR’s commitment to clean air has never been greater. I’m really proud to be part of this effort,” she adds.

BAR is promoting these changes by targeting consumers through BAR’s DriveHealthy campaign and the Web site.

As always, consumers can submit an application for processing at any one of BAR’s 12 field offices. Applications are processed on the spot. To learn more about the changes to CAP, please visit www.smogcheck.ca.gov.

Purrfect Auto Service Shops (continued from cover)

“Maintenance services have become an increasingly important segment for the automotive repair marketplace,” said BAR Chief Sherry Mehl. “Unfortunately, it is also an area where consumers can easily fall prey to deceptive business practices. The Department aggressively works to find and shut down shops that are hurting both consumers and hard-working, law-abiding auto repair shops.”

The ISO followed numerous consumer complaints and an investigation in which BAR documented evidence of alleged violations. In addition, BAR obtained declarations from seven former employees confirming the business practices of the shops’ owner, Alabani, Inc.

The Purrfect Auto Service stores have the right to an administrative hearing to contest the charges.

The following are the names and addresses of the five shops involved:

Purrfect Auto Service #226 >9701 Folsom Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95827

Purrfect Auto Service #232 >2344 Sunrise Blvd., Rancho Cordova, CA 95670

Purrfect Auto Service #234 >525 Cirby Way, Roseville, CA 95678

Purrfect Auto Service #229 >2525 North Texas St., Fairfield, CA 94533

Advertising Malfunction Indicator Light Diagnosis

The Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) has noticed an increase in the number of consumer complaints regarding auto repair shops that are advertising free or low-cost Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) diagnoses.

Some shops use their scan tool to retrieve the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC), then tell the customer that there is an additional charge to diagnose the problem. This is considered a “bait and switch” tactic because most vehicle malfunctions that will set an MIL cannot be diagnosed by simply retrieving and identifying the DTCs. For example, a simple misfire code might require a secondary ignition diagnosis, a fuel delivery diagnosis, and an engine compression/cylinder leak-down test.

These advertisements also do not meet the minimum disclosure requirements for price advertising set forth in California law. Advertisements with the words “diagnosis,” “analysis,” “inspection,” or any other similar terms must follow the industry recognized diagnostic procedures necessary to determine the specific causes of the DTCs and then advise the customer. Shops that do not perform these procedures for the advertised price

should disclose that they will likely not identify the specific problem(s) that set the light.

It is important to note that when a vehicle fails a smog inspection, only licensed Smog Check Test-and-Repair stations can perform the diagnoses and repairs, which must be performed by a licensed Smog Check technician.

Revised Smog Check Program Inspection ProceduresNew procedures simplify the inspection processIn January 2010, regulations were adopted that incorporated a revised Smog Check Inspection Procedures Manual. Some of the major changes are as follows:

Diesel-powered vehicles that are model year 1998 >and newer with a 14,000 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and less must be inspected biennially and during change of ownership. Inspections require a visual check of emissions control components, a visible smoke test, and an onboard diagnostic functional test. Additional details and training materials are available at www.smogcheck.ca.gov.

Gasoline-powered vehicle visible smoke test: A BAR >Snap Test sequence has been added to the gasoline

vehicle smoke test. The BAR Snap Test requires the technician to quickly push-and-release the accelerator pedal from the idle position to between 2,000 and 3,000 RPM, then immediately allow the engine to return to idle.

Fill pipe restrictor test: The fuel tank fill pipe >restrictor test and dowel gauge tool are no longer required.

Deletion of the fuel cap test: The fuel cap >functional test is no longer required on model year 2000 and newer vehicles.

Deletion of the EGR functional test: The EGR >functional test is no longer required on 1996 and newer model year vehicles.

The Smog Check Inspection Procedures Manual and its accompanying publication, the Smog Check Reference Guide, may be downloaded from the Smog Check Web site at www.smogcheck.ca.gov, under the Industry tab.

A Message from the California Air Resources Board

Violations in Clean Air Laws Result in Large SettlementsThousands distributed to community colleges and clean air fundThe California Air Resources Board (ARB) distributed more than $86,000 to community colleges and a State clean-air fund in April 2010 as a result of settlements with companies that violated clean air laws.

The violations included failure to conduct smoke inspection tests, comply with trash truck regulations, and install certified emissions reduction equipment on diesel engines.

“Diesel emissions are a serious health threat to those who live — and work — near these vehicles,” said ARB Enforcement Chief James Ryden. “Compliance with state rules ensures that these emissions are kept in check. We’re glad that these settlements will benefit community colleges and clean-air research and education.”

These settlements, totaling $86,100, will be distributed to the California Air Pollution Control Fund and the Peralta Community College District. The fund will receive $64,575 for projects and research to improve California’s air quality. The remaining $21,525 will go to the college district to fund emissions education classes conducted by participating California community colleges around the state.

These settlements were the result of the following violations:

Failure to properly inspect their diesel vehicles, as required >by California law, between 2005 and 2009:

Eggelton Trucking of Temecula: $6,000•

Stidham Trucking Inc. of Yreka: $25,500•

Gill Brothers Trucking Inc. of Fresno: $7,000•

Drake Farms Trucking of San Luis Obispo: $7,500•

Failure to properly inspect diesel-powered vehicles >between 2007 and 2008 and neglecting to install proper emission-reduction devices, required by law:

California Waste Solutions of Oakland and • San Jose: $6,500

Eel River Disposal Company of Fortuna: $9,600•

Installing illegal diesel exhaust retrofits on customer >vehicles in 2007 and 2008:

Cummins West Inc. of San Leandro: $24,000•

Diesel exhaust contains a variety of harmful gases and over 40 other known cancer-causing compounds. In 1998, California identified diesel particulate matter as a toxic air contaminant based on its potential to cause cancer, premature death, and other health problems.

These vehicles utilize a ported type of EGR system wherein each cylinder has an individual port to feed the exhaust gas. When one or more of the ports become restricted or plugged, the remaining open ports are fed excess exhaust and can cause a misfire. Since exhaust gases are inert, they cause the cylinders with clear ports to be too rich. Hesitation, stumble, and high levels of HC and CO may cause an emissions failure.

This TSB provides information on diagnosing the root cause of poor engine performance, rough idle, stalls, engine cranks no start and possible P0300. The vent screens in the base become clogged causing excessive corrosion inside the distributor causing the misfire. The A/C line runs above the distributor and condensation drips onto it. This TSB later became recall 05500.

Toyota Camry 1996-2004 SSM DTC P0340

This code can be caused by the timing belt being off by two or more teeth. The diagnostic flow chart does not show this as a check and the last step in the diagnostic flow chart is to replace the ECM.

Recalls

Dodge Dakota 2001 Recall 963

Certain vehicles were inadvertently built without the evaporative canister purge orifice installed. This could cause drivability problems and/or emit HC and CO levels exceeding California emissions standards.

Ford Taurus 2002 Recall 02M01S6

Certain vehicles experience a failed tube mounted EGR pressure sensor. Ford has extended the warranty for this part two additional years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

The Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) routinely conducts post audit reviews of repairs performed by Gold Shield stations. In the course of conducting those reviews, BAR has determined that it is not uncommon for technicians to overlook Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), Special Service Messages (SSMs) and manufacturer recalls when diagnosing and repairing a vehicle. Failure to consult those resources can result in stations performing unnecessary and costly repairs.

To avoid this situation, BAR has identified some of the most commonly overlooked TSBs, SSMs, and manufacturer recalls

as they relate to CAP repairs. (Please see the table below.)

Remember, TSBs, SSMs and manufacturer recalls are available through major automotive information providers as well as manufacturer Web sites and should always be checked as part of the diagnostic process. Taking the time to perform a thorough and complete diagnosis and repair right the first time is in the best interest of your shop and customers.

If you have questions, CAP technical staff is available to assist you and can be reached directly at 916.255.0719, extension 2.

Holding Government Accountable (continued from cover)

to make it easier to navigate through the information. The availability of this information helps to ensure that you — the stakeholder — understand the goals of this administration and hold us accountable for the decisions that we are making.

Yet access to information means nothing if the public does not have an opportunity to share their ideas, expertise, and insight. That’s why I hold quarterly Bureau advisory group meetings. These meetings, which are open to the public, provide an excellent forum for consumers, industry representatives, and licensees to hear and discuss issues that may affect them. They also provide an opportunity to clarify and enlighten. Information about these meetings is posted on BAR’s Web site.

I understand that schedule conflicts often prevent individuals from attending these advisory meetings. That’s why every year I accept dozens of invitations to speak at events sponsored by industry members, technical schools, and consumer associations. When I am unable to attend an event, I will send staff, many of whom are recognized leaders in the field of consumer protection and vehicle emissions reductions. If you have

an event that would benefit from my presence or the presence of my staff, I encourage you to contact your local field office or my staff at 916.255.4300.

The opportunity to learn about the Bureau and to share your ideas is not limited to advisory meetings and speaking engagements. Every year, Bureau staff work to develop regulations affecting various aspects of the Smog Check and automotive repair industries. Part of the regulatory development process often involves holding public workshops to discuss major regulatory initiatives. BAR has utilized these workshops to garner public input, most recently on a proposal to restructure the licensing of individuals under the Smog Check Program. The Bureau has held other workshops involving the testing of diesel-powered vehicles and implementation of a visible smoke test. Public input during these workshops was invaluable. Information about future workshops are always posted on BAR’s Web site and sent through electronic transmission notifications.

The issue of transparency in government is something I take seriously. Suggestions for improving this transparency are always welcome.

Green Station Recognition ProgramThe Bureau of Automotive Repair has partnered with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control to recognize stations and shops that engage in environmentally-friendly practices as part of their normal business. These practices range from recycling used oil and coolants to using water-based parts cleaners instead of solvents.

Participation in the program is voluntary and there are no fees to participate.

If you would like to learn more about the Green Station Recognition Program, please visit www.smogcheck.ca.gov/greenstationprogram.
