The Vehicle Buy Back program is BACK! The Bureau of Automotive Repair's Consumer Assistance Program is once again offering the CA Vehicle Retirement Program.
This program buys high-polluting vehicles from motorists. To qualify for the program your vehicle must fail its biennial smog check. The program will offer $1000 per vehicle as long as funds are available.
A goal of the vehicle buy back program is to encourage a the removal of older, polluting vehicles from California and to encourage them to be replaced with newer, cleaner vehicles and other transportation options.
You must first obtain and fail a smog check inspection at a California smog check station. Then you may apply to CAP and obtain approval prior to receiving payment from a CAP authorized dismantler. Contact the California State Bureau of Automotive Repairs at 1.800.952.5210 to have an application mailed out to you today.
