Smog & Emissions
DMV Brake & Lamp Certificates
The paperwork the DMV asks for, issued by a licensed station.
The DMV will not complete a salvage or specially constructed registration without official brake and lamp certificates from a licensed station. Photos and a general shop's invoice do not substitute.
We complete the state inspection forms correctly the first time, so your registration appointment isn't wasted on a rejected packet.
