Quick question,
I have a Mk4 golf. I asked a smog place if they could smog it and they said yes. So I took it there, paid $50 dollars and passed smog. 1 month later I get a late bill in the mail for my CA registration. I call the auto shop and they said they got a return on the approval and that they weren't approved to smog me. They never contacted me, so now I have late reg bill, and no smog. Do I have legal action to go to small claims court? I feel like I do. They won't give me a refund.

Is it worth fighting for $50? Unless there's a big late fee for the rego.
well, it was $50 for smog and $100 for the late reg fee. plus, I'm a poor as fuck college student in deep debt with tons of time outside of classes, so yeah it's worth it.

Hire did they not get approved? That doesn't make sense. Do you have a copy of your receipt from the origina smogl? If you do, take them the letter to the smog place and tell them they owe you a refund. If not, then you're screwed. Just pay for a real smog and pay the fees

They "did not get the message" from DMV that they are not approved to smog. I guess in here in CA we have Star and Star+ certfication. They are only Star while my car requires Star+. They didn't catch that issue, in my opinion that is their responsibility, not mine. I called them, asked for a refund since I have to go to a different shop and pay full price, they said no.
I do have a copy of the orig receipt, but I have yet to go in person

If you want to be nasty, you could try telling DMV that the smog place got your business fraudulently by telling you they could smog your car.
Knowing how shit goes in CA, though, you probably don't have any recourse. Pay the fee, get it smogged properly, and move on.

You don't need a smog check to ride the bus, regardless of how much Taco Bell you eat.

Not him, but internet in Australia isn't that bad. My upload is shit, but I get by.

That's fucking weird. I have smogged my cars even with star certificate in the bay area and I have never heard of a situation like yours.

Your jokes aren't funny.
>>16232007
Yeah it is super weird. Volkswagens even before the diesel scandal have had problems with smogging for star+

That is surprising, I lived in Syndey 2 years ago and the only "good" internet I could get was absolute garbage at 2 mbps near Coogee beach.
