Which action is required when a test-only smog station changes location within the same city?

• A. Contact the local BAR to obtain the proper forms and submit the fee
• B. Contact the DMV
• C. Post notice on the storefront
• D. No action required

Answer: (A)

When a test-only smog station changes location, the licensing authority requires formal action to keep records accurate and ensure the new site still meets the program’s standards. The Bureau of Automotive Repair handles these changes and provides the necessary forms; submitting them along with the applicable fee updates the station’s official address and validates the move. This process protects consumers by confirming the new facility has proper equipment, procedures, and inspector qualifications in place before testing can continue. The DMV isn’t the authority for changing a smog station’s location, and simply posting a notice at the storefront doesn’t satisfy regulatory requirements. Doing nothing would leave the record incorrect and could jeopardize the station’s license.
