Register Your Vehicle With Brake And Lamp Certification


Many people want to save and keep their salvaged automobile and need a brake and lamp certification. Smog-Latino is your head-tail lamp and brake inspection Center for California.

Smog-Latino is a California state-approved brake and light inspection station serving Fontan and beyond. If you want to register your vehicle with a Salvaged Title through the Department of Motor Vehicles, then you will need these inspections. A salvaged vehicle is defined as one that could have met in an accident, stolen, or has been cited by the California Highway Patrol.

The Department of Motor Vehicle considers the ownership of the vehicle to be changed, even if the owner of the vehicle remains the same thereby requiring a salvaged title to receive a certificate specifying that the vehicle is in safe operating condition.

The inspection must be performed for the DMV before they will issue a title to the owner of the vehicle. The inspection takes about two hours to perform.

- Brake shoes can be no thinner than 3/32 to the metal of any kind and they will be measured.

With this constant increase in the usage of cars, the chances of pollution in the atmosphere have also increased tremendously posing a serious threat to the surroundings as well as on the health of the people.
