You agree that your credit card will be charged for the full cost of your reservation with a Supplier upon submitting your reservation request via the Site.

You may cancel or change your prepaid reservation. If you cancel a reservation you will be refunded the pre-paid reservation amount. You may cancel or change your reservation 2 hours prior to your reservation time.
As a pre-paid ONLINESMOGCHECK customer, you are eligible to receive one (1) free re-inspection if your vehicle fails its inspection the first time. The offer of free re-inspection is only valid within 15 days of the first inspection and will be delivered by the station that completed the first inspection. You may reschedule this free re-inspection online to get an appointment, or by going directly to the station and getting served on a stand-by (first come, first serve) basis.
If your vehicle fails its initial inspection, then fails the re-inspection or if you fail to complete the re-inspection within the 15 days, you will not be delivered a California smog state certificate. As a result we will automatically refund to your credit card the amount of $8.25 representing the pre-paid deposit for the state certificate.
You are responsible for any additional repair charge that arises at the smog check station.
