Consumer Assistance Program - Vehicle Retirement (Income Qualified)
The Consumer Assistance Program's (CAP) vehicle retirement option offers eligible consumers an incentive to retire their operational vehicle. Consumers meeting the income eligibility requirement may receive up to $2,000 for their retired vehicle. All other vehicle owners may receive $1,350 to retire their vehicle at a BAR-contracted dismantler. To determine your eligibility and incentive amount, start the application process on the program website.
To be eligible for the $2,000 incentive, your gross household income must be less than or equal to 225% of the federal poverty level and your vehicle must fail its most recent Smog Check inspection.
