The California Air Resources Board recently announced that JEGS Automotive, Inc. will be paying $1,700,500 for selling illegal aftermarket parts in California.

“This large settlement sends a powerful message to those in the retail community that selling aftermarket parts not approved for sale to California drivers is a risk not worth taking,” said CARB Executive Officer Richard Corey. “Our tough air quality laws exist to protect public health, and those who flout these rules can expect to be caught and pay a steep price. We commend JEGS for cooperating and are confident that the company will not repeat this costly mistake.”

This is big news in our industry and serves as a reminder of how important it is to navigate both EPA and CARB regulations, which often differ from one another.
