West Hills College Lemoore hosts 'Tune In & Tune Up' smog repair event Nov. 2, 8 a.m. to noon

The Tune In & Tune Up smog repair event is scheduled at West Hills College Lemoore (555 College Avenue) next to the West Hills College Golden Eagle Arena on Nov. 2, 8 a.m. to noon. Gates open at 6:30 p.m.

Tune In & Tune-Up is an award-winning vehicle emissions reduction program that helps repair the older, out-of-tune vehicles that are a major impact on air quality throughout the San Joaquin Valley. At Tune In & Tune Up events, Valley drivers who have had their car for at least six months receive a free vehicle emissions test.

If the vehicle doesn’t pass the test, the driver receives a voucher for up to $850 in emission-related testing and repairs at a participating STAR-certified smog check station. Vehicles 1999 or older may also be eligible for up to $9,500 for a down payment on a newer, cleaner car. In addition to the emissions testing, there will be local community booths as well as free food and beverages starting at 8 a.m. while supplies last.
