A seller in the program area must give the buyer a passing emissions test at the time of sale. Details are on the Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles site.

A court can triple the damages when a shop breaks the Act. Read the rule.

Lows drop to freezing on about 150 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over.
