Car Registration

Scam. Scam. Scam. Do your car registration renewal through the official California DMV website. Do not do it through this business site. It charges additional for something you do for free online Your government services end in '.gov'. Commercial services sell for a profit and end in '.com'. How does this happen? Large institutions can lose user account information. Then deceitful companies like carregistration.com collect your info and contact you and impersonate the original institution. My senior mother got emailed from this company. The instructions said to pay car registration plus additional fees. But she hasn't owned the car for 3 years.

Didn't realize this wasn't the actual CA DMV website until right after I finished paying. There was a about $60 in additional fees to the registration renewal. I contacted customer service and they are refunding me with no questions asked. I will update once the refund is in my account if they refund in full or not.

This site is an absolute joke. My registration renewal was $289. These bastardos charged a service fee that totaled the cost to $359. Even though this is an official affiliate of the California DMV, it was my mistake for not making sure that is was the legitimate DMV website. Still, this site is a borderline scam by replicating the appearance and legitimacy of the actual DMV website that closely. I immediately called their customer service line and demanded a refund, which they did give me. Essentially, their business model is making money off of people by tricking them into thinking it's the actual DMV. But, I guess it's a good lesson and reminder for us consumers to slow down, read the fine print, and make sure we don't put ourselves in these situations by rushing through things.

I don't even know how this company got my email. I naively responded thinking it was affiliated with the DMV. It is a scammy third party website. This should absolutely be illegal. If you have to get your car smogged the smog place has no ability to notify them and you can not get ahold of anyone in customer service. However, going through the DMV the smog place contacts them directly. There is no purpose to this company except to scam. Shame on legislatures and lack of consumer protection to not do their jobs and protect consumers from nefarious companies like this.
