Readers seek help on car title transfer and vehicle inspections
A resident asks ACTION LINE to assist in obtaining a pink slip from the California DMV after a private Honda sale, with Aveo Financial Services holding the document. A DMV spokesman says to contact Aveo, which will forward the pink slip to the seller who must then sign it over. Also, a reader questions water hardness, denied by the Long Beach Water Dept, noting only tiny chlorine variations with weather. A CHP spokesman explains tentative inspection schedules change, advising to call the local office before 10:30 a.m. daily for current Long Beach area inspection locations.
