Step by Step: How to get a CA Salvage Title
Exact instructions from the DMV.
The DMV has very specific instructions on how to get a salvaged title. I have provided a link directly to the California DMV website with detailed instructions on what items you need to get a California salvaged title from the DMV.

Just click on the “How it Works” picture to the right to be taken to the DMV page that discusses the CA brake and light inspection requirements.
Why do I need a brake and light inspection?

The purpose of a brake and lamp inspection is to make sure that a vehicle being issued a California DMV salvage title is..
How much does a brake and light inspection cost?
How do I know I am getting a fair price of an inspection?

You will do very well to shop around as the price of a brake and light inspection can vary greatly. The only fixed cost the shop has is the cost of the California Brake and Lamp Inspection Certificate which costs only $7, the rest of the cost is labor. We have found that prices vary from $60-120 for a brake and light inspection and certificate and this cost is negotiable at some shops.
