Default No More Smog Tests For Us!

Saving a bit of time and money for us

"Depending on what you’re driving in 2013, you could save a few bucks when it comes to getting your smog test.

Cars made in the year 2000 or later will no longer require a tail pipe emissions test. The new law is meant to save motorists money and time."

We still have to Smog test, it's only the method that's changing.

There will be no money saved. They'll just OBDII you instead of tail pipe.

That is why when I got a smog test earlier today, it only took the guy like 5-10 mins. Still had to pay. Thought we just go to get visual inspection and that's good enough. Oh well, at least I was there quick.

I didn't really see what he did. I was in the office and as soon as I turn around, he was done. It was quick. I might ask him tomorrow if he did the sniffer or not.
