The 76 gas station in the same plaza as the Safeway on Mission Blvd.(Fremont) I had my S smogged there, with my car...3 inches off the ground? It should be able to clear no problem there.

I didn't have my carb# from Vortech but he read the numbers off of the unit so I didn't have any problems.

Good luck

+1 highly recommended place by the NSXprime guys and he does plenty of exotics too.

Cool car guy who loves BMW's is a definite plus - look at my review I wrote for him on there. He did my NSX recently and if my car can make it up there, any s2000 can for sure

It's comments like this that will create trouble for that smog spot from the BAR. Let's hope this guy doesnt get screwed over from online rumors..

Agreed, or expect to go in there hoping for a hook up, and getting flat out denied because he's been warned or busted already. Place I went with "a reputation" told me my $40 smog check wasn't worth the potential $500 fine and told me to scram.

I think you guys who walk in expecting to be "hooked up" for no reason is way too selfish. Like anyone will help you out for a lousy $40 bucks or even $100 - if they get shut down are you going to pay his bills?

I heard of a place in SF (who shall remain nameless) but they charge at least $600+ (my point is gotta pay to play and please keep the names off the net)

Smog violations are punishable to confisaation of their $50,000 machine, jail / prison time for a few years, revoked smog license and tens of thousands in fines... Is that risk worth $40-60 smogs or even $300.. That's why those who actually hook it up... Only does it for trust worthy close friends.
