Default where do you guys go to get smogged?

i need to get my car smogged...was just wondering if theres anywhere you guys frequent as im very particular when it comes to people touching / driving my car. the guy i took my previous car to was alright aside from the fact that he never turned the car off with the key...hed always just stall it, which bothered me.

so, is there a smog place you guys trust?

thanks.

They stalled your car to turn it off?

Anyways, I took my S to a valero gas station off of White and Aborn in San Jose. I had no issues with them; they knew what they were doing, respected my car (albeit I was watching them with an eagle eye), and was a fair price.

Wait, you are supposed to turn off the car with the key?
I thought stalling was the only way to turn off the S2000!

Did your smog-tech look like this?

Where are you located I know a few places. My buddies folks run Mission Smog in Hayward and they're really nice, and treat your car with a little more care than what you described.

19th ave 76 station was one of the cheapest in my area. No complaints!
