I went to this place last week and asked the tech if my check engine light was on,would my car flunk the smog check.. He said he would have to connect and test my car to see what it was. And of course it failed. I was just reading about smog checks on the DMV web site and it said that the check engine light was on. It was a automatic fail for the smog check.
Why did he not tell me this? He did take my $14.95 plus $1.00 because I used my debit card. Why did he not tell me about the light being on would make my car fail? I would have skipped the check and had my car fixed and then come back for the inspection. Now from what I understand. You guys will inspect again for another $10.00. Are you guys that hard up for money to not tell me the correct answer to my question?
