Good to hear it's all getting straightened out. It's a PITA finding a good smog station here. I have been to more than one that will actually try to fail your vehicle. Then again, I have been to a few good ones, too. There is a private shop here in Lancaster I have been going for a few years and there is a Mobil station in Northridge and a private shop in Newhall I would go to again.

I would file a complaint with the DMV emissions lab. It's just not enough to complain about it, You need to put a complaint in writing. They should have given you a free smog & apologized as well. That's the kind of service that is offered today it seems. Now people will hear about this through word of mouth & by seeing it in this forum & other places I'm sure. A simple free smog & apology could have really made things go in a different direction.

Agreed. That's one thing I really miss... Customer Service. Just a few years ago even a gas station attendant would treat you well. Now it seems that everywhere you go people act like you are an inconvenience to them.

I know exactly where that is. A bit of a trek from my house, but that's a pretty good deal. We resmogged the truck at the Terribles on Durango and Sahara. The tech was very polite and professional, but 6 bucks more expensive than your guy.
