    Small world. Anyway, why was the tech an idiot?

      So he's an "idiot" because he hurt yours and/or your uncles feelings. Got it.

        Since no one knows what is different then there is no justification in saying he's an idiot.

        There could have been solar flares that fucked up his machine.

          And I may be reaching here, but it's kinda weird that you mention having to do a smog the legal way this time, implying last time you did it illegally, then saying your uncle has a smog shop, and giving the address etc. and talking trash about this other shop.

          Does your uncle do illegal smogs?

          Are you advertising for your uncle?

            I was just curious why you call the tech an idiot because there's no evidence he was negligent. So do you think they failed you on purpose to make an extra $10? Maybe if they were very slow. I have had a shop do something like that, I was quite surprised my white M3 (stock) didn't pass and they charged $20 for a retest. They advertised one price but changed it once I got there too. I felt that maybe they were in the wrong gear ...lugging the engine trying to get it to fail the 15mph, which it did. After getting quoted $29 on the phone, I ended up paying $49 + 20 = $69!!!

            It's a small world because I'm familiar with the area and half Vietnamese.

              I like that answer better, there's no reason to call out that shop or tech since none of us knows why it failed.

              I wonder if going to a shop in the ghetto is more likely to end up like this with messed up tests, resentment, and negative reviews online.

                You could have left out the idiot part to begin with, bust since you brought that to the table, that's what's gonna get talked about.

                  If you can't take it, don't dish it.

                      That's fine...I just felt the thread was useless now with all the unnecessary "fighting"

                            3" catless exhaust with headers to a 4" magnaflow exhaust...OBD2 is where they get you in NY, since my car is old I do not have to hook up to machines and watch them fake failing O2 sensors. I have seen it happen before, they do anything to get a buck.

                            I take mine to a shop owned by friends, we just chill out and talk for 30 mins after they laugh at trying to put it up on a lift.
