LFM Smog Check Persons

It's that time and year. I need to get smogged and this is the first time I'll have had to do it since I started putting fun/funny things in my car.

I do run a high flow cat and should pass a sniffer. All I need is a friendly shop who will over look a visual. I'd rather not have to drive to an hour in any direction to find a place.

Any place in the San Ramon, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton locale would be ideal. I could stretch for Hayward and Fremont areas as well.

If anyone else has further interest in offering assistance we can set up some super secret in person meeting that is loaded with convoluted clues, drops, pre-paid phones, mobile meeting locations, hood winks, decoys, exploding power plants, and other stuff to throw Big Brother off.

Can you PM me the results of your sniffer? I'd like to know if you're able to pass with a high-flo cat. Much appreciated!

This isn't some 90's underground rave party. No need for such nonsense.

I know you're being humorous here, but seriously, let me tell you how to do this the discrete way. You know, life skills.

1. Get to know people in the community in person (the old school way, like off the internet. I know, it's really hard)
2. Ask them where to get smogged: "Yo man, can you help me out?"
3. Yay! You win!

Yeah this.

People can lose their careers over stuff like this. BAR is a real ***** and isn't 'friends' with anyone.

Extenuating circumstances prevent me from getting to know the community the old fashioned/traditional way. I go to school at Humboldt State (4 and a half to 6 hours north) where there is an extremely limited Impreza community and by limited I mean something around six. The automotive industry is a little shaddy up there, so much so that we all make the haul down to the Bay a handful of times per year or do work ourselves. I was looking to i-club to expedite the process.
