Exclamation SMOG... It's that time again :(

I went to a local shop to get a quote they said $73!!!

I realize it's been quite some time since I got one, but $73 is astronomically ridiculous!!!

What did you pay? Where? Thanks peeps

When I took mine in, they couldn't dyno it because of the AWD.

Theres definitely not as many pass or dont pay stations around anymore. BAR really dont like them.

That said I charge 40-100$ depending on the vehicle. For Iclubbers $35 is fine but bring a legit car or else it wont pass.

I prefer the ghetto gas stations because I figure they'll know less about the visuals
