Someone needs to create a freakin sticky. DO NOT LOOK FOR SHADY SMOG HOOK UPS.

It's bad for the smog shops. Bad for us as a community. Etc.

Then you're looking for a pass or don't pay station. They are very rare these days because BAR looks down on them and I can't say I blame them. Here I googled one for you in San Jose.

Smog Check : Monterey Test Only - San Jose, CA

We also offer one-time "no-pass, no-pay".

I think I'm going to give out my paypal and claim to give smogs then just take peoples money. The thing that amazes me 1) the amount of turds who ask about this without searching, it's gotta be the most posted things. 2) if you are asking on the internet it's probably a matter of downpipe and you are just being lazy and willing to overpay.

Hey by the way I was really looking for like a pound of cocaine, do you know anywhere around here that sells it?

goddamn


EDITED WITH SOLUTION -

Somebody start up a business here, yes you can smog their car for what however many hundreds of bucks? then just slap a stock down pipe on their car for them and take it to get smogged? then swap back.
