they will pay up to $500 for repairs and if the diagnosis exceeds that amount then they will pay you $1000 for you to take your car off the road ie. buy it from you.

just an FYI...

my cousin got a ticket for a "modified exhaust....."

totally fuckin bullshit... because its a stock exhaust with a frekkin shinny tip (got it from Jackson for $20, lol)

when he asked the cop "wtf?"

cop said, it doesnt have to be sound, it "looks modified" so he's able to give him a ticket...

also... some CHP stations are able to sign off the ticket, other stations will refer you to a ref station. You have to set an appointment for a referree to look at your car, but they charge $60.

Sooo... potentially, if you get a "modified exhaust ticket" you'd be spending around $70-$80 ($60 for ref, $10-15 for court fees)... this is all because it looks modified, it has nothing to do with emissions or decible reading.

I on the otherhand did recieve a "modified exhaust" ticket awhile back, but decided to just pay it off to avoid any other bs from the ref... I paid the court about $123.

There was one on Beach Blvd, after Lincoln (Anaheim) about a month ago. It said survey crew and they had a white trailer with tons of cops. Luckly i was in my daily and they waved me through. It took about 20 minutes.

So, my understanding of "Smog Check II" is that if you fail at these mobile test centers you get a letter in the mail telling you that you failed the test and directing you to take the car to get retested. I assume at a ref station not at a garage test.

Correct. Some check for registration and insurance. They do that quite often in El Monte.

So its ok to have a modified exhaust as long as it meets the regulations? Cuz I just got one a couple days ago and get this the cop put down 91 honda prelude on vechicle description when I drive a 91 coupe wtf!!!

DohcKA

any time the cops writes wrong information down you should be able to get the ticket signed off somehow.... had it happen to friends where they wrote wrong info down...

yes it is legal to have a modified exhaust has to meet the db level

ho0dlumka13

so what do you think i should do just take my ticket to the courts and show that he wrote the wrong information down on the ticket? what if they just give me another ticket with the right infomation on it?lol

mobilesuit818

There was a road side test this morning in Southbay, on Western and Artesia.

DohcKA

they most likely wont... i think they'll either bump your ticket down or let you get off scott free...

I was approved for the $500 repair at at a state sponsored auto shop. I went to visit a few and they looked at my car and said I would need another $500 or more above what California would give me. And they wanted to go with all OEM parts. Plus the mechanics sounded like jerks--wanted to do things their way. I just went to my mechanic and had everything done the correct way.

Somewhat dated thread, but is this non-sense still going on? I've gone through a few of those license and soberity checks but never been asked to take a smog test or to pop my hood(thank god).

I remember last year i was on my lunch break and got food near the bakers in corona (intersect of mckinley and magnolia). on the way back to work i took magnolia headn west and i spotted a mobile smog station the traffic was slow and a cop regulates it. i was in my 96 camry and he directed me to station and asked he if i would like to get my car tested so i had a choice to move on, but i had time to kill and they found why my engine check light was on and gave me a print out

long story short
so basically i had a choice to go through it and it is usually in the same area annually

worangejuice

random smog stations,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,our tax dollars at work :/

Mister.E

threads like this are why i am never coming back to this shithole of a state. california is so anal about the dumbest shit.

Dee

Yea, pretty frustrating living here as any type of car enthusiast but I think I'm at the point where if I get busted randomly even if I'm obeying all traffic laws I think I'll just give it up and buy a 1st gen GS300; It's just ridiculous and all these asswipes that try to streetrace me every time I take my car out aren't making it any better.

ugh*.

and i drive every weekend to the OC in my 240... shiyatttt...

coww-cho!!!!!

*ALERT, ALERT*
coming right off WOOD st. and onto Van buren heading west there is a smog "survey" station you can see a huge caution sign before you continue on onto van buren passing wood. there are two ways around this if your heading back to riverside towards tyler mall

take wood heading south down to cajalco , make a right and get off el sobrante and take it to moking bird to get on van buren or continue on sobrante til you hit
la sierra

or take trautwein to alessandro
