[QUOTE]Originally posted by SS396 chevelle: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by East Bay 50: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by v-town coupe: [qb] So I went to get a smog yesterday and was talking to the Tech and he was telling me that ALL smog techs Are now on a report card system through the state of CA. What this means simply is there will be more FAILS as Techs are afraid of loosing their license.The smog Techs get ding'd everytime the have to do a restart and other things. for ex: lets say you come in and the CAT on your car is cold and the tech runs it seeing that you may not pass and does a re-start now that he has warmed your CAT up. that is A ding against him. This Tech showed me his report card which if you get the Techs license number you can look online at their report card on the state website. So for those going to get a legit smog make sure you make an appointment and warm that cat up before going in! make sure that tech takes your car right away, as you dont want the cat to cool down too much! for those getting faulty smogs, congrats your smog hook up will be more $$$ now, more then likely. The Tech also mentioned that here soon there will be Cameras in shops that have a direct feed to the state and they will be able to view footage of smogs. Some of you may call BS on this but this shop has always kept their nose clean and they are straight and by the book. everything hes every told me, he has shown me proof either there on the spot or as soon as the new protocol kicked in.just trying to give everyone a heads up. [/qb][/QUOTE]the state is broke. They are not going to spend millions of dollars for closed circuit TV of your smog tech lol! [/qb][/QUOTE]state has nothing to the way the bar smog programs is ran.the bar runs of the fines the get from shops an techs doing there jobs wrong. [/QB][/QUOTE]
