Follow these steps ...

1) Go to the worst and desperate looking Test Only Smog cert shop.

2) Say "I have cash ... what will it cost to pass the test"

3) If they give you "the nod" and quote something that is clearly higher than the standard rate ($20-40 more), then you are at the right place.

4) Ask "does this price guarantee certification ?"

If they say "yes" to this last question, then you scored ... if not, repeat this at another Test Only place until successful.

This is designed to not fall into the category of bribery. All you were asking is "what does it cost". It is their decision to "cross the line" ... they are the emissions experts, not you.
