I live here in smog free California. Received the
dmv renewal. Older cars require going to a smog only
station that examines the car in more detail. As always I
was worried about my car. Brought it to regular mechanic
who made some adjustments and then took it over for the test.

Car passed. Only downside is that the inspection now coat $80 to $100.

Im now legal for two years. My car has been trouble free for past seven years and 36,000 miles driven
