In the Democratic Republic of California, there are 2 portions to the biannual smog test. .
the first part is the visual inspection of the components, then the actual emission test. If the smog tech is knowledgeable, he'll look for the thermal reactors, and seeing they are missing, FAIL the car immediately and proceed no further. Then you're off to the Referee Station for an adventure in bureaucratic lunacy. You're at their mercy and they are not there to help you. . . Their job is to get polluters off the road. Here's the scoop on a Parts Availability Repair Waiver "In any of the above failure cases, if the parts needed to bring the vehicle into compliance are not available, you may apply for a referee-approved parts availability waiver. Take the vehicle to a referee station and verify through documentation that the needed parts to repair the vehicle are not available. You can then receive up to a two-year waiver on repairing the vehicle, and the vehicle will be smog certified during the allotted time period. " |
