Does anyone know of anyone or a place that will let me pass a smog test if I pay for extras ? ?
I am having a very difficult time because my friend bought me a car that is a hassle. I was told that it needs to be repaired to pass the smog test and that it will cost $ about 6000 to repair. I just bought the car and I am a student and I don't have that kind of money right now. So I am stuck in a situation where I can't register my car and I can't get it repaired. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some information.

If smoke is blowing from the engine, the smog will not pass. I think $ 6000 for repairs is fair.

There used to be vendors who would do it for you, but now even Mexican companies don't do it very often because of the stricter penalties and such if they are found out. It is too risky to be shut down for just $100 or so.

I don't even know if it's blowing smoke when I buy it. LOL

I thought you could just replace the catalyst ?
Then it would be $2000 at most to get ripped off.

Don't tell me you're imagining it blowing black smoke like a diesel ? It depends.
When did the catalyst $ 2000 ? ? come out? Yutaka.

I bought a factory OEM catalytic converter from the dealer last month for $ 1,300 and installed it myself.
I had to ask a mechanic to do it for an additional $250.

something ? lol
