Smogez is a Test Only station, so it cannot do the repair. You would have the work done at a repair shop, then come back for the retest; each station sets its own retest price, so ask before the first test. BAR's Consumer Assistance Program pays up to $1,450 toward emissions repairs for income-eligible owners.
