AVOID SMOG CHECK at Ocean Ave 76 station in San Francisco, California, SMOG check in SF, CA
Got my Smog Check done @ Ocean Ave 76, 1490 Ocean Avenue in San
Francisco, (76 station in SF on the corner of Ocean and Miramar) and I brought in a competitor's coupon which they promised to accept. Then after 20 minutes, the come over and say that one of these tiny vaccum tube seal things had been removed off my Toyota and that it was now considered "modified" but they claim they did me a favor by not marking it "tampered." THey said they noticed a noise from the engine and noticed it was missing, even though the car had passed emissions wise. Then they tell me to go up the block to Kragen and buy the part(was only $2), how convenient that Kragen is just up the street-- *wink*wink... THen they have me retest it, and CHARGE ME again!! for the test. Most places retest for FREE. THe cost of using this "coupon" was that they could charge me MUCH more than I should have paid for a damn smog check. I am sure that there was nothing wrong with my car, since I just went to the dealer last week for a tune up. They are out to CHEAT people. It would be nice to check their fail rate, but I don't think these are reported to the state, only the pass certificates. AVOID SMOG CHECKS at 1490 Ocean Avenue 76 station in San Francisco, CA 94112 unless you like getting ripped off! |
