Today I took one of the vehicles in for its 2-year smog/emission test. I noticed once it was in the bay, it wasn't long and it was out. I sat in the lobby area so didn't watch.
Then the fella came in to finish the required paperwork and take my cash. Since it was so fast (thinking a problem and abort the test) I asked how it went, and he said everything is fine. So I paid and off I went.
Home - notice the test was pretty much visuals. No actual readings (HCs etc.) running it on the roller at two different speeds with a sniffer up the rear.
What gives/changed? For years all my vehicles were ran on the rollers with a sniffer, so something has changed.
