Default dumb quest. how often do we do smog test?

i cant think of it right now .. but the smog test thing. emissions?

how often does WA require it? for a 2004 car?

do they also do the smog test? or just ecu and gas cap?

thanks!

Every other year.

Odd year cars take their tests on odd years and even year cars on even years.
They do the whole she-bang test.

You don't need the testing for the first 5 years of the car...after that it's every other year. Dmv will notify you when your tabs are due whether or not you need the test.

Smog is EASY in WA. Had my car with all the mods, went to the test center in Redmond and less than 5 minutes later I was all good for the next 2 years
