Default Mod friendly SMOG place in N San Jose??

I need to get my 03' SMOG'd and the place i went to said.."you don't even pass visual inspection!" because you have "this" (JWT pop charger + shining Z tube) He did add he would inspect it for $120 CASH....wink wink!

Any advice how to get my car pass inspection?

thanks!

I know there is a place only cost you 50-60 bucks here in Santa Clara. It's located on Washington and Newhall. It's on the vallero gas station.

Thanks for everyone's help! I got my cert and off to more mods! hahha

just to vent a lil bit. After i got the E.O. sticker and went back to the first shopr, the dude was being a total a-hole and insisted on a E.O sticker for the "shining" z tube.. and had the nerve to tell me my E.O. sticker for JWT looked just like a "sticker"... WTF! such a "richard"

i went to the Vallejo station but their smog machine was down. the guy was very kool and sent me to his uncle's garage down the road on el camino and lafayete? No question asked, got my cert for $35, no coupon, no hassle!

If you need the exact name of the shop, PM me!!

If you still have the sticker and looking to give it away, I'll gladly take it.
I can send you a self-addressed stamped envelope... I have a JWT POPCHARGER with no sticker..

Thanks in advance..
