Default Smog Check - (South Bay, Westside, Long Beach)

I will need a smog check within the next 30 days so let me know if you
guys know of a place in the South Bay, Westside, or the LBC areas that you've had a good experience with.

I'm not worried about passing the test, that shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks!!

Wais

3/23 Update

I drove around and looked at several shops in the area and all had some pretty hairy setups with 45 degree test machines.
My setup is too low to make it up the machines so I settled with Cars Automotive in Redondo Beach and their in-floor test setup.



Their info is the following:

Cars Muffler and Automotive
617 Artesia Boulevard
Redondo Beach, CA 90278
310-371-7055 (Ask for Jim)
http://www.carsmufflerandautomotivecenter.com/

Also just an FYI: I passed both the visual and the dyno test with the following mods: Nismo CAI, Motordyne 5/16th Spacer, and Greddy Evo2 exhaust.

Totally, I don't see that being a problem at all if you raise it up a little.
