Can someone recommend a smog only station that would be NSX friendly? I'd prefer somewhere in the Fremont or San Jose area.
Thanks.

Thanks.

I go to a good one in Belmont. Probably out of your range...
I don't recall the name, but it's on Old County Road, about a quarter mile south of the Belmont CalTrain station.
$50 is no bad for test only stations. I have seen $80 test only stations. $49.99 was the cheapest I paid with a coupon.
I didn't know that. I was used to $30 smog checks that I always had before. Even though I don't need test only most of the time, I always go to EZ Smog, because it's 5 minutes away from my office, and he can get me out of there within 20-30 minutes after me showing up at his door unannounced. Most other places I've been to require an appointment, or make you wait a long time.

I know this place that is NSX friendly, the owner owns an NSX.
See link below:

NA Motors
132 98th Ave.
Oakland, CA 94603
(510) 635-9191
The proprietor is none other than Spartan2-3 aka Romeo. Tell him Mike sent ya!!!
In fact if you know the secret hand shake or if you have a Green Lantern decoder ring, he'll definitely give you the hook-up :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
Mike
Thanks for all the good responses and recommendations.
I'll probably try and get to EZ-smog later this week since it's just down the street from me. If it were just a regular test I would have gone to GreenSlip, but they no longer have the 'test only' status.
I'll have to hit up Romeo sometime just for the irony of having a supercharged vehicle serviced at 'NA Motors'. :biggrin: I think the only secret hand shake that would work for 50% off would be to slip him an Ebbro 1/43 scale NSX collectible. :wink:

I just finished my smog and passed!!!!:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
I think I dodged a bullet since my car wasn't that warm. I'm less than 5mins away from EZ-Smog so I didn't really get a chance to warm up the car that much. :redface:
Here is the run down in case you are interested:

So what is up with the High Emitter Profile?
