Default Smog Shop Recommendation

Hey guys, it's our first time to need a smog shop since we moved here in South Bay Los Angeles. Any one from here got a recommendation that's lowered friendly? Our SC passes (last time we smogged it) and is stock. Can stretch as far as OC. Thanks in advance!!!

This is the guy that I use for all my cars now. He has an in ground dyno, so loading your SC shouldn't be an issue. Their parking lot entrances aren't bad, but they tend to double park, so it can get really cramped in there at times.

That's surprising. His machine should have been able to handle a lowered car with no problems.

There are 3 or 4 smog shops on the same street with practically the same name. Hopefully you went to the right one or found a place to take care of you.

I went to the exact one pictured in the Yelp. I've never had a problem with getting smoked done before, and it was even lower back in SD, actually raised it a bit for LA driving. I think dude was just scared.

I go here, drive on in-ground rollers. OBD2 is just a 10min plug-in test.
