Something does seem fishy to me. Unless you disconnected the battery at the smog station, the computer should have data to go off of with the drive to the station. I wonder if the mechanic or smog station is taking you for a ride. What do they care if they get paid either way and when you return, they'll get paid twice.

I'd go somewhere else, at the very least.


Your car is connected to a networked smog check station controlled by the state here. That computer checks for the readiness codes. Without them it knows you've recently disconnected your battery to clear the codes.

If you went elsewhere their networked smog station would know you'd been elsewhere.
