    They did in my Testarossa too but pretty far. Might ask Redwood City.

    I use the Valero station at Whipple and 101 in Redwood City. Cheap and quick. He just attaches a pod to the eport and the engine measures itself.

    I’ve always used Roselli in San Jose. He works with a local shop that knows how to test the cars. My last quote from F of SilVal was crazy expensive.

    I've had good luck w MIddlefield SMOG. Not scared of Ferrari's but pretty respectful. Will listen to requests on how to close / open doors etc as opposed to demanding you move to the waiting room to sweat on what they're doing with your pride&joy.

    Thanks guys! I used Roselli for my testarossa in the past but I wanted a quick in and out space so I will try the station in Redwood City.

    Keep in mind that a smog test for a newer car is just plugging in the smog code reader and confirming that the car has no emission faults. Any smog shop can to that. It's unlike that for older cars (my car!) where the smog shops have to run the car on a treadmill / dyno and measure the tailpipe emissions.

    I took my 458 to David at Auto Mall Smog 43026 Christy St Fremont 510-490-7664. Quick service, and easy driveways. :)

    I've been taking all my cars, including my 2010 California GT and 2000 Honda S2000 to Telegraph Star Smog at Telegraph Ave and Claremont Ave in Oakland. It's a bit of a dive smog shop, and on the expensive side, but the two people who've handled my cars the last few years have been friendly, knowledgeable, and careful. It's near my house and there is virtually never a wait - so works for me.

    I like 7 Days a Week Smog on San Pablo in Berkeley. They are fast, inexpensive, clean and do a great job on my 98 550. (The last time I went there, the next customer behind me was driving a Ford GT)
