Smog Certification Hell

Hey guys. am in Pasadena and I am having trouble getting my 81 308 GTSI Smog Certified. Did not pass and need to find someone who can tune the car for passing and getting this done. It don't mind traveling anywhere in the LA / Orange County areas. Help.

Gary, Give you a call or email tomorrow.

thanks

 

Did it fail from any equipment missing or just the gas test failure?

 

Even if you had Ferrari make you a brand new 308 gtsi tomorrow, it still wouldn’t pass Ca smog.

Gary is the best!!

 

I spoke to Gary last week about “potentially” shipping my car from another shop for this exact reason.
Stand up guy who gets it and a resource to the community. Him and Phil BOTH.

 

Potentially has just turned into actually. Seven months down too.

Thanks Gary, as discussed I will get my 456M shipped to you from LA (!) as soon as I get the details on what they have tried thus far to close that secondary air monitor. This was never a problem until now.

 

Well, working magic again on Mirek's 456. This morning , after extensive work, the car passed smog ! Any body that has smog problems, I encourage you to get in touch with me to see if I can help

Job well done. I cannot thank the talent at Bobileff enough. This CARB/SMOG thing has been a very long road and headache for many years and it finally ended at Bobileff yesterday. I am somehow amazed you guys flew under my radar for so long here in So-Cal. You guys solved stuff that nobody else could even figure out.

Thank you, I get to keep my car now Gary, it is nothing less than that man.

Man you guys really got into it !
I appreciate you had multiple 456/575/550 cars to cross-reference ON HAND.

 

Quick question, any issues passing inspection in CA with a cracked windshield? My 2014 458 Spider is due for emissions soon, I ordered (and paid for) a new windshield back in August, but am still waiting delivery from the factory. My car passes the OBD scan with no issues, just worried about the 12 inch crack on the passenger side. Ferrari San Diego said it wasn't a problem, just looking for a second opinion to stop from wasting my time at my local emissions place. .

Thanks,

Rob

 

Windshields are not inspected during emissions tests (yet.)
The State is looking for clean enough emissions and a untampered with ecm.

 

Thanks. Fortunately my problem is resolving itself, my windshield finally arrived, taking it in Friday for replacement, emissions, annual service.
