It depends. IN CALIFORNIA.

If you are ever classified as a "gross polluter" you are flagged and will be smogged each year there after.

Usually it is every 2 years if your car is older than 6 years and if the car is new every 3 years.

Should be every other year. Unless the car is new in which they have 4 years I think, as my 00 VW hasnt came up for smog yet.

....prices are probably going up because of the "dyno" they have to use now to smog cars , shops are still trying to pay them off

They will do your alignment but won't adjust your camber kit because they say it's too much work. I've tried. The place is called Tung's Auto Repair off of Senter Rd in San Jose. It's near Tully and Senter. The cross street is Parrott Ave..

Tech 3 will do your alignment for $60 + $15/side for camber adjustment so a total of $90
