meaning if you get a ref ticket, you can go to your hook up (local smog shop) and get it written off.

 

i wish i would of knew before i paid $600 for my state ref ticket on tuesday

 

Where's the original post/forum?

 

does any one know if that applies even if you already visited the ref station and failed?

i failed twice and was going to retest sometime next week. can i now just visit any smog station and get it signed off? assuming it does pass this time
