Well I hope not to burst your bubble but....

That $500 is only good at a "Gold Shield Station" and they will want to perform diagnostic's

Guess how much the diag's going cost? If it is like around my area it is going to be 3 bill's+.

Then you will have 2 for parts, and you will have to pay for the rest of it!

Hopefully it is only the 02 sensor.

GL.

PS: This is called the consumer's assistance program (CAP). If you are "Test Only Directed" you are pre qualified for this too. But there are alway's exemptions, like Ferrari's and such!

it cost me a lil over a hundred to diagnos and i paid for that before i new about the program so all the money goes to fixin the probs but either way its 5bills towards gettin your car smogged rather its actually fixing the problem or paying for the redic diagnostic charges they have
