I spent $700 ($190 to "diagnose" and the balance in suggested replacement of 02 sensors in front of cat converters. I failed test again. My income isn't low enough to qualify CAP. what should i do? spend more on repairs? thanks is there a waiver for owners like myself
Answer:

Unfortunately there is no waiver if you are not low income. Your only solution here is to continue making repairs until your Lexus passes the smog check. You might want to make sure your only dealing with an experienced smog check repair station. posted by SmogTips Support
