Forum > Failed Smog Test > Question

1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass failed at test only center.

On a test only smog check, can a smog station fail you on the first smog test and with no repairs, pass your vehicle on the second test, all with in a half hour. By the way, I was not allow to take it to the smog repair station. It was taken by one of his friends from another shop and it passed on the second time for more money. I have records of repair.
Answer:

Some sort of repair must have been made to your Oldsmobile in order for it to pass the second test. We'd recommend looking over your repair invoice to find out exactly what was done. posted by SmogTips Support
