Make sure they calibrate it in front of you so you know it's working. The one i used had a 30% and 70% calibration glass. Good Luck

Im suprised that California with their strict emissions standards doesnt have an inspection program. Most states are modeling their emissions limits that they test for after Californias.

...but FREE.
Florida doesn't have vehicle inspections either.
We used to. But they haven't made vehicles without emissions systems for about 30 years now.
How often do you see a smokey clunker these days? It wasn't worth the cost and the bother.
So, someone suggested they do away with the whole inspection apparatus and just issue grenade launchers to the cops.
The legislature bought half of the argument.

They shove a wand up your exhaust, load down your engine and test at a low speed and a high speed.
If you pass, you have two years before you have to do it again
If you fail, you are considered a gross polluter and from then on you have to go to a test only station every year
Years ago Calif had roadside inspections, but the state was sued several times because the inspectors didn't know what the heck they were doing....
