text: The crazy State of Arizona has this stupid rule that you have to get a smog check from one of their ADEQ centers Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Well I took one of my cars there to go through the testsit failed because the Service Engine light was onwhat Why What does that have to do with anything nnOk so I go to a mechanic and he fixes it and resets the light days later I go back to the ADEQ center and it fails again Why Because they said that the computer in the car is not readywhat What is that To get an answer I have to park my car and go inside an officeout comes a manager and he says that the computer in my car is not reset and ready and so I have to wait until it is before I come back nnPerplexed I askedhow will I know when it is readynnHe saysI do not know ask the mechanicnnI saywait I have to go back and ask him when it is readynnHe sayswell that is the only way you will know for sure The other option is that you drive around for a few days and hope that the cars computer is ready and then bring it back in for a test However if it fails again you will have to take it to a location in downtown Phoenix and have a mechanic check it outit is not convenient or cheapnnI leave extremely frustrated and angry Smog Checks are a scamnnReturn Factor Unfortunately I am forced to do this every time my car registration is due
