Default Pre '98 OBDII Smog Test

Had a good experience today with AML Auto at 126 Laird - 416-423-6209. They seem to be among the few that bought the new software do these cars with a sniffer, make appointments, are on time and were very carefull with my "Precious".

I thought all OBDIIs are now getting scanned and all the OBDIs go on the rollers.

I went to Oil Changers in Brampton at Kennedy & Steeles and they were fine, too. They let me drive the car in and sit in the car to do all work they needed. P.S. The little black garage princess passed with flying colours, the boys had eyes as big as saucers for her and one just had to take a pic on his cell phone before we parted company.

'97 and older use sniffer, '98 and newer use the broken obd2 system check test
I'm lucky to have a local car guy/buddy of mine who's at a local Econolube and is very careful whenever doing e-tests for me/anyone, no more dyno to worry about driving onto with lowered cars is a bonus
