EZ Smog my ass!

I had to get the car I had just bought smogged for registration.  I took it in on 9/7 and it brought up two codes.  Codes are bad, it means my car failed smog.  So I took it to a mechanic to have it fixed.  It got out of the shop on 9/22.  The mechanic recommended driving my car a few 100 miles to reset all settings and to get air/smog running through all the new parts.  So I drove to Bakersfield for the weekend to visit my grandparents & put 400 miles on the car.  So now I was ready to have my car retested.  The place says it closes at 6:00 PM.  So I got there at 5:50 PM on Monday, they were closed.  So I get there at 5:45 on Tuesday, closed.  So I try again on Wednesday and get there at 5:40…closed yet again.  There is no notice anywhere that they would be closing early, and I even called on Wednesday to ask when they would close…6:00 was the reply.  I have had to leave work early all of those days in order to try and get to the smog place before closing.

So I called and left a message on Wednesday about them closing early, and the message machine said they close at 7:00 PM!

I am a little upset.  I guess I will try again tonight.
