OK, I looked up the ones I have been to personally. Smog Master and Speedy Smog, both Test Only centers on El Camino Real, near Santa Clara University. The websites are http://www.smogmaster.net and http://www.yellowpages.com/info-LMS5...Smog-Test-Only.
I took the RX-8 to Smog Master, which was a bit of wait due to only one technician working on multiple bays. Other than that, it was fairly smooth. I also tried Speedy Smog on a different car, just OBD II. It was fast and a bit cheaper. Smog is not exactly rocket science, so I'm surprised to hear of your lousy experience. It's RWD and CAN-bus compliant should be all the technician needs to know.
Once again, very sorry!

Both of my grandparents were rocket scientists. They both worked for Rocketdyne before it got bought out by Boeing I think.
I guess technically our cars would be 2 cylinders.
Rob don't forget my pipe! I'll stop by a few of my hoes and collect some scrib to pay ya.
Also Leo I'm bringing my a socket set and a screwdriver so we should be good.
See you guys tonight!

Rotorfest was sweet. I was following Throwdown on the highway for a while on the way home and his car sounded awesome. It is LOUD too, even a little gas and you could hear his car over everyone else.
