Review: On 4 Aug 2014 I took my Toyota truck to Ojai Gas Inc, for it's biennial smog check for Calif DMV. When I returned, I was told that the truck had failed the smog tests. The tech said the ignition timing was way off. He said it was 25 deg BTDC. He claimed he verified the numbers with a " timing light " He then quoted me prices to fix the problem. $ 160 dollars for a diagnostic check. Approx $ 600 dollars for other repairs. I began to get suspicious when he started this up-sell routine. I told him I did not think the engine could run at 25 deg advance timing. The truck was running fine.I told him I would get back to him regarding the repairs. I took the truck over to a friends house who lives nearby. He is a Toyota factory certified mechanic. He has a timing light. I asked him to show me the extreme advanced timing. He said that it cannot be done on that engine. The ignition timing is controlled internally in the computer system. He said it is impossible to attach a timing light to measure ignition advance. He then called another mechanic at Ventura Toyota dealership. That mechanic verified the statement. The mechanic suggested I take the truck to another smog testing station for a 2nd opinion, which I did. The truck passed the smog check at the second station.On the way home I stopped by Ojai Gas and informed them what I had done. I told them I thing their smog test was invalid, using fictitious numbers and equipment. I asked for a refund of my money...$ 59.75 dollars. They refused to refund the moneyDesired Settlement: Refund of my $ 59.75 dollars due to an invalid and fictitious smog check certification.
