    Hi,

    Just got my 85 Mondial, Ca Car, and my guys at my dealership cant smog it because we dont have the gas cap fitting to do the fuel emissions test. Plus the book says to look for a smog pump, that I have told them it has a different system on it.

    Anyone recomend a place in Orange County, prefferably South OC to get this baby smogged? Would rather take it to a independent Ferrari service shop.

    Thanks

    I smoged a 89 Mondial t & a 355B at the smog station off Marguiette & Crown Valley right accross the street from the Home Depo (its actually off a side street...look for the Home Depo) If you are coming off Avery its on the right just past the emterance to Saddleback Collage / if turning right on Marguiette off Crown Valley its the first left at the light.

    No problem with these guys at all...

    I was going to ask the same question as this is my first Ferrari and I have never needed to smog check a car in California. I am going to check this place out.

    If anyone else can put the place that they use in Orange County I would appreciate it. Thanks!

    I just smogged my 550 at HB Smog in Huntington Beach...

    17281 Beach Blvd #B ( In the back)


    Huntington Beach


    714.698.0208

    Tiny little place... kind of cruddy looking. Equipment is in the ground, so no problem with F cars.

    So how does one get a smog test from a car that just come into California? I am told that before I can get my car registered and get licenses, I need to get it smogged. But then I need a license to drive my car to get it smogged.

    My friend always take his cars to the corner of Fairhaven and Grand in Santa Ana. I have taken mine there and passed both times. Tell them Larry sent you.

    Thanks, Steve. I called Sam today and he said $74 to smog a Ferrari. I like that I can get to his place by not using the freeway. My Ferrari is being delivered later today, so I will check him out tomorrow :D

    Went there today. Nice guy. It was comforting to see another Ferrari there. A 456 was also pulling in when I left.

    FYI, it was 2004 that he was looking for a place. Although he may need another one by now. ;)
