Does anyone know of anyone or a place that will let me pass a smog test if I pay for extras ？ ？
I am having a very difficult time because my friend bought me a car that is a hassle. I was told that it needs to be repaired to pass the smog test and that it will cost $ about 6000 to repair. I just bought the car and I am a student and I don't have that kind of money right now. So I am stuck in a situation where I can't register my car and I can't get it repaired. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some information.

I don't know much about it, but I'm writing this: 。。。。 My car is a Toyota Prius.
The reason why the smog check did not pass was that there was a problem with the catalytic-converter.

It seems that catalytic-converters can be sold for a very high price for the parts used in them, and that's why the theft of those parts has increased recently. He said that a while ago it was thefts from trucks and such, but recently Prius thefts have been increasing. If the smog check does not pass and the muffler has a stock catalytic-converter, the muffler will be repaired for $300. If it has a non-genuine one, someone said they would repair it for $650. I had been quoted $2 ～ 3,000 at several places because only genuine parts would work. 。。。。

The person works as a mechanic during the week and takes on private repairs at home on the weekends.
He said he would refund my money if the smog check didn't pass and he would issue a receipt
so I trusted him and asked him to do it.
They also issued a receipt. It is still running smoothly.

Please DM me if you need it. I will give you my contact information.
I have received a personal cell phone number, so I probably shouldn't post it here: 。。。。

I don't know much about cars, so sorry if the content is wrong.

catalytic-converter cannot be repaired. Replacement only
You just replaced the sensor.
