Anyone know how they choose test-only smog
So does anyone know how the DMV decides if you do test-only or any smog shop? Just got my notice today, and I gotta go to test only which sucks cuz I was gonnna have it done at my work, but I don't think it's a gold shield station. I gotta check.

In order to comply with state law, the California Department of Consumer Affairs/Bureau of Automotive Repair (DCA/BAR) directs a portion of the vehicles registered in Enhanced Smog Check Areas to Test-Only stations. Enhanced Areas are those parts of the state with "serious," "severe," or "extreme" ozone pollution problems.

yeah and you qualify for the lucky 2% by having a car that is on a list of cars to be known to to usaually be upgraded and therefore not pass smog, i.e. states thinking fro the test only centers
