The process is straight forward, however, the 'fees' are ever changing. I ran a Corvette repair business out there during the early 90s. My partner and I were going to open a smog inspection station with the idea to 'certify' exhaust systems as being CARB compliant. Upon further research, the 'fees' got to be difficult. We had to put down $10k to start, then there was a 'fee' of $1000 per month, then after we submitted paperwork, it was rejected 4 times before we found out that we hadn't paid the county clerk their 'fee' to process the paperwork...
That 'fee' wasn't listed anywhere, we had to go talk to the clerk to find out that $$$ amount. Needless to say, we dropped the idea of a smog station pretty quick.
