I hate to break it to you, but I can get my vehicle tested with the top equipment there is, that costs easily that much altogether, by paying a one time fee of about $700 dollars for seven years. It’s called a maintenance contract.

I’m not sure you have smog tests in your state, but the equipment costs about $40,000 dollars from what I hear, and I pay something like $37.50 for the test.

The padding done in your estimate is extensive. No thanks. It doesn’t take that much effort.

Test the vehicle with the device. Test the vehicle without the device. Is there a difference or not?

I am a test engineer by profession and title. I will stick with my estimates. You are totally off since you have no idea what it takes to test a unique system that must be setup to specific test conditions and verified that no hanky-panky has been installed that may fake test results.

Yes, the measure the same thing over and over and over everyday of the year, year after year. I also doubt your 'hearsay' cost for the equipment.

OK. Please tell me how you would set up to test his claims and provide an estimate.
