Berkeley Lake Emissions — Local services in Berkeley Lake

I think I've been everywhere in Duluth by now. While this place costs more, it's the only testing facility that works for Audi's OBD technology. My 1998 Japanese car works everywhere, but I guess because my newer Audi has a K-line in the OBD port it needs well running or maybe the newest equipment. Not sure what makes it different, but what I am sure about is all the other emissions places around here tell me, EACH AND EVERY YEAR, "your OBD port is broken" or "your car's not ready." This year I was told, "you need to get the port "tightened-up" across the street at NAPA..." which isn't even a real thing you or NAPA can do. They just lie and push the blame on your car, when the truth is all these other places equipment is junk. It's old and/or worn-out. However, even after someone else blamed my Audi, I went to Berkeley Lake Emissions where their equipment worked instantly, with no problems, and no accusations that something was my car's fault. The owner was also very nice and funny. See...

Wasn’t thrilled about paying $25 when almost everywhere else is $17-$20 but needed it done. Sign says wait for attendee…well I waited and waited and waited. Nobody came out and so I left. Not sure what the plan is and you would think if they were gonna charge 40% more than everyone else the service would be top notch not non existent. I even did two slow laps around the building before leaving to see if someone would come out. Guessing they didn’t need the business. I called before going and the person on the phone verified they were open and seemed nice enough. I’ll never waste...

OMG!!!! Somchay was Heaven Sent!! He followed all of the New Steps and Guidelines that Ford has Put out for the 2020 Ford Escapes and Newer Model Fords for Emission. I went to another place earlier and they said I didn't pass, due to new guidelines, but never went through the proper steps. I will from now on see Somchay at Berkeley Lake Emissions because he stays up to par with all new Processes and Guidelines for Vehicles going through Emissions....
