I had my repairs made 15 months ago, I contacted the dealership and they mailed it to me, I just received the certificate, but they neglected to fill in the license number, hopefully AAA will accept it.
your word "legally" is the key word, I did a little research when I had to smog my 2 year old truck in 2020, it was two fold, the deleters posting themselves "rolling coal" and also the and the manufactures hanky pankey, with the software. I realize many, most actually, of the people deleting...
Well one big deal is California gives a 5 year new car exemption for gas powered vehicles before first smog check, diesel is at the 2 year old mark, the reason? Morons deleting then rolling coal and bragging about it. Smog on even a 1500 are close to 100 bucks
