Not even close, Just went through a couple of emissions schools. They are starting to hold mechanics accountable for emissions compliance on all vehicles/engines worked on, We are not supposed to work on anything that has any of the emissions systems defeated. They went through and emphasised the potential ramifications of altering or working on any vehicle that has had the smog items rendered inactive. Did you know that you cant move the cats fore or aft of their stock location without getting in trouble. An engine can pass the sniffer but if it has alterations to the factory installed smog equipment you can still get fined heavily. The way the chain of responsibility goes is the owner of the shop, Mechanic performing the work and the owner of the vehicle can be fined up to 25,000 each per vehicle. They are now tracking vehicles through paperwork(aka work orders) that have failed smog checks.
