Here are a few things you should do when smog testing your vehicle. 

#1. Make sure the vehicle is hot.  Drive it for 15 or 20 minutes, don't just 
drive to the smog shop on the corner and then let it sit for an hour before it 
is tested.  If you can get on the freeway and really jump on it, blow all that 
crap out of the cars system.

#2.  Find a good shop and stick with that shop. 

#3. Get a tune-up first, especially if you have an older car, or any car you 
have doubts about passing. If you can't afford a tune-up buy a set of plugs and 
change them out yourself.  

#4. Go to you local auto parts store and buy a can of stuff guaranteed to 
ensure you pass smog (usually about $8 - $12 ask the sales guy for what works 
best).  You usually have to mix it with a full tank of gas and then run the 
entire tank of gas before bringing the vehicle in for the smog test.
