Re: Missouri Viper owners: Need advice on Inspections
The whole emissions testing concept is a farce to begin with. I've got a very bad story to tell about the one down in the Chesterfield Valley. You would have thought the kid had it on a dyno test rather than the damn Gateway Clean Air Program emission test. I complained to the manager and then to the B.B.B. I'm never one to complain as I work retail, but they really ticked me off. If the manager there had been nice and apologized for the kids treatment of my car I would have been satisfied. Instead, he acted like they treat all cars this way and went on to say they get much nicer cars like Ferrari's and Lambo's in here. I now go to the one on Manchester for emissions even thought it's twice as far for me to drive.
There are several good Viper techs in the area. The best IMO, especially if you want more than just an oil change, is Joe Donovan at King Dodge. He not only is a tech, but also DRIVES a 10 second Viper himself. Not sure what part of town your in, but I've also used Barry Hawn at Zeiser in St. Peters when I had my '93 and Royal Gate in Ellisville.
Good luck on the car and hope meet you at an event sometime. We have an awesome and active club here in town. Last cruise event we had 17 cars! SWEET!
