The Prank That Backfired (Literally)

Smog Check Fails That’ll Fool You
Over the years, we’ve seen some real doozies roll into Joe’s Smog. Here are our top April Fools’ worthy smog fails that’ll have you chuckling (and checking your own ride):
The Duct Tape Disaster
One customer thought they could “fix” a broken air intake with a roll of duct tape. Spoiler alert: Smog machines don’t appreciate DIY comedy. That car coughed up more fumes than a stand-up comic bombing on stage.
The Potato Plug
Someone actually stuffed a potato in their tailpipe as an April Fools’ prank. They forgot to take it out before their test. Let’s just say the smog techs were spud-tacularly confused!
The “It’s Fine” Fib
“My check engine light’s been on for months, but it’s probably nothing!” Famous last words. That “nothing” turned out to be a catalytic converter playing hide-and-seek with clean air.
The Air Freshener Alibi
One genius hung a pine scented air freshener under the hood to “mask” the bad emissions. Newsflash: Smog machines don’t care if your car smells like a forest, they’re not here for aromatherapy!
