Have been going around looking at the places that provide the smog check. Took a trip today. Went towards Sibulan, up through Bagacay to Valencia and down the Valencia/Bacong road and back into town. We have a total of 3 sites available and they are packed. One place even schedules times, if you are willing to wait 3 days to get in line. Motorcycles are taking up a huge portion, maybe because of the checkpoints, they now have to finally register. Wait till the fine for previous years comes due, that should be good. So, now what used to take me about 30 minutes from home to back home, will end up taking hours. Wife said she will go to a place she visited today who told her to come in about 6am tomorrow. Bless her little heart, she knows how patient I get waiting in these lines. We will see how it goes, I don't expect her home till 8 or 9am, and I am being optimistic. But still a Happy Camper. I told her I would take a drive out toward Bias and maybe find an out of the way station that wasn't as busy. She said no, she would take care of it.
I didn't know they did that here. Thanks for the information. And...you are indeed lucky to have such a kind wife.
Just stand inline and eventually you will be done......complete waste of time IMHO as the vehicles you see or try to see on the roads often are hidden in a smoke screen. Can't understand why the Smoke test is not combined with 'other safety type checks' as the Hiway gets straightened out speeds are increasing and 4sure more serious accidents will occur. By the way the smoke test place just up from Port on LH side is OK. they will process the papers 4U takes about 1 week.
Where exactly is the Smoke Test place? Come out of the port and turn North or South? Do you have a name for the Smoke Test Company?
The late Senator Miriam Santiago had a similar concern. She said that in all of the time that this 'smog check' has been going on not one, none, vehicle has ever failed the test.
Come out the Port and head north. First one is just past the first turn to the left through the Chinese Gate on the right. If you went straight along Rizal towards Lantaw there is another one tucked away on the left side. The other one is High Point, intersection of National Highway and Aldecoa. Again, travelling north it is on the left, turning right would take you to Silliman Medical.
If anyone need name of a guy who will sort it and there will be no wait pm me on here,always used him.
here's a map of the duma area emissions test shops. P and L Clean Air Vehicle Emission Testing Center across from cang's is no longer there. also, the map doesn't show the place just north of the port area. https://tinyurl.com/yccweved
Up from the port, that road is known as the Bypass. Testing place is on the right, coming from direction of the port.
