My hybrid car wouldn't pass the smog test due to an issue reading the oxygen sensor. Orinda Motors spent a lot of time figuring out my problem. They concluded it was a software problem and got the patch for my car. Throughout this process, Toyota insisted there wasn't a software problem with the car and provided no support to Orinda Motors. Luckily Orinda Motors found the solution independently and my car was "fixed" and passed inspection. Today in the mail I received a recall notice from Toyota on exactly this problem. As Orinda Motors had figured out, it needed a software patch and Toyota is going to reimburse me for this work.Kudos to Orinda Motors for figuring this out. My registration would have expired without their hard work.
We are so happy that you were able to pass your smog test with flying colors, Ruth. We look forward to seeing you again whenever you need us. :-)
