Default idiot emmisons guy

just wanted to tell a quick story. I go into jiffylube just to have my emissions test so i can renew my registration. after waiting for 15 min. the guy told me i failed emissions bc i need 2 cat. converters on my car. i told him that i only needed one and the v6 a4 had 2 cats. he told me to call a number to dispute it and so i just called them while chilling in there parking lot and they told me i was right and should only have one cat, they told me to have the guy call them. so he calls and verifys the info and passes my emissions. what a dumbass, he said his book said i needed 2, but ill bet the book said i needed 2 02 sensors or something...

Anyway, moral of the story is don't take your car to jiffylube to have idiots try to pass your emissions.
