** The condition of your car before testing will affect the testing result, and I assume most Emission test centers bought the same model of test machines.
Conditions mean:
1. Whether your car is cold or not
2. Your car was not used for three or four days
3. You have change engine oil
4. New spark plugs (complete combustion, especially hydrocarbon percentage in exhaust gas)
5. Quality of gas you fill into your gas tank (When I came to Canada many years ago, people told me Sunoco has the best quality of gas, and now Sunoco and Petro Canada merged....), that leaves residue in the engine (like the best crude is from Malaysia and Middle East, crude oil from China has very high percentage of Sulphur and impurities)

When the above are optimized, then, it comes to Catalytic converter (whether the platinum catalyst was covered with carbon soots etc and failed to perform, or because temperature is high, amount of platinum has reduced to the extent that it can no longer convert all CO an NO to acceptable levels)

要做废气检查,大家说上哪比较好?
I think the difference is whether the workers there allow your car to reach a TEST condition, that makes the difference. If your car was not optimized for testing (things I recommended above), then, ....
Of course, as I have said before, if the test center has a garage next door, or the owner of garage also owns the test center, isn't it there is something called "Conflict of interest" ? That is a GREY area. Of course, there is an option called conditional pass which any certified mechanic can charge the maximum allowable repairs and grant you that condition. The key word seems to be "INTEREST" of some party.

By the way, GOOD luck
 
thank you and more question

Thank you for the information. If I change the CATALYTIC Converter, can I save some gas? Thx.

Change CATALYTIC Converter.

(Parts + Labour) approximately 200 -250
** Find a honest garage (NOT Canandian Tire which is expensive....)

After market parts are good for three years, but much cheaper.

Good luck
 
I got QQH several time, instead of reply to all QQH, what about I just have the information here:
that is the garage I mentioned:

Doug's Auto Repair
108-6 Bexley Place
613-820-4810

you don't need to mention my name at all because the owner doesn't really know me.

hope this can help.

Thank you for the information. If I change the CATALYTIC Converter, can I save some gas? Thx.
Catalytic converter converts combusted (exhaust) gas to harmless gas (like water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide). I don't think it helps to save gas.
My suggestion to save gas:
1. If drive on highway,
- if possible, use cruise control.
- Car built for Canada are optimized to run at 100 km per hour. Any
10 km above 100 means 8 - 10 per more gas. I.e. if you drive at
130 km per hour, you have to use 25 to 35 % more gas
2. Change spark plug if needed. Use good quality spark plug which
ensures complete combustion of gas, this means more power
generated from the same amount of gas (like luminous flame vs
non-luminous flame).
3. Good driving habit - avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
