On Sherman Way in North Hollywood

On Sherman Way in North Hollywood

Driving down Sherman Way, I glanced at these signs painted on the side of the building. It didn’t register until I saw the different addresses. There has to be a story here. In my head, it’s something as dramatic as the cake shops on Fairfax. I’d be upset to find out if the reality is more banal.

    It’s probably not as cut-throat as it may appear on the surface. Despite the fact that they can inspect any vehicle requiring a smog inspection; as a "Test Only" station, City Smog is legally prohibited from diagnosing and repairing vehicles. On the other hand; as a "Test and Repair Station", Smog City can’t inspect vehicles that were directed to a "Test Only" station, but they could repair vehicles that failed next door at City Smog. Of course, they can’t legally refer customers to each other, but I have a hunch they’re both benefiting from proximity.

    I believe hachronn is correct. They appear to be trying to subvert the law here. I think the goal is to prevent shady repair shops from ‘failing’ vehicles then offering to repair them.
