There's no short solution to your 1995 Chevy S10's Gross Polluter smog check
failure. You must have a certified smog repair station take a look at your
Chevy S10. You should give them the failed report, but I'm sure they will
want to run their own tests also. Either way they will charge a diagnostic
fee to figure out what the problem is. This is normal. I would just ask the
station owner if he/she will guarantee the repairs. In other words, if they
say the car needs a CAT, and you let them replace it, will they guarantee
your car will pass? So just ask these questions and if the answers make
sense then go for it. Sometimes it is possible not to be able to promise a
passing car. Sometimes the problems a vehicle has are just to many and by
replacing one component there is no guarantee to pass.
