I took mine to Crappy Tire last year for her e-test, just because of convenience. The Tech was an older guy and quite interested in the car. He wanted me to pull her into the bay myself and let me stay and help him - which just involved plugging and unplugging the device from the OBD port. If your check engine light isn't on and you haven't just cleared a code - then you should pass an Ontario E-test. Older cars that get the exhaust sniff test might not be so lucky.

Well I did what Frank suggested: discovered a VW dealer in the same town (as CT -not the car), and they assured me their techs know how access the engine etc. I'm going right to Porsche AG's current owner. 50.00 bucks more is worth the peace of mind ... they'll also e-test it too ....
