Had to get my smog check today for my car so I could renew the registration. Big sign at the smog check place: $1.00 surcharge for debit OR credit. subprime merchants don't have a clue. the fee for the smog check was $20. I gave the attendant a choice, here is my cash (a $100 bill) or here is my card but I am not paying the $1. he took the $100!!!!!!! wow. first time EVER a subprime merchant took the subprime cash instead of accepting a credit card properly.
Thank goodness, my county or my city does not require a smog check for my car. There are a couple of counties in my state that does require a smog check.
