Emissions testing is a state or local requirement, so you state or local gov’t’s emissions testing agency is where to complain about that. In California that agency is called the _Bureau of Automotive Repair_ I think. Or it might be called the _California Air Resources Bureau;_ i.e. CARB. Wherever you live OP, there’s bound to be equivalent gov’t agencies.
