The check valves are the things where the rubber hoses in the AIR system join the metal ones. They rarely go bad.
No idea about exhaust seals. Maybe they're inside the muffler bearings?
Sounds to me like this guy gets paid by the number of times he makes you come back. I'd take it somewhere else to get it smogged.
