1. "I'm at the car shop waiting for them to do a smog check."
2. "I'm at the car shop waiting while they do a smog check."
And I'm unclear whether "mientras" should be used with a subjunctive verb or a regular present-tense verb:
1. "Estoy en el taller esperando que hagan la revisión de emisiones contaminantes para el carro."
2. "Estoy en el taller esperando mientras hagan la revisión de emisiones contaminantes para el carro."
Are both correct? And what would be the idiomatic way of saying the same thing?
