Emission Service FAQs

What does an emission test check?

An emission test checks how much pollution your vehicle produces and whether the emission control systems are working correctly. It often includes a scan of the on-board computer for codes and readiness monitors, as well as a tailpipe test, fuel cap check, or visual inspection of key components.
Why did my vehicle fail an emission test?

Common reasons include a check engine light that is on, stored trouble codes, incomplete readiness monitors, failed oxygen sensors, EVAP leaks, or problems with the catalytic converter. Our mechanics can read the codes, test related components, and explain exactly what is causing the failure.
Can you repair my vehicle so it passes emissions?

We can diagnose and repair the underlying problems that caused your vehicle to fail its test, then help you understand when it is ready for a retest. We cannot bypass or disable emission systems, but we can restore them so your vehicle operates as it was designed to.
How can I prepare my car before an emission test?

Make sure there are no active warning lights, follow regular maintenance, and try to drive your vehicle at highway speeds for a period of time before the test so the engine reaches full operating temperature. If you have recently cleared codes or disconnected the battery, your readiness monitors may not be set. It can help to drive for several days first.
Does your warranty cover emission repairs?

Most emission-related repairs we perform are backed by our 24 month, 24,000 mile warranty, so you can feel confident in the work. Some parts or services may have different coverage, and we will review this with you before you approve the repair.
