Test Tips

  • Bring your vehicle to normal operating temperature. A 15 mile drive on the freeway is best.

  • Don't wait in a long line. This may also result in your vehicle failing the test unnecessarily. Lines tend to be shorter in the middle of the month.

  • Once in line, turn off all accessories (air conditioner, lights, wipers, heater, radio, etc.).

  • While in line, DO NOT SHUT OFF YOUR ENGINE. This helps to keep the engine at normal operating temperature.

  • Your vehicle must have a gas cap to take the emission test.  If you have a locking gas cap(s), please make sure you bring your key(s).

  • Do NOT Bring Your Pets.
