Emissions Inspection Basics
Common Reasons for Failing an Emissions Test

How to Prepare for Your Emissions Inspection
To prepare for your emissions inspection, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and that the check engine light is off. Driving the vehicle for about 30 minutes before the inspection can help warm up the engine to its normal operating temperature, which can improve test results.
Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) Analysis
An OBD test is performed to ensure that the onboard computer system of the vehicle is functioning correctly and detecting any emissions-related issues.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Inspections and Emissions, near Pasadena, CA
My 2015 Nissan Rogue was due for its Smog Check. My check engine light was on when I brought it in. I had the light checked at auto supply store and they said that the oxygen sensor was bad. Arthur looked at the printout paperwork and said that that may not be the problem. He popped the hood and he found the problem within less than a minute. One of the hoses was not connected to the engine. After another diagnostic check found that there may another issue but suggest that I drive a few miles to reset the emissions computer. After I drove the recommended miles I had the car smog check and it passed. I've brought in a number of cars we've had to Arthur. He is very honest, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend anyone to bring their vehicle to this establishment. Definitely 5 stars.
