Emission Testing : Avoid a Long Wait

Below are tips to avoid heavy wait times for your annual emissions test:

• Avoid high traffic times such as before work, after work, or during your lunch hour, if possible.
• Avoid the first few days and last few days of the month, Mondays, and the day before or after any holiday.
• Stick to the middle - the middle of the month, middle of the week, mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
• Avoid congested, high traffic areas during peak rush hour.
• Contact your nearby testing station and ask for its recommendation on bringing your vehicle in.
• Your station of choice may take appointments. Call and ask.
• Seek referrals from friends and relatives who can advise on stations with quick service and minimal wait times.
• Do not wait until the last minute. This limits your options.
• Plan ahead. Addresses and phone numbers for all inspection stations can be found by clicking here.
