Emissions Testingin Philadelphia
Know before you go: we check what an emissions test checks, and fix what would fail it.
About this repair
Inspection and emissions rules depend on the vehicle and where it is registered, so we promise no result here. What we can do is run the checks that matter, read the codes and the readiness monitors, and fix the faults that cause a failure: a misfire, a failing sensor, a leak or a clogged catalytic converter.
Signs you need it
- The check engine light is on
- A previous test was failed
- Rough idle or poor fuel economy
- A fuel smell or visible smoke from the exhaust
Common questions
Will the check engine light make me fail?
In many places an active check engine light is a reason to fail an inspection, so it is worth diagnosing first.
What if my vehicle already failed?
Bring the report. We find what caused the failure and repair it.
Bigger problem?
We also handle the heavy jobs
If the inspection finds something deeper, engine, transmission and drivetrain work is what we do best.
