Emissions Inspection Checklist
Exhaust System Evaluation
We meticulously examine your vehicle's exhaust system for any leaks or faults that could impact emissions.
Emissions Control Systems Checks
We check your vehicle's emissions control mechanisms, such as the catalytic converter and evaporative emissions system, to ensure they are functioning effectively.
Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) Analysis
We perform an OBD test to confirm that your vehicle's computer system is operational and accurately identifying emissions problems.
Common Reasons for Failing an Emissions Test
Vehicles often fail emissions tests due to issues like defective oxygen sensors, catalytic converter problems, or faults in the evaporative emission control system. At Alpha Center, we specialize in diagnosing and fixing these problems efficiently.
How to Prepare for Your Emissions Inspection
To ready your vehicle for an emissions test, ensure it is well-maintained and the check engine light is off. Driving for about 30 minutes prior to the test can warm the engine to the optimal temperature, potentially enhancing the outcome.

They were very quick and nice! I went to get my inspection done and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. It was also under $20 to get my inspection done which is awesome. Will definitely come back.
