Questions and answers
My vehicle failed its emissions test. Can you help?
Yes. We diagnose and repair the cause of a failed emissions test so your vehicle is ready for retest. Bring your test report, and when the repair is done you retest through the Illinois Air Team program (illinoisairteam.net) or the Wisconsin program.
Why did my car fail with no check engine light?
The test also checks that your readiness monitors are complete. After a battery replacement or cleared codes, the monitors need a period of normal driving to reset. We can check whether your monitors are ready before you go back.
What should I bring?
Bring your test report if you have it. It shows why the vehicle failed and saves diagnostic time.
