Why Are Emissions Inspections Important

Our Emissions Inspection Process
At Helping Hand Auto, our emissions inspections are thorough and conducted by certified technicians. We use the latest diagnostic tools to accurately assess your vehicle's emissions levels and identify any issues that may cause your vehicle to not meet state and federal guidelines.
What We Check During an Emissions Inspection
Exhaust System Evaluation
We thoroughly inspect your vehicle's exhaust system to detect any leaks or issues that could affect emission levels.
Emissions Control Systems Checks
Our technicians evaluate the effectiveness of your emissions control systems including catalytic converters and evaporative emissions systems.
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.
Common Reasons for Failing an Emissions Test
Common issues that can cause a vehicle to fail an emissions test include a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, issues with the catalytic converter, or evaporative emission control system defects. Our team at Helping Hand Auto can diagnose and repair these issues promptly.
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.

A great, honest shop that does what they can to have your vehicle looked at asap. They've been great at handling a multitude of issues my mother and I have run into.
Phoenix, AZ
I love this shop. Amber is amazing. They became my mechanic awhile ago and I will not go anywhere else. This is the only shop I send anyone to. It's important I have a mechanic I can trust. My vechile is a 2004 ford with only 88,000 miles. If anything is wrong they address it honestly and affordability. They also have done some body work and it came out amazing especially when they had to match older yellow paint.
