Why Emissions Inspections Are Essential

Emissions Inspection Basics
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 Desert Sun Automotive can diagnose and repair these issues promptly.
Emissions Control Systems Checks
Our technicians evaluate the effectiveness of your emissions control systems including catalytic converters and evaporative emissions systems.
Exhaust System Evaluation
We thoroughly inspect your vehicle's exhaust system to detect any leaks or issues that could affect emission levels.
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.
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.

From out of town, everyone else was backed up for several days to several weeks. Dennis said he could fit me in if I could bring it over in the next hour. He got me all fixed up in one day, enabling me to head back home on schedule. An honest guy and a bona fide helpful person!
