Default EMISSIONs question

Does anyone know where there is an Emissions station for AWD vehicles in the NOVA area. i want to avoid the car dealerships.


if the car is OBDII does it even need the AWD dyno.

Should be an idle sniffer test also. it wont be a loaded IM240 test that all other cars are taking, but it is enough to give a baseline.

and if it hasnt completed its monitors, it wont pass. ie, if you are getting a CEL, it wont pass if you disconnect the battery or clear the codes and then go in.

Do you drive an evo and have mods you dont want the dealership to see?

But since your car is OBD-II you dont have to put it up on a roller/dyno.
