Their reputation is well deserved. Thank you, Pascal, Matt and everyone who worked on my car. I have been a customer for a couple of years now, but you guys really went above and beyond yesterday. Very grateful.

Top notch customer service. They walked me through what must happen and what could wait. Even dropped my car off for me! I’ve never experienced such excellent service from start to finish.

What are Emissions?
We all live and breathe the same air, which makes emissions all of our concern. Emissions are dangerous fumes and pollutants that are made when your vehicle is running. Using an array of sensors, computerized engine controls, and exhaust components, the emissions system greatly reduces the amount of carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) put out by your vehicle. By law, your emissions system must be kept in optimal operating condition.

How to Make Sure Your Honda Will Pass Emissions
- Your gas tank should be at least half full. Try and fill your tank with fresh fuel before the test.
- Dirty and/or deteriorated oil can cause higher emissions. Get your oil changed before your emissions test.
- Get a tune-up. Make sure the air and fuel filters are changed/clean.
- Make sure your Honda is running at the proper operating temperature per the temperature indicator on your dashboard.
- The “check engine” light should be OFF. Be sure your gas cap is securely tightened. A loose cap can cause the “check engine” light to come on.
