Working toward creating a cleaner and healthier environment is a team sport. The more people participating, the better the results! That's why the state government now requires you to take Drive Clean Emissions Test in Ontario to help reduce air pollution. ETRH is here to break it down for you:

What is emission testing?

Sometimes also referred to as a smog check, an emission test is done to measure the levels of pollutants, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen, emitted by your vehicle.

Does your vehicle need an emission test?

It likely does. More than 30 states now require some kind of emission testing done on a registered vehicle. However, the requirements may vary depending on the model release year and whether it is diesel, petrol, or gas operated.

If you are not sure what is currently required for your vehicle, you can contact us to get accurate and up-to-date information on Emission Tests in Ontario.

How long does the emission test take?

The emission test usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. However, each state can set its own requirements, and timing may vary depending on them. After all, more requirements will take more time.
