ADEQ Vehicle Emissions

At about 3.5 — 4 minutes per car in the express lane for newer cars, who can complain? Well, many I’m sure but not me. The wait-​times are available on the ADEQ web site and though it can change between the time you might check at home and the time you get there, you can still largely avoid long lines (and this station has lesser wait times than many of the others anyway. Service was fast and just fine. Spare me effusive over-​friendliness — just get me tested and out of here — and they did. No complaints. Very efficient and not unfriendly. My compliments.

More $ for the man.
I’ve been to this Emissions testing place 3 times and have never once waited in a line. That means A LOT when you have to do Emissions testing. It’s also very conveniently located off I-​17 on 16^th St.
People weren’t too friendly though, but I guess if I worked in Emissions testing in the AZ heat, I might not be too cordial either…

There are times when I look at a map and think I know where I’m going. Mostly, that’s the case. On Saturday, when I made plans to have my vehicle emissions tested first thing in the morning… yeah, not so much. In fact, I was so angry that I couldn’t find my destination that I was seething and really was hoping someone would start something with me. Which is odd because I try to be more passive. Once I finally returned home and realized I was a few miles off, I pulled up and found that my anticipated wait time was 6 minutes. Really? Six minutes and I was expecting to spend a good portion of my morning here? Awesome.
The actual testing in quite painless. You’re asked to turn off your car and release the gas cap cover. Then you stand there for five minutes, get your results and go. It’s that simple!
My only grumble was the loudness of the facility. I couldn’t hear anything. But, still, after expecting the worst these guys delivered the best. If giving hand jobs was an exceptable form of gratitude, I’d be wearing part of these guys right now.
