Illinois Vehicle Emissions Testing Center

Agree with Tracy, went this week on a weekday. 1 minute wait. 1 car ahead of me. Would say it was less that 5 minutes. Tech. did the job in record time. Much appreciated

Anthony is far beyond professional! You just don’t expect such a positive & outgoing wave of energy, at an Emissions Facility. Anthony was actually eager and pleased to serve, which are very rare facets of a typical young guy’s work ethic. I was left thoroughly impressed and in a better vibe than when I arrived. What an asset he is, to this facility and to society.

I’ve been to this location twice now. Both times I’ve been in and out within 5 minutes. Employees are pleasant too.

Well you certainly can’t stay in your vehicle. Had to get out and go in the «waiting» room which is enclosed… but you can still see everything going on. Took about 9 minutes to get in and out with a PASS, and that included waiting for a vehicle infront of me.
Overall, real easy, and in a nice location.

When your car gets to be of a certain age, you need to prove that it is not a big pollutant. My car entered this age bracket this year and I was dreading having to get the emissions test. So much so that I waited until the last possible minute.
The only time I could go was on a Saturday. I brought a snack, had my phone fully charged and was completely prepared to wait. However, much to my delight, I was in and out in less than five minutes. The workers don’t love their job, they told me as much, but they sure are efficient. I barely got to check in and I was already being sent on my way.
Totally painless experience. Don’t put it off!

Wow less than a five minute wait on a Saturday and I passed. My tech was pleasant and professional. The whole thing took less than 5 minutes. It was not hard to find, I followed the directions on google maps.

Emissons testing is a total drag.
Who wants to take valuable time from their busy lifestyle to do this type of mundane crap?
This place made it almost painfree.
Clean, zero lines when I went, and a polite employee.
Minus one star because I had a little trouble finding it.

Wow, I love having this place nearby! There was no wait and the tech let me stay in the car with my two small kids while he tested instead of having to unbuckle everyone and hang out in their waiting area.
If you are familiar with Duvan Drive, it is SUPER easy to find. It’s on the west end of the street.

An little hard to find — it’s in an industrial park. Look it up on Mapquest.

Finally a easy, no wait, clean facility to get your car tested for emissions. Up until recently, the only choice in the South Suburbs was Matteson.
However this is a OBD test facility only. Meaning you have to have a car after a certain year that has On Board Diagnostic. It is basically a multi pin plug under the dash near the steering wheel of your car. I believe it is on cars newer than 1995 but not positive on that one.
I pulled up, there was no wait and was out the door in 5 minutes. It made this mundane task more tolerable. I withhold one star for the not so friendly employee.
