Our technicians evaluate the effectiveness of your emissions control systems including catalytic converters and evaporative emissions systems.
Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) Analysis
An OBD test is performed to ensure that the onboard computer system of the vehicle is functioning correctly and detecting any emissions-related issues.
Common Reasons for Failing an Emissions Test
Common issues that can cause a vehicle to fail an emissions test include a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, issues with the catalytic converter, or evaporative emission control system defects. Our team at Hank's Auto Services can diagnose and repair these issues promptly.
How to Prepare for Your Emissions Inspection

Recommended by a family member and friend. I do all my work, period, as I work as a mechanic in a different industry and don't like others working on my vehicles. That being said, sometimes you just can't do it all, like welding and specific exhuast work. Brought my car in, showed them what I wanted, they worked with me and gave me a few suggestions, gave me a timeframe and got right to it. Came back later to a lower then expected price and excellent service. Explained and showed me what was done, and I couldn't be happier. These guys earned my trust in one visit. Even came back the next day for an un-related item I wanted then to look at, fixed that for me too easy and fast. Great shop, super friendly mechanics, highly recommended.
