You can increase the likelihood of passing emissions testing in Littleton, CO by following these tips:
- Warm-up your vehicle before arriving. You might want to do some errands before your testing appointment if you live just five minutes away. When a vehicle is not at normal operating temperature, the emissions will read high. Drive it for at least 15 minutes at highway speed—or longer if you are driving on surface streets—before your testing appointment..
- Make sure the exhaust system does not have any leaks. If it does, your vehicle may not be able to be tested.
