Failed Emissions in Douglasville

Beginning in 1996, the Georgia Clean Air Force has been helping Metro Atlanta drivers decrease the excess pollution that we put in our atmosphere. With the Clean Air Act requires 13 Metro Atlanta counties to have current proof of a passed emissions test prior to getting their required license plate tags, there are plenty of locations all throughout Metro Atlanta where you can have your emissions testing completed.

Because Emissions Testing in Georgia is so precise and comprehensive, and because the government sanctioned testing facilities are so prevalent in the Metro Atlanta area, motorists have ample opportunity to get, and pass, an emissions test. But what happens if your car has failed emissions testing? Where should you go? What should you do? How expensive will the repairs be? What do these pass/fail codes mean? If your car or truck has failed emissions in Douglasville or West Georgia, try this:


1) Don’t panic, but don’t wait too long. The longer you wait - the more likely your going to have to pay a fine.
2) Call, contact, or come by Modern Auto.
3) Rest easy, knowing your vehicle is in great hands.

So what kinds of car problems can lead to a failed emissions test? Technically, Emissions Testing is designed to analyze your car’s present and potential situation for excessive emissions of several gasses. While Carbon Monoxide is perhaps the most infamous vehicle emission, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxide, and Hydrocarbons are also very harmful emissions that can wreak havoc on the environment if left untreated. These gaseous excesses can be caused by several problems with your vehicle. The bad news is that these things can cause a failed emissions test. The good news is that Modern Auto can fix it!
