Registering Your Vehicle in Illinois
The state requires all drivers to register their cars, right after purchase or after moving to the state. If you’ve found your new or pre-owned vehicle here at our dealership, we’ll assist you with the registration process. Emissions testing is only needed for certain vehicles.
Any gas-powered vehicle from 1996 or later qualifies for testing once it is at least four model years old. The emissions test will be completed every two years, though some vehicles and zip codes will not be required to complete the test. If you’re unsure whether or not your vehicle requires a test, let us know, and we’ll keep you updated about your car.
If the vehicle fails the emissions test, it will need to be retested. New to the state? Make sure your vehicle is registered before the emissions test!
What Does an Illinois Emissions Test Check?
Your vehicle emissions test will look for any damaged systems or leaks and measure fuel consumption and the quality of the emissions. During the inspection, we’ll complete a thorough examination of the vehicle, ensuring it’s functioning and up to federal and state standards.
If the vehicle does not pass the emissions test, the needed repairs can be scheduled, so the car will pass the inspection on its next try. If your car does need service or repairs, we’ll be sure to schedule them here at our location.
