Emissions Inspections
In Missouri, most vehicles that are 1996 or newer for gas-powered and 1997 or newer for diesel-powered, and have a gross vehicle weight of 8,500 pounds or less, are required to undergo emissions inspections. This requirement applies to vehicles registered in the St. Louis non-attainment area, which includes St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, and Jefferson County. The emissions inspection helps ensure vehicles meet the state’s environmental standards to reduce air pollution and maintain healthier air quality for everyone in the region.
The Gateway Vehicle Inspection Program (GVIP) uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBDII) to conduct emissions tests. During this test, a technician connects to the vehicle's computer system to verify the functionality of emissions-control devices. This program plays an important role in limiting harmful emissions that contribute to ground-level ozone, which can pose health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory issues.
At Cintech Automotive Repair, our team is certified to perform Missouri emissions inspections. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to ensure your vehicle meets emissions standards, and we take the time to explain any repairs needed to help you pass the test successfully. Our focus on accurate diagnostics and customer service makes us the clear choice for your emissions inspection and certification needs.
