How can I get my car to pass an emissions test?
I’ve had my car for about two years now. Apparently, it’s time for me to get an emissions test. I didn’t even know that was a thing until now, and I’m wondering how difficult it is to pass. What would make my car fail an emissions test?

“A lot of people don’t think much about emissions tests since they are required so infrequently—but they are very important, as they measure the level of pollutants your car releases.
If you are worried about not passing, the best things you can do to prepare for an emissions test are:
- Get an oil change.
- Fill up your tires.
- Get a tune-up.
- Warm up your car ahead of time.
- Fix any engine problems.
The test will likely take around 15-30 minutes to complete. While you wait, why not take a quick look at your
car insurance
policy?If you find that you’re paying too much or lacking coverage, consider shopping for a new policy with the
