Reliable PA Emissions Testing at King’s Auto Repair

If your vehicle is registered in Pennsylvania, it may be required to undergo an annual emissions inspection to ensure it meets state environmental standards. At King’s Auto Repair, we provide quick, accurate, and hassle-free emissions testing to help you stay compliant and keep your vehicle running efficiently.

What is a Pennsylvania Emissions Inspection?

Pennsylvania's emissions program is designed to reduce harmful pollutants and improve air quality. The test measures your vehicle’s exhaust emissions to ensure they meet state regulations.

Our certified emissions testing follows the official Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) guidelines and includes:

  • Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) Testing – For model year 1996 and newer vehicles. Checks the engine computer for issues.
  • Gas Cap Pressure Check – Ensures your gas cap is properly sealed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping.

Who Needs an Emissions Test?

The need for an emissions test depends on your vehicle's age, fuel type, and registration location. Some counties in Pennsylvania require emissions testing annually, while others may have different regulations.

Most gasoline-powered vehicles from model year 1975 and newer require emissions testing.

Diesel-powered vehicles under 9,000 lbs. may be exempt.

Electric vehicles (EVs) and certain alternative fuel vehicles may be exempt from emissions testing.For more details on exemptions, check out our blog post on emissions exemptions.

We Do Not Perform Emissions Waivers

If your vehicle fails an emissions test, you may qualify for a waiver under specific state guidelines. However, King’s Auto Repair does not perform emissions waivers. For more information on waivers, visit our blog post about emissions waivers.

Got a loaner car, great people from check in to all the repairs. The transmission service improved the shifting and hopefully will work for a long time. Casey the tech even took the time to explain some of the repairs. The price was very reasonable but mainly the work is thorough and even comes with a 3 year guarantee. The best shop in the area. They instill confidence.

This place can be summed up in one word: quality. I went to get a diagnostic on for van and it came with a line by line list of recommended services from most urgent to maintenance along with pictures and quotes. The repairs were performed within a day’s time. The customer service at the front desk was always professional and kind. I definitely will be returning for future service!

Kings is the best in berks county. I will never go anywhere else. After having some emergency issues with my breaks they promptly got me in, and fixed the issue. I never feel pressured to do things that I may not be able to afford at the time, and they explain things in a way that makes it easier for me to understand. I always recommend Kings to people who ask me where I go. Thank you Ashley, Mike, and Randy for always making me feel comfortable and for the best service I have ever received! You’re awesome!
