Clean air is everyone’s responsibility, and your car plays a big role in reducing pollution. That’s why Emissions Testing London Ontario is so important. It ensures your vehicle meets environmental standards and keeps harmful gases out of the air. At Empire Service Center, we provide reliable emissions testing and the repairs needed to help your vehicle pass with confidence.

What Is Emissions Testing?

Emissions testing measures the gases released from your vehicle’s exhaust. The test checks for pollutants like:

• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Hydrocarbons (HC)
• Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
• Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

These gases contribute to air pollution and smog. By passing the test, your vehicle proves it’s safe for the road and eco-friendly.

Why Emissions Testing Matters

• Legal Requirement: Cars must meet Ontario’s environmental standards.
• Protects the Environment: Reduces smog and harmful gases.
• Improves Vehicle Health: Identifies problems in exhaust, engine, or sensors.
• Saves Money: A well-maintained car runs more efficiently and burns less fuel.

Common Reasons Cars Fail Emissions Tests

• Faulty oxygen sensors affecting fuel mixture.
• Worn catalytic converters that can’t filter pollutants.
• Leaking exhaust systems causing incorrect readings.
• Dirty air filters or spark plugs increasing emissions.
• Check engine light on – automatic failure until repaired.
