Two common questions our service department hears from drivers around Lincoln are “What is an emissions test” and “Do I need an emissions test?” Well it’s a little complicated, but the short answer is yes if you live in certain states. For example, California does require an emissions test for cars on the road, but Nebraska doesn’t. But how long does an emissions test take, and how much is an emissions test?
But let’s cover the basics first of what is an emissions test? Your vehicle features an onboard computer that oversees engine performance concerning fuel, spark, and air.

So, how long does an emissions test take? Fortunately, it is a fairly quick process. Generally, the test will take 15 to 30 minutes.

For states with more requirements, the test will be longer.
