Smog Check Engine Repair

Is it that dreaded time of year when you have to go down and get your vehicle emissions tested? Bullitt Automotive offers a smog check engine repair if you fail the test, just bring your papers down and let us find the problem and get your vehicle to pass the standards and get you on your way.

When you have your emission tested a state certified tech will measure the amount of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide that your vehicle is emitting. The tests can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour and may involve your vehicle being driven by a state tech on a roller to reproduce a preset driving scenario. If you fail any of these tests it could be from your emission controls or something else.

When you bring your vehicle in we will look at the tests you failed and it will point us in the direction of the problems you are having. All of or our services are backed with our guarantee and years of automotive repair experience.

• This also includes most vehicles in Tucson.
