- Included With Every Visit
What the Emissions Test Covers
Every emissions test follows Texas state guidelines to verify your vehicle meets the required emissions standards before registration renewal.
OBD II Diagnostic Scan
We connect to your vehicle's onboard diagnostic system to check for emissions-related trouble codes and system performance.
Readiness Monitors
Our technicians verify that all required emissions readiness monitors have completed their diagnostic checks.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
We confirm your check engine light is not illuminated, as an active warning light can prevent your vehicle from passing.
Evaporative System Check
The EVAP monitor is reviewed to ensure your vehicle's fuel vapor recovery system is operating correctly.
- Be Prepared
What to Bring
Bringing the required documents helps make your emissions testing visit quick and hassle-free.
Your Vehicle
Bring the vehicle that requires testing and make sure the check engine light is off before arriving.
Valid Texas Registration
Have your current Texas vehicle registration available during the testing process.
Proof of Insurance
Please bring valid liability insurance, either as a printed card or digital proof.
Payment
State-regulated emissions testing fees apply. We accept cash, credit cards, and most major payment methods.
No. Most non-commercial vehicles in Williamson and Travis County now need only an emissions test for registration renewal. Texas replaced the safety inspection with a fee paid at registration. Commercial vehicles still require a safety inspection.
Gasoline-powered vehicles that are between 2 and 24 model years old need one. Hybrids are not exempt. Diesel vehicles, motorcycles, electric-only vehicles, and new vehicles still within their initial two-year period do not need the test.
Emissions testing fees are set by the State of Texas and vary by vehicle and county. Contact Leander Lube Express for current pricing.
The test is quick, and most visits take about 15 to 20 minutes. Wait times can vary depending on how busy we are.
No appointment is necessary. Just drive in during business hours.
We'll explain the reason for the failure and discuss the next steps to help you meet state requirements.
An active check engine light will cause a vehicle to fail the emissions test. Have the underlying issue diagnosed and repaired first, then come back for testing.
Your passing result is tied to your registration renewal and is valid for a limited window before your registration expires.
