What is Emissions?
As part of Arizona’s initiative to protect air quality and avoid federal restrictions on economic growth, Arizona residents in the Phoenix and Tucson areas are required to have their vehicle’s emission tested every 1-2 years, depending on the vehicle. Although there are some exemptions, as listed here, most vehicles over 5 years old and manufactured in 1967 and later, must pass emissions testing to register the vehicle.

Emissions Testing
ADEQ testing stations perform tests dependent on your vehicle type, which may include exhaust measurements, onboard diagnostic testing, smoke density testing, and tampering inspections. Emissions tests range in price from $12.25 (Tucson) to as high as $25 for diesels (Phoenix). Should the vehicle fail the initial emissions test, a second test may be performed free of charge if completed within 60 days.
