INSPECTIONS & EMISSIONS

Some states require regular safety inspections and/or emissions inspections on cars and trucks. At Ernie's Local Automotive Service, we are well-equipped and trained to perform these inspections. Our technicians can also perform multi-point inspections on your vehicles as needed.

These are some of the inspection services we offer.

IL State Certified Emissions Repair Facility

The repair facility must employ a CERT (Certified Emissions Repair Technician) who has passed a state-required training program.
