What vehicles require an emissions test in Gwinnett County?
In Gwinnett County, gasoline-powered vehicles model year 1996 or newer are generally required to pass an emissions test before registration can be renewed. Diesel vehicles, electric vehicles, motorcycles, and vehicles model year 1995 or older are typically exempt. Your registration renewal notice will confirm whether your vehicle requires testing.
What happens if my car fails the emissions test?
If your vehicle fails, you will receive a detailed report explaining exactly why it failed. You can take this report to a mechanic to have the issue repaired. Once repaired, return to Emission First LLC for a retest. Most common failure causes include a check engine light, incomplete readiness monitors, or a faulty oxygen sensor.
Can I renew my Georgia registration without an emissions test?
If your vehicle is registered in Gwinnett County and requires emissions testing, you must pass the test before your registration can be renewed. The Georgia Department of Revenue will not process the renewal without proof of emissions compliance.
What should I do before going in for my emissions test?
Make sure your check engine light is off, your gas cap is tight, and you have not recently disconnected your battery or had codes cleared. If codes were recently cleared, drive at least 50 to 100 miles under normal conditions first so your vehicle's readiness monitors can reset. These simple steps will help you pass on your first visit.
