Two 2002 lawsuits initiated by the Clean Air Council and Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future expedited implementation of the U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA) standard for emissions inspection procedures.
PENNDOT and DEP agreed to settle the above lawsuits in May of 2003 over the PA program for automobile emissions testing. The state's emissions testing program was brought into compliance with federal air quality standards. The change resulted in better air quality for our community, while having unnoticeable change on Pennsylvania drivers.
OBD, or on-board diagnotics are now heavily relied upon as a result of these lawsuits. Vehicles manufactured since 1996 feature this technology, which allows an automotive mechanic to download emissions inspection information from an on-board computer built into a vehicle. This technology helps auto technicians to easily diagnose engine malfunctions that can lead to increased pollution.

Our emissions and safety inspection services are driven by our customer first approach and our ability to present you with multiple options to get back on the road within your schedule and budget.
Once per year. Vehicles are inspected annually. Drivers simply need to check their emissions and safety inspection stickers on their vehicle to find the month in which your vehicle is to be inspected. Emissions inspections can be performed by any PA state certified automotive shop or automobile dealer.
The PA State Safety inspection is an overall "safety" check of dozens of hardware componets on a vehicle. The PA State Emission inspection is a computerized analysis of the vehicle's on board emission system and overall exhaust output.
Brakes, tires, suspension, exhaust, engine mounts, windows and windshields. Lighting, handles and locks, wiper systems, seatbelts, fuel lines, brake lines, and overall vehicle integrity are also inspected for proper operation during this procedure.
Most modern vehicles receive a newer style OBD plug in emissions test. The computer analyzes the onboard emissions system and determines pass or fail. The fuel cap is also checked for seal integrity.
You will be required to repair any vehicle components to state standards that fail an emissions or safety inspection. Your vehicle will not be road legal until this repairs are made.
You simply need to provide your vehicle registration and proof of insurance. That's it!
