Good questions.
What do I need to bring?
Just your vehicle and payment. The test is tied to your vehicle's VIN, and the result is sent to the state automatically.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Pull in any time during business hours, Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 6 PM.
What if my car fails?
You'll get a printed report showing why. Have the issue repaired, then bring the vehicle back with your report and repair paperwork. Georgia stations include one free retest under state rules — ask us for the details.
My check engine light is on. Will I pass?
Usually not. An illuminated check engine light is typically an automatic fail on Georgia's computer-based test, so it's best to get it diagnosed and fixed before testing.
How do I know if my car needs a test this year?
For 2026 registrations, gas-powered cars and light trucks from model years 2002–2023 need a test in metro Atlanta. Not sure? Give us a call or check cleanairforce.com.
