Questions about a Voluntary Test
For a $20 fee, any gasoline-powered vehicle can receive a voluntary emissions
test.
This service may be used by anyone, for example:
- Individuals considering the purchase of a used vehicle.
- Out-of-state residents whose vehicles are temporarily in Illinois
and need emissions tests to comply with their home-state requirements.
- Auto repair technicians to verify repairs and improve customer satisfaction.
The voluntary test is not considered an official test for Illinois vehicles
subject to testing.
To obtain a voluntary test a voucher must be purchased at a full service
testing station office prior to entering the test lane. Payment must be
made in cash - checks and credit cards are not accepted.
If you have any other questions, please visit a Customer Service Representative
at any full service testing stations, or call the Illinois EPA at (800)
635-2380, or check this website for updates.
