Certified Emissions Inspections in Lubbock

Why Emissions Inspections Are Essential

Emissions inspections play a critical role in protecting public health and the environment. Adhering to TX's emissions standards not only helps reduce air pollution but also improves air quality in Lubbock. These regular checks pinpoint repairs that can boost your vehicle's efficiency and cut down on harmful emissions.

Our Emissions Inspection Approach

At Hud's Auto Service, we conduct detailed emissions inspections using cutting-edge diagnostic equipment. Our certified technicians are trained to precisely measure your vehicle's emissions and pinpoint any compliance issues with state and federal regulations.

Emissions Inspection Basics


Common Reasons for Failing an Emissions Test
Common issues that can cause a vehicle to fail an emissions test include a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, issues with the catalytic converter, or evaporative emission control system defects. Our team at Hud's Auto Service can diagnose and repair these issues promptly.

Emissions Control Systems Checks
Our technicians evaluate the effectiveness of your emissions control systems including catalytic converters and evaporative emissions systems.

Exhaust System Evaluation
We thoroughly inspect your vehicle's exhaust system to detect any leaks or issues that could affect emission levels.

How to Prepare for Your Emissions Inspection
To prepare for your emissions inspection, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and that the check engine light is off. Driving the vehicle for about 30 minutes before the inspection can help warm up the engine to its normal operating temperature, which can improve test results.

Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) Analysis
An OBD test is performed to ensure that the onboard computer system of the vehicle is functioning correctly and detecting any emissions-related issues.

Honest and fair. That's all you can ask for in an auto shop these days. And it's hard to find someone you can trust. Well, Hud's has proven themselves as a trustworthy business to me. They don't try to upsale or mislead you, and their prices are always fair. As an electrician, I know labor costs money. They do a good job labor wise and typically pretty quick too. They also stand by their warranty for any type of work done. They have taken care of my daughters car multiple times (it's an old car) and have always done a good job. I would definitely recommend Hud's for any type of auto work.
