As vehicle manufacturers and car owners come under increasing pressure to reduce pollution, more people are experiencing emission problems and exhaust troubles. When your car produces emissions which are too high, there can be a variety of unwanted consequences.
If your emission problem means your vehicle is generating too much carbon monoxide, for example, it will fail its annual MOT test. As well as rectifying the issue and reducing the emissions produced by your vehicle, you will need to submit it for an MOT retest. Of course, this means unnecessary downtime and additional expense for car owners.
However, an emission problem doesn’t only become apparent during the MOT testing procedure. Vehicles are designed to warn drivers when an emission problem occurs, so you may notice an illuminated light on your dashboard. As these warning lights can indicate a range of issues, it’s vital that you access diagnostic services swiftly.
With experienced technicians on hand, we can undertake dynamic car diagnostics and identify any emission problem that’s occurring. What’s more, our dedicated team are adept at resolving emissions issues quickly, so you can be back on the road in no time.

Keeping your vehicle safe and roadworthy
Although high emissions equate to an automatic MOT failure, drivers can also be subject to random roadside testing. If you’re stopped and your vehicle’s emissions are tested, you could be prevented from using it until the problem is rectified. Unfortunately, this means unexpected downtime and unforeseen expenses.
By having your vehicle’s emissions checked regularly, however, you can ensure that your car will pass any roadside tests with ease. This means you won’t be subject to fines or penalties and you won’t be hit by unexpected bills to resolve an emission problem either.
Assessing your car’s emissions
Although emission levels are extremely important, they aren’t something you can monitor yourself. As well as testing your car’s production of carbon monoxide, our state-of-the-art equipment checks the amount of nitrogen oxide, nitric oxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter too.
These outputs are all tested when your emissions are checked during roadside testing or annual MOTs. To ensure your vehicle isn’t experiencing an emission problem, we’ll conduct thorough and comprehensive emissions checks.
In addition to this, we can identify the cause of potential emission issues and put them right quickly and efficiently.
Resolving your vehicle’s emission problem
When your car’s emissions are too high, the issue could be caused by a number of factors. In some cases, an oil change is needed to improve the quality of your vehicle’s outputs, whilst air filters, tyre pressures and sluggish performance can be responsible too.
With so many potential contributors to an emission problem, it’s important to have an experienced technician on hand to identify the underlying issue first-time. This will keep repair and maintenance costs to a minimum and ensure your vehicle remains roadworthy.
