Where to get emissions (NoVA)...?

Scottz71 · 01-22-2009, 10:40 AM

Need emissions (time fly's, I know)...Curry's doesn't do it, Sterling BMW doesn't either...I am a bit finicky on who touches my car...suggestions please.

Best regards to all.

Any (trusted) gas station facility should do it. Its a simple procedure, they don't manhandle your car inappropriately (like take it out on a spin). Besides, you can always keep an eye on the whole process.

After watching gas station techs take the porsche on the ramp when it didn't need to (I said no), chip my front spoiler (not paint but plastic quarter sized piece gone), one tech admit it while he was standing right next to me, one deny it, the manager deny, the tech who first admitted it change story and deny, I will NEVER NEVER NEVER take a car back to a gas station to get an emissions. Mind I'd taken multiple cars (including the porsche) to this same station and had zero problems prior. This station is high volume including a luxury car dealer's emissions.

Curry's Chantilly outsources emissions to Advanced Automotive (Chantilly in the same complex as Curry's) and I haven't had any problems.
