Emissions and Smog Testing in Tempe, AZ
At Hardy Vehicle Designs, we help our Tempe customers' cars run as cleanly and efficiently as they possibly can. We provide a range of emissions testing services to ensure that your car is running and driving its best, as well as complying with all local smog regulations. Should a problem arise with any of your vehicle's emission systems, we provide the parts and expertise to get you back on the road. Hardy Vehicle Designs can replace mufflers/catalytic converters, refill diesel exhaust fluid, and make sure the full range of filters in your vehicle's exhaust system are working perfectly.
Regulators understand that older cars simply can't meet modern emissions standards without extensive modifications. For newer cars however, passing a smog test is a requirement of road legality. Call us at 480-737-1214 to learn more about the emissions requirements for your vehicle.
Emissions testing (also known as smog testing) is a vital part of the maintenance of your vehicle. E-tests provide your mechanic with important information about your car's engine and exhaust system. If important components, like your car's catalytic converter aren't working properly, the car isn't running as it was intended to by the manufacturer. Inefficiency costs you extra money in fuel and does unnecessary harm to the planet. Emissions testing can also affect the value of a vehicle you're trying to sell; while you can still sell a car without a valid e-test certification, you'll get more money for one that has passed the test.
There are several reasons that a car may fail its emissions test. There may be a problem with the vehicle's fuel system adding too much fuel to the air-fuel ratio required for proper combustion within the cylinders of the car's engine. This is known as "running rich" and results in the smell of gasoline from fuel passing through the engine and exhaust system without being fully burnt. Causes of this issue range from faulty fuel injectors to issues with the engine's control computer. There may also be problems with oxygen sensors or the vehicle's ignition system. At Hardy Vehicle Designs, we use a complete set of diagnostic equipment to determine the problem and fix it quickly, explaining every step of the process to you, our valued patron. Call us at 480-737-1214 or send us an email to arrange a health check for your car's emissions system today!

What Our Customers Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 — Highly Recommend! I can’t recommend Hardy Vehicle Designs enough. After being rear-ended, I initially took my car to the repair shop recommended by the insurance company, but my vehicle still wasn’t repaired correctly. When I brought it to Hardy Vehicle Designs, they were able to identify the issues right away and explain exactly what had been missed. I was also dealing with a difficult insurance claim, and they went above and beyond to help communicate with the insurance company and explain why the original repairs were incomplete. Tyler was absolutely amazing to work with. He was knowledgeable, communicative, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. The entire team was professional, honest, and genuinely cared about making sure my car was repaired the right way. If I ever need any automotive work in the future, Hardy Vehicle Designs will be my first call. I’ll also be recommending them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable shop. Thank you for making such a stressful situation so much easier!

Rex walked around my car, squinted once, kicked a tire for dramatic effect, and gave me an estimate before I even finished explaining what happened. Pretty sure he has X-ray vision. If your car is bent, dented, scratched, or looks like you let a raccoon borrow it, ask for Rex.
