Emissions Testing Made Easy

There are many reasons why motorists value our services. One of the biggest reasons? We make the inspection process as simple as can be.

Simply schedule an inspection at our service center, bring your vehicle, and wait on-site while we conduct our work. In as little as twenty minutes, we can provide you with a detailed report on your vehicle's emissions.

Your Eco-Friendly Auto Experts

We believe every motorist and mechanic should do their part to protect their environment. While vehicles are bound to emit a certain level of pollutants, we believe that all emissions should be kept to an absolute minimum. While remedying the issues that lead to excessive emissions might be difficult for some, we know how to optimize any vehicle that enters our shop.

Some of the ways we can improve your vehicle's emissions include the following:

Switch to Premium Fuel

The fuel that goes into your vehicle matters as much as the food that goes into your body. Premium fuels contain cleaning agents that can remove dirt from your vehicle's engine. With less dirt blocking fuel lines, emissions will likely decrease.

Book an Oil Change

An oil change can do wonders for any vehicle. Engine oil cools, cleans, and lubricates your vehicle's components. The more often you change the oil, the more efficiently it will do these things.

Change the Air Filters

Many motorists may neglect to think of the air filters in a vehicle, but these components are vital to the performance of your engine. When an air filter becomes clogged and caked with dust, engine airflow reduces dramatically. When an engine has a reduction in airflow, pollutants and harmful deposits build up.

Fully Equipped for Smog Checks and More

Emissions testing, commonly referred to as smog checks, is a mandatory test most vehicles require when licensing and renewing. When your vehicle needs an emissions test, Cien Motor Werks is here for you. We care about your vehicle, but we also care about our clients.
