PATIENCE PLEASE

Our staff is doing the best they can to get everyone through the testing process as quickly and safely as possible.
Air Care, like many businesses, is a few staff members short right now.
While we are working diligently every day to add team members, it takes time to train new staff.

Please keep this in mind when:
The line is a little longer than usual,
the testing process takes a little more time,
not all lanes are open due to staff shortages, or equipment malfunction, and
speaking to staff who are working as hard and as fast as they are able.

Thank you for your understanding. 

Masks are no longer required at Air Care Colorado testing stations for customers or staff
If you would like for your inspector to wear a mask, please request this when you are greeted.
Our staff can make this accommodation elderly when requested.

NOTE: Emissions standards are tightening as of January 2022

Vehicle emissions continue to be a major contributor to air pollution in Colorado. 

Air Care Colorado is using tighter emissions standards for its I/M 240 dynamometer (treadmill) test, starting in January 2022. 

The I/M 240 test is for vehicles that are at least eight (8) years old back to model year 1982. 

Your vehicle should still pass this test (even with these new tighter standards) if it is in proper working order. 

SAVE TIME!!!
Attempt to complete your vehicle registration renewal ONLINE
BEFORE visiting an Air Care Station

Due to COVID-19 adjustments to testing protocols, and delays in the postal system, it is possible that you may not need to go to an emissions inspection station; you may have already passed emissions through the RapidScreen roadside option, or you may not have received your registration renewal card in a timely manner. More vehicles are receiving passing emissions through the RapidScreen roadside testing option, and some registration notifications may not reflect this.

To renew online:
1) Be sure to have available:

• License plate number,
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), (You can find the 17-digit VIN on your insurance card, driver's side door of the vehicle, or the title.)
• Current Colorado insurance information, and
• Valid credit card or check.

2) Got to MyDMV.Colorado.gov
3) Click on  Renew a vehicle registration (The car icon under 'Vehicle Quick Start.')
4) Read instructions and press the 'NEXT' button to begin the registration process.

If you receive a message that says your vehicle requires an inspection before it can be registered, please visit one of the 18 Air Care Colorado locations for an inspection and try again.
