Why Emissions Inspections Are Essential
Emissions inspections play a critical role in protecting public health and the environment. Adhering to TX's emissions standards not only helps reduce air pollution but also improves air quality in Lubbock. These regular checks pinpoint repairs that can boost your vehicle's efficiency and cut down on harmful emissions.
Our Emissions Inspection Approach
At Hud's Auto Service, we conduct detailed emissions inspections using cutting-edge diagnostic equipment. Our certified technicians are trained to precisely measure your vehicle's emissions and pinpoint any compliance issues with state and federal regulations.
Emissions Inspection Checklist
Exhaust System Evaluation
We meticulously examine your vehicle's exhaust system for any leaks or faults that could impact emissions.
Emissions Control Systems Checks
We check your vehicle's emissions control mechanisms, such as the catalytic converter and evaporative emissions system, to ensure they are functioning effectively.
Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) Analysis
We perform an OBD test to confirm that your vehicle's computer system is operational and accurately identifying emissions problems.
Common Reasons for Failing an Emissions Test
Vehicles often fail emissions tests due to issues like defective oxygen sensors, catalytic converter problems, or faults in the evaporative emission control system. At Hud's Auto Service, we specialize in diagnosing and fixing these problems efficiently.
How to Prepare for Your Emissions Inspection
To ready your vehicle for an emissions test, ensure it is well-maintained and the check engine light is off. Driving for about 30 minutes prior to the test can warm the engine to the optimal temperature, potentially enhancing the outcome.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Honest and fair. That's all you can ask for in an auto shop these days. And it's hard to find someone you can trust. Well, Hud's has proven themselves as a trustworthy business to me. They don't try to upsale or mislead you, and their prices are always fair. As an electrician, I know labor costs money. They do a good job labor wise and typically pretty quick too. They also stand by their warranty for any type of work done. They have taken care of my daughters car multiple times (it's an old car) and have always done a good job. I would definitely recommend Hud's for any type of auto work.

We have been back in Lubbock just over 2 years. When we asked for a good reputable shop, Huds came highly recommended! Since we have been back, we have had my Jeep in a few times now. (I know Just Empty Every Pocket) From the first hello when you call to schedule-to the time of pick up- their customer service has been top notch and will keep us coming back! Thank you to every team member at Huds for your warm welcomes, friendly smiles, honesty, and helping me NOT empty every pocket!
