Emissions Tests in Colorado: The Worst and Best Times to Go
Getting an emissions test can be an annoying chore. However, it is required for most vehicles in Colorado in order to renew your registration. Not only do cars need their emissions test to pass, but you also need a VIN verification.
My girlfriend, who I live with, is in the process right now of getting her emissions test done to renew her registration.
She has tried to go on her lunch break at work multiple times but has been greeted with a long line every time. She would not make it back to work on time.
So, I did some digging to find out the best and worst times to get an emissions test done.
