Emissions Repair & VVRP Approved Repair Facility

Action Auto Repair is a VVRP-approved emissions repair facility in North Phoenix. If your vehicle has failed an Arizona emissions test, our experienced technicians can diagnose the problem, explain what repairs are needed, and help get your vehicle ready to pass its emissions retest. We have been serving Phoenix drivers since 1983 with honest recommendations and repairs you can trust.

Failed Your Arizona Emissions Test?

A failed emissions test does not always mean an expensive repair. The problem may be caused by something as simple as a loose or faulty gas cap, or it may involve engine or emissions sensors, the ignition system, fuel system or other emissions-related components.

Our technicians will diagnose the cause of the failure and explain what needs to be repaired before any work is done. Our goal is to fix the actual problem, not sell you repairs you don't need.

What Is the VVRP Program?

The Voluntary Vehicle Repair Program (VVRP) is an Arizona program that helps eligible vehicle owners pay for emissions-related repairs after a failed emissions test. The program pays up to $900 toward qualifying repairs, and the vehicle owner pays a $100 co-pay. Additional repair costs above $1,000 are the responsibility of the vehicle owner.

If you want to participate in VVRP, your vehicle must first fail its required Arizona emissions test before you bring it to Action Auto Repair for VVRP repairs. After the failed test, you must apply for the program and receive approval. Once approved, you can select Action Auto Repair as your VVRP-approved repair facility.

Common Reasons Vehicles Fail Emissions

Common causes of emissions-test failures can include a check engine light, faulty oxygen or other engine-management sensors, ignition problems, fuel-system issues, evaporative-emissions leaks, a loose or damaged gas cap, and other components that affect how the engine and emissions system operate.

The right repair starts with the right diagnosis. Rather than guessing or replacing parts unnecessarily, we test the system to identify the actual cause of the failure and recommend only the repairs that are needed.

Do You Perform Arizona Emissions Testing?

No. Action Auto Repair is not an Arizona emissions testing station. If your vehicle fails its emissions test, our technicians can diagnose the cause of the failure and perform the repairs needed to correct the problem.

After the repairs are completed, we'll take your vehicle back through emissions testing for you and make sure it passes. You don't have to make another trip to the emissions station or wait in line for the retest.

If you're participating in VVRP, Action Auto Repair is an approved repair facility that can perform qualifying emissions-related repairs.

Why Choose Action Auto Repair for Emissions Repairs?

When your vehicle fails emissions, you want the problem diagnosed correctly without unnecessary repairs. Action Auto Repair has been serving Phoenix drivers since 1983, and our ASE-certified technicians use professional diagnostic equipment to determine what is causing the emissions failure.

We explain what we find, recommend only the repairs your vehicle needs, and help you understand what needs to be done to get your vehicle back on the road. As a VVRP-approved repair facility, we can perform qualifying emissions-related repairs for customers enrolled in the program. We also offer complimentary shuttle service, so you don't have to arrange a ride while your vehicle is being serviced.
