Emissions and Smog Testing
At Darwin Automotive, we help our Memphis customers' cars run as cleanly and efficiently as they possibly can. We provide a range of emissions testing services to ensure that your car is running and driving its best, as well as complying with all local smog regulations. Should a problem arise with any of your vehicle's emission systems, we provide the parts and expertise to get you back on the road. Darwin Automotive can replace mufflers/catalytic converters, refill diesel exhaust fluid, and make sure the full range of filters in your vehicle's exhaust system are working perfectly.
Regulators understand that older cars simply can't meet modern emissions standards without extensive modifications. For newer cars however, passing a smog test is a requirement of road legality. Call us at 901-590-0684 to learn more about the emissions requirements for your vehicle.
Emissions testing (also known as smog testing) is a vital part of the maintenance of your vehicle. E-tests provide your mechanic with important information about your car's engine and exhaust system. If important components, like your car's catalytic converter aren't working properly, the car isn't running as it was intended to by the manufacturer. Inefficiency costs you extra money in fuel and does unnecessary harm to the planet. Emissions testing can also affect the value of a vehicle you're trying to sell; while you can still sell a car without a valid e-test certification, you'll get more money for one that has passed the test.
There are several reasons that a car may fail its emissions test. There may be a problem with the vehicle's fuel system adding too much fuel to the air-fuel ratio required for proper combustion within the cylinders of the car's engine. This is known as "running rich" and results in the smell of gasoline from fuel passing through the engine and exhaust system without being fully burnt. Causes of this issue range from faulty fuel injectors to issues with the engine's control computer. There may also be problems with oxygen sensors or the vehicle's ignition system. At Darwin Automotive, we use a complete set of diagnostic equipment to determine the problem and fix it quickly, explaining every step of the process to you, our valued patron. Call us at 901-590-0684 or send us an email to arrange a health check for your car's emissions system today!

What Our Customers Are Saying
Dropped my truck off for an oil change, inspection and tire rotation. I have had a check engine light on for months and they were able to track down the issue that other shops kept telling me they couldn't. Very honest and straight forward about what was needed and the price was very fair. Amazing group of guys! I will use Darwin for all my future automotive needs.

I took my INFINITY FX35 because it was not cranking anymore. I spoke with Joe and he was nice through the whole process. He did a diagnostic on it and found out that I needed to replace the Main Fuse Panel. A week or two later he called me back and told me that my vehicle was ready. I couldn't have been more satisfied. Thank you and I will doing FUTURE BUSINESS!
