Sure, you can do classic insurance on certain vehicles in order to bypass the test however, if that's not possible, you have no choice. And since there's only one place to go, OF COURSE I recommend them. But this location went above and beyond. I don't know the guys name but after he tested our car, he noticed a vacuum line off. He told us about it and told us to hook it back up and bring it back. I think you're supposed to wait a certain amount of time but we left, fixed the hose, went right back, and he took us right back in. I think had he noticed it BEFORE doing the test, he probably would have told us right away OR maybe even plugged it back in (I don't think they are allowed to do that tho). Anyway, all said and done, the car passed, and we are on the road, licensed and legal!

When it was recently brought to my attention that my car registration needed to be updated, I…read morerealized I also needed to complete an emissions test before I could renew the registration. Needless to say, I wasn't super psyched to have to find time in my already busy days to figure this out, but I sucked it up and searched for the nearest emissions testing and found this place. I headed that way late on a Monday afternoon and was pleased to see that the line was not long, and it moved pretty fast too! I was in and out quickly and luckily my car passed the test. If you're in need of emissions testing, this place is fast, efficient, and the staff is friendly enough too.

For the longest time, I used to dread getting that email that told me that my car registration…read morerenewal was due and that I needed to have emissions testing done. I have waited in some very long lines in the past in the hot Arizona summer. I have three vehicles and all three needed car emissions testing this year. I recently moved to Mesa and googled this station as a station near enough to have my testing done at. As everyone knows, ADEQ measures the level of pollutants present in vehicle exhaust. The testing itself doesn't take long, but the lines can be long. All three times that I have come to this location, not once did I wait more than 15 minutes. I was surprised on how short the lines were. The people that tested my vehicles were also very nice. This testing facility is located right next to Falcon Field Airport in Mesa. It is a bit of a drive if you live in the central part of the Valley. Maybe that is why the lines are shorter. But this station has definitely given me a better attitude about car emissions testing. Thanks for the good quick service.

Outstanding Service, Patience, and Customer Care! I want to…read morerecognize the outstanding service I received at ADEQ Emissions Testing Station M16 in Apache Junction. I brought my 2004 Mercedes-Benz C240 in for an emissions inspection three times. The vehicle initially failed because I had recently replaced the battery, which cleared the computer memory and the required emissions monitors were not yet ready. What could have been a very frustrating experience turned into a positive one because of the people working at this station. On every visit, the team was patient, professional, courteous, and willing to explain what was happening. I never felt rushed or treated like I was simply the next vehicle in line. I especially want to recognize the station manager, Sam. She went above and beyond by providing me with a website where I could find the proper drive cycle for my Mercedes-Benz C240. That information made a real difference. I followed the drive-cycle instructions, returned for my third inspection, and the vehicle passed. I really appreciated that Sam and her team didn't just tell me the vehicle failed and send me on my way. They helped me understand why it failed and gave me useful information about what I could do next. That kind of customer service can save someone a lot of frustration, time, and potentially unnecessary expense. After three visits, I can confidently say the excellent service wasn't a one-time occurrence. The M16 team treated me with the same patience and professionalism every single time. Thank you, Sam, and the entire M16 team. Your patience, knowledge, professionalism, and willingness to help are greatly appreciated. This is exactly the kind of public service that deserves to be recognized. I highly recommend the M16 location!

We headed to the one closest to our next destination which is off Raintree and Northside. You must drive up to a gate where you will take a ticket. Follow the road to the building where smog checks are done. We didn't even wait 10 minutes before our turn came up. Staff motioned us to drive forward when they were ready and took our ticket. The staff has you turn off your engine and restart it again. You are asked to leave your car running and to leave the car momentarily. There are small rooms for customers to wait while the test happens. It took maybe 3 minutes at most. We paid the test fee, passed the test and drove away. Smog test results are sent electronically to MDV. All we need to do is renew the registration. Staff are super efficient.

Apparently, I wasn't the only one who saw that, because several of us showed up to find the doors very much closed. Since these aren't government-run sites, I was surprised they weren't open, especially when so many other businesses were operating that day. That said, I returned later and had the pleasure of being helped by Frank. He was a senior gentleman like myself, and let's just say he operated at a smooth and steady 0.1 miles per hour. But you know what? I appreciated it. He was clearly doing his very best, taking his time, and making sure everything was done properly. At one point, he was mopping the cement floor with a mop, which I don't judge at all however, I did find it a bit unexpected during the process! Because of the slower pace (and the brief housekeeping intermission), my lane took a little longer than the others. Thankfully, I wasn't in a rush and was able to wait patiently. In the end, kindness goes a long way. Frank may move at his own speed, but he was respectful and doing honest work. Thank you, sir, for your effort and dedication. Being a kind human really is what matters most.
