    Need to take a ticker to get into this place.
    Valerie M.

    First, besides the suggestion to arrive early i would also suggest you go before the end of the month. And don't take the tips literally because the "left lane" is not the quickest lane. Two lanes open. Two cars before my vehicle gets tested the center lane gets opened and a vehicle that came well after my arrival is directed into the new opening. Poo! 12/20/2022 Basically the same as prior visit. Arrived just before opening and have one car in front of me. Rolled in for actual inspection at 809 a.m. and got back into my vehicle after paying. Finished at 8:14. Quick and easy.

    I went for emissions today and was sitting in line, a technician walked over and motioned me to move over to next lane, so I did. There was a cone there that neither I or the technician saw, so when I ran over it, it got stuck. Two techs came over and began yanking at the cone that was stuck between my tire and the wheel well. They got it out, but not after doing damage to my car. I filed a complaint and am waiting to hear back from the station manager. It is NYE so I doubt I will hear back for a few days.

    I've owned my truck for 7 years and have always brought it to this location for emission testing and never had an issue. For some reason instead of using a jackstand to hold the exhaust hose they failed me stating my stock exhaust is too short for the probe to reach. Job incompetence and laziness cost me time out of my busy work schedule. I took my truck to the 16th street location and they knew exactly how to use the equipment and get the job done and get me on my way. You need to train or replace your lazy employees.

    Emissions Testing ... Fun!

    "Will I pass?" ... the thoughts quickly race through my head as I pull into the Chandler ADEQ vehicular emissions test center. I've been here for over 5 years and the quality of service and speed has improved greatly. Long gone are the days of waiting an hour or two of enduring tedious procedures. The ADEQ really does a great job of simplifying the vehicular inspection while maintaining efficiency. There are 2 test lines, with one express line for cars newer than 1996, however keep in mind sometimes this lane is closed. After waiting 5-10 minutes, With a quick sigh of relief, I drive away soon after, in a painless and convenient experience! The inspection attendance and technicians here are very friendly, courteous and aware of time restraints. They seem to keep everything running like an assembly-line. At other locations, when you drop your car off and leave it with the tenant away from your site, it can be somewhat stressful. The waiting stations near the front row have a Phonebooth-style entry point that allows for waiting. Seated inside is a plastic chair and papers on the wall. I found it to be comfortable and reassuring. The only reason why there are 4 stars out of 5 is due to the front vehicular waiting section. There are only metal chairs available, instead of the Phonebpoth style arrangements provided for the rear section. This is only a minor detail however! Pro Tip: check the online website for wait times! This can be a KEY factor during peak busy times. The website suggests Monday thru Friday at 5pm-7pm.

I arrived on a Thursday afternoon around 3:30pm, took a number and went to the lady by the camera. She was very sweet, gave me the paper I needed to fill out and took my pic. They called my number before I was even done taking my picture so I walked up to the window. Yajaira was assisting me, got all my documents together and scanned in. Unfortunately there was an error with ADOT accepting the forms and the system was asking to scan a document that was not needed. She said the error sometimes happens and they had to call the MVD to clear it out and it could be 30 min or maybe even the next day, but she would call me and let me know as soon as it was taken care of. I did get a call and VM about an hour later saying all was fixed and I was okay to come back. She said if I was coming back that day or the next to just come to her window. The next day they were calling me again, which I thought was odd since she had left such a detailed VM. I answered and she said "I just wanted you to know you'll need to retake your picture." I thought that was so nice! Who wants to have an unexpected DL pic? I definitely did not anticipate having to retake my photo so appreciated the heads up. I returned Friday afternoon just after 5pm. I walked up to her window and she sent me over to get a new pic. By the time I was done she had everything ready to go. I was in and out in less than 10 min. I appreciated the great service!
