There were four lanes open and each had three to four cars waiting. I got into the shortest line - three cars and as soon as I pulled up, the first car left. I probably waited five minutes before I was in line to be tested. The test has gotten shorter over the years, probably due to improved technology. You still have to get out of the car so they can complete the test and it was mighty cold out that day. They have an enclosed room where you can wait, but I was not offered the chance to go inside. I imagine it's because the test is so fast now. The car passed inspection. The person who did the test thanked me for coming by - she was very pleasant. This location also has a place where you can renew your plates. My plates are still up to date so I didn't have to go inside but I have used them before and was pleased with their service.

Not sure why this location closed down, but I am so happy it is open. And another wonderful surprise is that they have a self-testing kiosk. I decided to give it a try since it was 5:50 pm and no one was there. Overall, the entire process took about 5 minutes from start to finish. Apparently there are only three of these self-testing kiosks in the Chicagoland area and this location is one of them. The other two are located at: 9901 S. Martin Luther King Drive, Chicago, IL - Illinois Secretary of State Chicago South Facility 2560 W. Cermak Road, Chicago, IL, As I was not sure what to expect on using this self-testing kiosk, I was glad no one was behind me. I always bring my emissions test notification with me whenever I go in for testing, and I am glad I had it with me as you need it. The self-testing kiosk requires you to enter the VIN number and fortunately there is a barcode that allows you to scan it in instead of manually entering it. You are going to have to connect your car to the self-testing kiosk using the cable attached to it. This is to be connected to your vehicle's Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC). I know where mine is located because I have watched the technicians plug into it. That said, you can go to YouTube to see if there is a video for your vehicle type. You can also read your owner's manual, but I don't actually keep that in my car. If you have never located your DLC, do so before hitting up the self-testing kiosk so you know exactly where you are going to be connecting your car to. The nice thing about the self-testing kiosk is it is open 24/7, so you can go anytime you wish. And while the self-testing kiosk is great, I am not sure how fast things will go if there are multiple folks waiting to use it, or if they are not fully prepared for the experience. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and again I am so happy this location is open again for business.

This newish 1 year old emissions testing station is great.  It's actually closer for me than the…read moreLincolnshire location I regularly used in the past (because it was always quick despite being a bit of a distance away) and to boot this one has a new self testing kiosk.  I wanted to try the self testing kiosk and it was wonderful and I was done in 5 minutes.  Apparently there are only 3 of these self testing kiosks in Chicagoland.  I had to wait a couple of minutes for 1 car ahead of me which was nice and there was also no one behind me which helped to alleviate any pressure from a first time visit.  The 4 regular lanes were pretty quick looking also for what that's worth with maybe only a couple cars in each lane at about 1pm on a Monday. Here are a couple of pro-tips if you want to try the self testing kiosk.  First, bring the test notification with you so you can simply scan the code instead of doing a lot of typing of your VIN when you register.  Secondly, look at YouTube, and make sure you know where the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) is on your car.  Mine was deep under the dash by my parking brake and I never looked down there before, but sure enough there it was.  You don't want to be fumbling around looking for it for the first time while in line.  There is only one self testing kiosk, and if there are 3 - 4 cars in line, it may not be worth the wait, but the kiosk is available 24/7 which is a big plus for some I'm sure.  Overall, great experience, and this will be my go-to location for my future emissions tests.

I got mail the other day informing me that my plates were due to expire soon, which necessitated a trip to the nearest Illinois Air Team to (hopefully) give my ride a clean bill of health. I visited the one in Joliet at noon on a Friday when the estimated wait time was 4min. The emissions tech was nice; that job must get old in a hurry, so kudos to him for staying upbeat and getting me on my way. There's a small side building off to the right where you can renew your license plate sticker, and that's where I headed. Five people were in front of me, one of whom was arguing with an employee over their failed emissions test. Hey man, it's not THEIR fault your car is a jalopy held together by air fresheners & bungee cords! This guy got pretty worked up and the mood in that tiny space became tense, at best. Should you choose to get your sticker here instead of through Secretary of State, they'll charge a $9.50 credit/debit card transaction fee. Since plastic is the ONLY thing they accept, there's no way around this surcharge of ten bucks (by say, writing a check or paying in pennies). * TL;DR * This review could be broken into two parts: the actual emissions test, and the license plate sticker renewal process. The first part was great, a solid 5*. The second part took a while and drags the overall down to 4*. That side building gets surprisingly hot in the summer, and I'm not a fan of the whopping $10 processing fee....I have enough taxes and sh*t in my life, I could do without this. Aside from those quibbles, this emissions testing site is just fine.
