I came around 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning and it wasn't much of a line. Woot! I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Service was very professional and quick. The price did go up though. It's $30 now! read more

This is particularly for the Silver Spring location Online states that it's open, and closes at 1pm. It's Saturday, May 24th. However when you get there, the gates are closed and a random guy outside telling everyone the building is closed for the holidays for Saturday and Momday. Excuse me? The holiday is MONDAY, not today. The silver spring emissions office should be OPEN! POOR COMMUNICATION, because the voicemail says it's closed on Saturday (today) and Monday. Who is in charge of communications? Having no time to scramble to go to another location IS NO BUENO!!! read more

Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program Station - Online, voicemail, and the location should be ALIGNED! FIX THE COMMUNICATION‼‼‼ - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the level of professionalism, great communication Service being offered by the representative of this location. into Miss Kaneshia did the inspection on the vehicle and informed me what was wrong and what the next steps were. I had to see John to address the next steps, and the explanation I received removed the stress that surrounds dealing with these matters. Chriss came into the office and followed up. He was the first person I dealt with, and he made sure everything was OK. Hats off to these people, five stars for excellent customer service. Keep up the good work. read more

Service - Quick, no hassle and everyone is working! Quality- I was there for my 2 yr inspection and all went well. I was in lane 1 and this young man was efficient Value- $14 isn't bad for two years and most importantly I passed! Great value to service ratio! Summary- I really like this location because it's not a lot of playing around like some other locations. I've been to the one in Clinton and it's . This is the best location hands, I'd drive here from any area in Maryland as a first choice. read more

Service was quick and efficient. The gentleman that helped me didn't need the sheet that we receive in the mail (but bring it just in case you stumble upon someone who wants to see it). Thankfully the wait times are listed on the MVA site and I'd say they're pretty accurate for the most part. I came early in the morning on a weekday during their first hour of opening up to avoid a longer wait time. Needless to say a handful of others had the same thought. Only two lanes were open, but one lane had two service points. read more

This is a nice location for Emissions Inspection for vehicles. There are ample lanes available and most lanes are generally staffed. This keeps the lines moving at a steady pace. I was able to get my vehicle inspected within 15 minutes and it was a smooth operation. Payment is not contactless so I did have to get out of the vehicle and complete the transaction. The staff was friendly and professional and was able to get the testing done soon. Good option for getting your vehicle inspected in MD. read more

I received a notice in the mail indicating I needed to get my vehicle emissions test. Prior to this I received conflicting notices about getting the inspection. After calling to verify it had to be done before my title renewal in August I found this inspection station online. I called them to ask about the test & was advised not to go to any of the totally automated stations (if there's any problems there's no one to help you). On the morning I went to this inspection station there was a very short line of cars. In just over 5 minutes I was the next one in line. When I pulled up to the test station terminal the attendant gave me a friendly greeting. Keeping my car running I handed him my car title so he could enter my data. I exited my car as directed and paid with my credit card at the pay station. As soon as my payment went through my test was done. He told me I passed and handed me my confirmation receipt! I could not have been any easier! A few days later when the results of this test were available online I completed the renewal of my car title. The total fee for the 2 year renewal was about $120. I received the sticker for my license plate in the mail about 2 weeks later. Until next time be kind to each other. #vehicleemissionsinspection @yelpdc #vehicletitlerenewal #montgomerycounty read more

I was there on Saturday late morning, not a great time for visiting this place. However, it took about 25-30 minutes, even there were 5-6 cars in my line. read more

This is where you go to get your vehicle emissions inspection done. After changing my vehicle registration to Maryland, I got a letter in the mail a few weeks later telling me to come get this test done. I went on a Friday morning and was done in 5 min. Follow the signs directing you to drive around the back of the building, and then there was someone directing me which station to pull into and park. He checked the gas cap and plugged something in to the steering wheel and that was it. He was done by the time I finished paying. They accept cash or credit for the payment. The test is good for two years. My only complaint is that they don't have a closer station for Montgomery county. The drive out to silver spring took much longer than the time it took to get the test done. read more

I visited on a Thursday afternoon, right around lunch time. It was no one waiting. I was able to drive right up to a technician. The entire process took about 10 minutes and I was on my way. The staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

This is where I go to get my emissions test completed. There's never a line on the week day mornings and it takes less than four minutes (if you pass, of course). It's easy to get to off US 29 or from New Hampshire Ave. It's a test station...there's not much more to say. read more

Surprisingly efficient. I came to get my emissions test done on a freezing cold Saturday morning. Thought sure that they'd either be closed due to the extreme cold, or that I would be one of the few brave souls to come out and get my test done on a day like that. No, on both accounts. Not only were they open (the guy who tested my car said that they never close for extreme temperatures), but I had lots of company in line! Don't be discouraged if you see a few cars poking out of the lot at the end of the seemingly long line. Once you get around the curve of the building, there are multiple stations (I think 4 or 5) and they are equipped to handle 2 cars at once (though they are not always doing so). That said, the line moves relatively quickly. You can expect to spend about 20-30 minutes, total, between your wait and your visit. Not too bad. The staff is friendly enough. They aren't much for chit chat, but they'll greet you and get you in and out of there as soon as possible. read more

This is my 3rd time at this location, and I'm always pleased. The wait wasn't too long, and although my big baby (2004 Tahoe) failed emissions, I'd come back to this location again. All the employees are polite and helpful! read more

Rude isn't quite accurate. They don't actually treat you like a person, so I have a hard time explaining how this went. It was brief but, geez. A little customer service goes a long way, folks. read more

Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program Station - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

VEIP has been closed for over two weeks, and this is the first day they re-opened (1/4/2021). The line extended to the entrance, but all stations were open and the line moved quickly. They had an employee directing cars into each of the lines for the testing bays, it was very organized. I was there for about 25 minutes. read more

I like this emissions place. I've had to go twice in the past two months for my cars and I've never had to wait in line. I went once at like 4pm on a Tuesday and last night I went at roughly 6pm. I like that the hours fit working people well. Tues-Wed they are open until 7pm, Mon-Thur-Fri they are open until 5pm. Oh, and until 1pm on Saturday. Drive in, give them your credit card for the $14 fee and you're out in minutes. Lovely! read more

Once every year or two years, you have to get your emissions test for MD. I came to this station on a Thursday morning and was in and out within 5 minutes, no joke. I waited about 2 minutes in line for a bay to open up, then the test itself only took 3 minutes. When I asked the smog check dude if this was normal, he said that Thursday was a good day to come and that they were much busier M-W and Saturday. The test is only $14 here. I remember paying $100 when I first moved to MD because I went to a state-licensed gas station to do the vehicle inspection (which involved more than just emissions, but emissions was the primary thing) -- and I know the gas station also made up repairs that they could tack on... read more

What's the deal with this? I gotta sit in line for 40 minutes so you can "check my emissions" by plugging a cable into my steering wheel? What data are you collecting that can't be determined in the inspection? This is a racket. How is this not a glorified toll/extra tax? read more

Very efficient. Emissions test took 5 mins and if you utilize the "wait webcam" you can time your visit. I went on a weekday morning the last day of the month and had one car in front of me. I tried the automated kiosk at Beltsville and it was slow, could not read my credit card, had to reboot the card reader, had to initialize the wireless OBD reader you attach to your car. Awful experience. After all that, it could not "communicate" with my fairly new Nissan. The OBD reader at the full service site worked fine and I didn't have to crawl under my dash looking for the OBD port just too save $4, LOL. read more

I don't have high expectations for any government service and often these services live up to those expectations. This is one such place. They have 8 to 10 bags. 4 seemed to be open. I got in line. Over the next several minutes multiple cars drove into the open bays and were serviced. I waited. Why no one who saw me there , and all workers did, didn't usher me to an open bay is beyond me. But it's lousy service. $14 for 2 years on an emissions test seems ok. If they could just fix the service. Total time, 20 minutes. read more

Only a 5-minute wait on a snowy weekday around noon. Yay! Credit cards accepted. read more

The other reviews on the site are relevant if your car is newer and no issues arise, as the people outside are indeed acceptable in this scenerio. However, if there is an issue, such as with an older car, good luck! My car failed, and they said they couldn't comunicate with my computer. I replied, why not just check to see how much smog I was putting out, but they told me that was irrelevant. What? It is a car, not an X-Box! When I spent $550 to try to fix my computer with repairs unrelated to my smog at a certified emissions repair facility, they said the repairs were unrelated. WTF?!? If you told me my computer was the problem, then the repairs to the computer should count. All of these discussions were with the guy in the office, who has no reasoning or logic ability whatsoever. read more

While I am not a fan of having to drive all over creation to have my 2 year old Jeep Grand Cherokee smog tested - a total waste of my time and just putting more money in the pocket of the State of Maryland - I drove up and only had to wait 5 minutes before pulling into the bay to get checked. very easy process including easy pay options. read more

What can you write about the vehicle emissions place? I recently visited on a Saturday morning -- one of the busiest times, no doubt. I had to wait for 15 minutes or so but all of the lanes seemed to be open and the line moved at a good pace. When it was finally my turn, I paid and passed my test in just a couple of minutes. You gotta get your vehicle tested and here it's relatively quick and easy. read more

Got hit on today by the two guys checking my car. Extremely unprofessional and made me really uncomfortable.
