Illinois recently strengthened its emission control requirements, and instituted more stringent testing procedures. As a result, many vehicles that previously passed the mandatory test for emissions now fail.

Maintaining the Champion commitment to provide service and advice based on the latest information, we have completed training classes in the new IM 240 emission laws.

Additionally, we have invested thousands in the latest portable test equipment that measures a vehicle’s emissions in much the same way the state test facilities do. We take emission readings at highway speeds, not sitting in our repair facility.

Did you know the test procedures at the Illinois Air Team facilities use a computer-controlled dynamometer that actually runs your vehicle up to 56 miles per hour? That’s why Champion uses portable equipment that can measure emissions at highway speeds.

Due to our successful completion of training, and investment in equipment, Champion is an Illinois Certified Emission Control facility. One more reason to choose Champion for your critical auto, truck and recreational vehicle service.

Our customers benefit because there is less chance for error. We have to get it right the first time to maintain our certification. Our training, experience and portable test equipment lets us do just that.

Proper maintenance of all vehicles to meet emission standards is something that benefits us all. Champion is proud to help.
