THIS PAST JUNE OF 2016, I HAD TO TAKE A CAR IN FOR AN EMISSIONS TEST.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, AND EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD BEEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS AND DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION, WE JUST COULDN'T GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OFF.

THE CAR WAS A 1996 TOYOTA AVALON SE, WITH OVER 260,000 MILES ON IT.

THE CAR WAS VERY MAINTAINED, WITH TOYOTA AND NAPA REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR ANY REPAIR WORK DONE.

THE POLICY FOR THE TESTING FACILITIES IS THAT YOU HAVE TO FAIL THE EMISSIONS TEST THREE TIMES, THEN YOU CAN APPLY FOR A WAIVER, SO THAT YOU CAN PASS THE EMISSIONS TEST AND RECEIVE YOUR LICENSE RENEWAL FROM THE ILLINOIS SECRETARY OF STATE.

A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IS AN AUTOMATIC FAILURE FOR AN EMISSIONS TEST WITHIN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

YOU HAVE TO SPEND AT LEAST $450.00 IN ENGINE REPAIR WORK, WITH VERIFIABLE RECEIPTS, FROM REPUTABLE AUTO REPAIR SHOPS, TO BEGIN THE PROCESS FOR GETTING AN EMISSIONS TEST WAIVER.

THE FACILITY I VISITED IN THIS VIDEO IS IN THE 1800 BLOCK OF WEST WEBSTER STREET.

ON THAT DAY, WHICH WAS A SATURDAY, THE LINE STRETCHED FOR BLOCKS.

ACCORDING TO THE ILLINOIS EPA, ALL ILLINOIS EPA EMMISSIONS TESTING FACILITIES WITHIN THE CHICAGO CITY LIMITS WILL BE CLOSED BY DECEMBER OF 2016.

THE NEAREST ILLINOIS EPA DRIVER'S TESTING FACILITY ON THE SOUTH SIDE THAT IS FULL SERVICE IS IN BEDFORD PARK, JUST TO THE SOUTH OF MIDWAY AIRPORT.

A HEADS UP SO THAT YOU KEEP ROLLING GOOD PEOPLE.
