Where do you guys get your emission test done at in brampton/mississauga area?

You don't need to go where any other BMW driver goes as there are no Group Buys on Drive Clean tests.

Just pick a place using this link: http://www.driveclean.ene.gov.on.ca/...&newSearch=yes

Any Canadian Tire can do it. Used them in the past, no issues. Fairly standard stuff.

Your car can be on the floor, makes no difference. They plug into your obd port which is right beside your hood latch under your steering wheel.

Doesn't matter where you go. All follows the same procedure and is the same price. It's all regulated from the government.

It depends on what year the car is. There is still an emission test for older cars with no OBD-2 port, but it is not on rollers.

The link I posted explains what test is done for that car. But the important thing is that no cars are put on rollers for the test anymore, so it does not matter how low the car is, as long as you can get it in the test center.

They should just charge extra for renewing the plate sticker, and scrap this program altogether. Save everyone the time for this tax.
