Does Ohio Require an Emissions Test?

Emissions testing is required in some counties of Ohio, including Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Medina, Portage, and Summit. If you are unsure about your requirements, our service advisors can help you determine whether an emissions test is needed along with your safety inspection.

While Sheffield Village itself is not in an E-Check county, many drivers commute from nearby areas where emissions testing is required. Whether you need safety inspection only or both tests, Montrose Kia can guide you through the process.

Why State Inspections Are Important

Regular vehicle inspections help ensure:

• Your Kia is safe to drive
• Brakes, tires, and suspension are in proper condition
• Safety systems like lights and airbags work correctly

A failed inspection doesn’t have to be stressful—our technicians can complete the required repairs and re-inspect your vehicle the same day in most cases.
