Self-Service Kiosks
Two self-service emissions testing kiosks are available in Chicago. These offer motorists the opportunity to self-test their own vehicle as an alternative to the traditional vehicle inspection stations and at a time convenient for their schedule. The first kiosk is in the parking lot of the Forest Preserve inspection station at 6959 W. Forest Preserve Drive. The second kiosk is located at 2560 W. Cermak Road.
The process is easy, fast, and requires no special knowledge of vehicles or testing processes. Software screens step users through the test and provide detailed instructions on how to complete the inspection process.
On this website and at the Kiosks, an instructional video (in English or Spanish) is available that shows you how to prepare for, perform, and complete your vehicle emissions test at a Kiosk. The Kiosk itself offers audio or text in in English or Spanish to step you through the testing process. Click here to view the video. (Para ver en español, haga clic aquí.)
