Emission Repair Facility
Report
January 2008
- June 2008
This guide may help you locate emission repair facilities in your area. The information is listed by city, and identifies each repair facility by Name, Address, and Phone Number. It also indicates whether the facility is recognized. In order for a repair facility to be recognized, it must employ at least one technician with advanced emission training and certification, such as ASE L1, WISETECH, or other equivalent training. Additionally, this report tells you how individual repair facilities are doing in terms of getting cars to pass reinspection on the first trip back to the test station.
The column titled "Retests After First Repair" tells you the total number of vehicles retested after the first repair; "Pass After First Repair" tells you the number of vehicles which passed on reinspection after first repair; "% Pass After 1st Repair" indicates the percentage of vehicles that passed reinspection after first repair. The higher the percentage of vehicles passing after first repair, the more success a facility has had in repairing emission failures. In judging the repair facility's success rate, owners should take into account how many vehicles have been repaired by the facility. A minimum number of vehicles repaired and submitted for retest is required.
Details on each facility are based on information provided by the facility itself. The repair information is generated from the completed Repair Data Section located on the back of the Vehicle Inspection Report. It is important that this form is filled out properly by the repair technician and returned with the vehicle at the time of a retest. Please verify that your repair technician has filled out the vehicle repair form before your submit your vehicle for a retest.
You may choose your own repair technician to perform the necessary repairs.

The Repair Facilities Report is a valuable tool that will aid you in selecting a facility that suits your needs. This listing is not a recommendation from the WVIP, it is simply a consumer guide in locating a repair facility. You need to screen the repair facility to ensure they repair your particular vehicle. Remember, it is your responsibility to evaluate each facility as you have in the past. Effective and efficiently performed repairs are vital to the complete success of the Wisconsin Vehicle Inspection Program. While effective inspections are necessary to identify high emitting vehicles, it is only through the repairs that actual air quality benefits are achieved.
