Understanding Vehicle Emissions Systems and Why They Matter
How Emissions Systems Work to Protect Our Environment
Your vehicle's emissions system is designed to control the release of harmful pollutants produced during the combustion process. This sophisticated system includes the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, EGR valve, EVAP system, and PCV valve—all working together to reduce your carbon footprint and keep Salt Lake County's air cleaner.
The Impact of Emissions on Local Air Quality
Utah's unique geography, particularly in the Salt Lake Valley, makes proper vehicle emissions critical for maintaining air quality. During winter inversions, emissions can become trapped, affecting everyone's health and well-being. By maintaining your vehicle's emissions system, you're not just complying with state regulations—you're helping protect our beautiful mountain air.
When Emissions Problems Need Immediate Attention
If your check engine light is illuminated, you're experiencing reduced fuel efficiency, or your vehicle is producing unusual exhaust odors, these could be warning signs of emissions system issues. Prompt attention from our experienced technicians can prevent more costly repairs and ensure you pass your next emissions test.

Routine Car Care
Expert Emissions Repair Services
Catalytic Converter Diagnostics and Replacement
A failing catalytic converter is one of the most common causes of emissions test failures in Salt Lake County. Our skilled technicians can quickly diagnose converter issues and provide efficient replacement services when necessary, using high-quality parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications.
Oxygen Sensor Testing and Replacement
Faulty oxygen sensors can significantly impact your vehicle's fuel efficiency and emissions levels. Our team is equipped to test and replace these crucial components, restoring proper fuel mixture control and ensuring your engine operates efficiently while meeting emissions standards.
EVAP System Leak Detection and Repair
The Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) prevents fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. When leaks develop in this system, they can trigger the check engine light and cause emissions test failures. Our specialized equipment can detect even minor EVAP system leaks, allowing for precise repairs.

What Our Customers Say About Our Emissions Services
"After trying numerous other shops in the Salt Lake valley, this is the only place I'll take my car. I've been going to Jones for 5+ years and never had a bad experience. Critically, I trust them. There have been many times where they could have fibbed and charged me extra for work that didn't need to be done, but they've always been honest. They save me money and keep my car running great. Couldn't be a happier customer."
by Tyler Kroll
"I've been having my cars fixed here for 30 years. Back then it was owned by Bob Jones Goodyear. When they transferred ownership, Chester the shop manager, stayed on with the new owners. He transferred over the culture of honesty, integrity and doing quality work. I've sat in their lobby and listened to them do the right thing for their customers so many times. I have referred many friends here as well. If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic who does great work, this is your place."
by Erika W
"THERE ARE STILL GOOD, HONEST MECHANICS IN THIS WORLD! I've been taking my car to these guys for years, and on two separate occasions they've diagnosed and fixed an issue without charging me a dime. I've recommended them to friends and family, and they've also taken care of my 5k maintenance. Stop searching for other mechanics and trust these guys with your car. You won't regret it!"
