dearle Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Does anyone know of a mechanic shop in the lakeside area that is approved to do emissions testing and provide the government sticker? They are trying to get serious again in GDL. Just simpler to get it done. I go into GDL. regularly and don't need the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exyyz Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 CONTROL VERIFICATIONCALLE ZARAGOZA #375 CHAPALA CENTROPHONE (37) 67 65 21 41 There was some discussion on another thread about emissions testing not being available until October, however, I got mine done there this morning for 300 pesos. Not surprisingly, my car that is only 4 months old passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not correct. My plate ends in 7. There is a chart on the wall of the emissions testing area as well as on the back of the offical Jalisco receipt stating "terminacion de la placa 7, Agosto".

Cortland Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I had to take my car to the dealer In Guadalajara the other day. The last number on the plate is 9. As we are so close to September I asked if I could have the emission test done that day. They told me that I couldn't get it done and should wait until October. Last year I know they did it in September - perhaps they meant that I had to do it somewhere between September and the end of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 It is true that August is the normal time for plates ending in 7. However, testing is temporarily suspended until October, according to other postings on this board and other boards. If in doubt, go the the testing station on Zaragosa and inquire in person.

cedros Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Testing is going ahead at both stations-Chapala and Jocotepec. I had mine done recently. Some days they can't do it because of technical problems-no internet, equipment malfunction, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joco69 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Its simple in Chapala, you don't pay if you don't pass, a fair deal. So go and test before making expensive tune-ups it might be worth your money and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Miller Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 We had ours done in Joco yesterday morning (without an appointment); it took about half an hour and cost 350 pesos. According to the last digit on our license plate, testing should have been done in June, which the guy mentioned, but as we explained, the vehicle is new to us and we were just bringing the emissions test up to date. Nice guys, we will go back there next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 No. Coming from the east. When you come to the first traffic light in Jocotepec turn left and follow the old truck route through Jocotepec. Right at the Cuba restaurant onto Vincente Guerro. Continue on this through 3 traffic lights. About a block past the last light (at Independicia) there is a tope. The testing place is here on the right. There is a sign. Next door to a car wash. Across the street from Pepe Pollo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
