At Accu Auto Care LLC, we help our Hagerstown customers' cars run as cleanly and efficiently as they possibly can. We provide a range of emissions testing services to ensure that your car is running and driving its best, as well as complying with all local smog regulations. Should a problem arise with any of your vehicle's emission systems, we provide the parts and expertise to get you back on the road. Accu Auto Care LLC can replace mufflers/catalytic converters, refill diesel exhaust fluid, and make sure the full range of filters in your vehicle's exhaust system are working perfectly.
Regulators understand that older cars simply can't meet modern emissions standards without extensive modifications. For newer cars however, passing a smog test is a requirement of road legality. Call us at 301-665-9180 to learn more about the emissions requirements for your vehicle.
Emissions testing (also known as smog testing) is a vital part of the maintenance of your vehicle. E-tests provide your mechanic with important information about your car's engine and exhaust system. If important components, like your car's catalytic converter aren't working properly, the car isn't running as it was intended to by the manufacturer. Inefficiency costs you extra money in fuel and does unnecessary harm to the planet. Emissions testing can also affect the value of a vehicle you're trying to sell; while you can still sell a car without a valid e-test certification, you'll get more money for one that has passed the test.
There are several reasons that a car may fail its emissions test. There may be a problem with the vehicle's fuel system adding too much fuel to the air-fuel ratio required for proper combustion within the cylinders of the car's engine. This is known as "running rich" and results in the smell of gasoline from fuel passing through the engine and exhaust system without being fully burnt. Causes of this issue range from faulty fuel injectors to issues with the engine's control computer. There may also be problems with oxygen sensors or the vehicle's ignition system. At Accu Auto Care LLC, we use a complete set of diagnostic equipment to determine the problem and fix it quickly, explaining every step of the process to you, our valued patron. Call us at 301-665-9180 or send us an email to arrange a health check for your car's emissions system today!

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I haven't had a "go-to" mechanic since my last one retired. My wife's car had a few issues that piled up so I decided to give this place a call based on the large amount of positive reviews and location from our home. They were able to find the issues quickly, kept me informed through out the process, and made sure we were okay with the plan before moving forward. I found Eugene and Andy to be very honest with their diagnosis and recommendations, and found the pricing very reasonable for the quality of work done.
When I sensed the battery in my wife's car might be going bad, I took her car to Eugene at Accu Auto Care, LLC. He's been a friend and automotive ally for years and a consummate professional, not to mention he's honest and trustworthy to the core! Honesty says a lot about ones character and I can say without prejudice that Eugene and his friendly staff are 100% honest! Guaranteed! I've taken my cars to him thinking they needed one thing or another and he said no. I don't believe that's necessary or it can wait until the next time you come in. How many mechanics are that honest? Anyway, he tested the battery and confirmed it needed to be replaced, gave me an estimate and ordered the battery (the price was reasonable given the car required an auto stop/auto start battery). His son Andy worked with me to schedule a time to take the car in and have the battery replaced while I waited. As always, Eugene and Accu Auto Care, LLC, earned another 5 star review from me. Thanks Eugene, Andy and staff. I see you again, I'm sure.
