Default Georgetown "E Test"

Where is a good place to get my Vette "E tested" in and around Georgetown?
Looking to get this done tomorrow so I can get my plate sticker.
Should pass with no problem.

Mark, the Goodyear on Guelph street does it as does the tire shop a few doors down ( I used them but can't recall the name). Jamie likely knows as he used the same place I think. knowledgeable, nice guys. Almost corner of Guelph and Armstrong I think????

Mark, Vette's do not go on rollers.... ensure they only do a 2 speed idle test. If they insist on putting it on the rollers go somewhere else where they know how to do emissions tests.

Is it if your trying to cheat the system you don't want to run the rollers?? (serious question.. not playin)

Last time I had mine done I stopped in to Gm prior to doing it. They said there is absolutely no issues running the C5's on the rollers..
I've never had an issue. C6's maybe a different story tho.

Mark, disable the traction control by pulling the fuse....with the light on and unable to dis-engage they won't dare run it on rollers. Then take it to Cdn tire and go out with the tech to the bay and watch it run.

You just disable T/C on your dash like you would any other car with it. Now if your car doesn't have that-then you avoid the rollers.

Do you know of places in the north part of the city? I assume this is acceptable to the MTO?

I had my ex C5 (now Mark's) done on the rollers at a St Catherines Saturn dealer.Absolutely no issues.Great service.The guy couldn't believe the numbers were so low.He thought he had issues with his test equipment.I used to get my ex Corolla, ( 2011 Cruze now)mother-in-laws Corolla & wife's car done there.Excellent service,no appt req'd,but alas,as all Saturn dealers,he's gone.

Wilf, Still the same almost 2 1/2 years later. The guy was amazed how low the numbers were.
I went to the Canadian Tire in Georgetown, Didn't need an appointment. they were great.
Maybe now that it's "E Tested" I should sell it and pick up a Red C6 I have my eye on in Wine Country.
