You pay $100 co-pay and the program pays up to $900 toward repairs and guarantees your vehicle will pass emissions testing. Additional repair costs above $1,000 are the responsibility of the vehicle owner.

Step 3:  Return your vehicle to any emissions testing station and pass your emissions test. Some approved repair facilities may even do this for you — be sure to ask!

Opting Out

If a repair facility provides its diagnosis and you decide not to proceed with repairs, you will be charged a $75 fee for diagnostic services to the repair facility. Your vehicle will no longer be eligible to participate in VVRP until the next time you need to register your car in Arizona.
