OK. Set aside your annoyance with emissions when looking at my 5 star review because no one wants…read moreto do it and curses to TN for requiring it! BUT. This was seriously my shortest wait EVER... and while I have to give myself credit for most of it (waiting until the week before the end of the month AND getting there at 11:15) I still gotta give the staff at this locations some mad props because they were fast, efficient, and I like that this location is removed from highly retailed areas, I believe allowing for faster service and less wait time. PLUS if you go to http://www.nashvillevip.org/ you can check out the current wait time with video. So as soon as I saw the wait time was 3 minutes around 10:45, I hopped in my car and INCLUDING travel time I was gone for 30 minutes, I was at the emissions location for under 15 minutes. Seriously. Crazy. Most efficient station I've visited!!

But that was ridiculous!!

And apparently I chose the one where the guy didn't care how long it took him...he dilly dallied ...talked to people took a few breaks...and had to pull his pants up about a million times... A belt would have fixed that problem!!!! Anyway, its done until next year!!!

The employees in this locations are not the most friendly but they are straight to the point an efficient and that's what is the most important to me.

I really shouldn't be writing this review. Really. After I went and shared the secret about the…read moreMadison location of the Davidson County Clerk, y'all went and messed it all up. Last time I went there, I had to loop around for parking, I engaged in no pleasant conversation and I waited a half hour. As soon as I hit 'send' on that review I regretted it and experience has borne that feeling out to be the correct one. So why am I engaging in the same sort of self-sabotage? I dunno. I must be a glutton for punishment. I don't quite believe that everyone has to undergo a smog check before getting to renew their license/vehicle registration. With the amount of loud revving, black-smoke-kicking-up Mad Max vehicles I see in Middle Tennessee, either I am the only one falling for this scam or there are a lot of people driving illegally -- because there's no way those cars passed inspection. So, back to Dickerson. This smog station is a welcome respite from the long lines and bad attitudes of other ones. If you live out east, you should be coming here. Actually, if you live in Davidson County, you should be coming here. It's worth the drive. Even though the wait has increased (slightly) in the four years I've been coming here, it's not as bad as other locations. And the wait comes from the amount of cars, not from the techs -- all of who have been kind, efficient and speedy. Come with cash, your papers and a (relatively) clean car and you should be in and out in under ten minutes. As long as vehicle emissions are a thing (and considering it's 90 degrees in October, it should be a thing), you should try and make the process as efficient and painless as possible. That's this location. It is. At least, it is now. Please don't mess up a good thing. I don't want to have to have a 'talk' with you about this a year from now...

They have you in and out in only a few minutes, so the wait isn't long even if there's a line.

You don't need to provide your vehicle registration renewal paperwork; they simply scan your vehicle's VIN number. Credit cards accepted.

The initial inspection however doesn't take long at at. My review is low because during both visits the staff was rude. It's so loud in there that they expect you to hear them from a distance, then get mad when you don't. They are very snappy which I understand they want to get done quickly and get you moving but it's not necessary.

I failed the second time because my codes hadn't reset yet. After the dealership cleaned the valve, they told me to wait 4 days to take it back so that the codes could reset. I think the general misconception is that if you drive your car for a certain amount of miles or time, the codes reset automatically. I learned from this experience that each vehicle is different when it comes to reseting the codes. I suggest looking in your owner's manual or googling your make, model and "reset codes." For me, I had to make sure the gas tank was about 3/4 full, drive for 20 minutes between 50-60 mph, drive for 10 minutes at 20-30 mph and push the accelerator (in park) at 2000 rpm until the temperature gauge is at 1/3. The employees here are nice enough, but having to go through emissions testing just straight up sucks. As another reviewer mentioned, nobody really wants to be here. That's so true. Since emissions testing is inevitable, I suppose this location is good. It's the only one I've been to so far. Just be prepared to wait a while. (I came at the end of the month which probably didn't help.)
