Vehicles registered in the Denver metro area and the North Front Range need an emissions test. Gas vehicles are exempt for the first seven model years and are then tested every two years, and diesel vehicles are exempt for the first four model years. A seller in the program area must give the buyer a passing emissions test at the time of sale. Details are on the Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles site.

A court can triple the damages when a shop breaks the Act. Read the rule.

Lows drop to freezing on about 155 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over.
