A safety inspection is required for all Connecticut-owned vehicles 10 years or older and changing ownership. Also, any vehicle from out of state that is 10 years old or older must have a safety inspection, emissions test, and VIN verification before being registered. The Danbury office has an enclosed safety inspection lane. Safety inspections are not done in Norwalk. Older vehicles need to be tested annually.
All emissions test and late fees are to be paid with cash only.
A bigger testing station is at 14 Plumtrees Road, Danbury, with the same hours. State officials say Monday is the least busy day. You can buy salt from a hardware store. There are no 24-hour gas stations in Wilton, but there are many in neighboring Norwalk. The AAA Connecticut Motor Club will come to your house and tow your car if you can't get it out of your driveway, or make minor repairs and slight adjustments, if that's all that's necessary to get your car started.
