VEHICLE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE
The AirCheckTexas Drive a Clean Machine Program is designed to help vehicle owners comply with vehicle emissions standards by offering financial incentives to repair or replace vehicles, and allows local residents to contribute to the regional air quality solution.
If your vehicle is registered in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, or Tarrant County and your vehicle has failed the state emissions inspection within the past 30 days, you may be eligible for a repair voucher up to $600 toward emissions repair assistance. For a limited time, if your vehicle meets certain requirements, you may be eligible for a replacement voucher up to $3,500 toward a qualifying replacement vehicle. Please use the links to the right of this page for the income guidelines and vehicle requirements that apply for assistance.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION
NOTE FOR REPLACEMENT VOUCHER RECIPIENTS: On September 1, 2011, new replacement vehicle requirements were implemented due to legislative changes made by the 82nd Texas Legislature. If a replacement vehicle is purchased on or after September 1, 2011, the requirements must be followed. These details are included in the replacement voucher envelope.
For repair or replacement assistance, a voucher must be presented to a listed participating repair facility or dealership at the time of the emissions repairs or vehicle purchase. No reimbursements are allowed if emissions repairs or vehicle purchase are made prior to receiving a valid voucher or used at a non-participating facility.
