It is a ZIP of working households with more vehicles in the driveway than most of Washoe County, and plenty of trucks among them. The questions that come up here are practical ones: which vehicle tests which way, and how to keep a stack of renewals straight. ## At a glance - About 20 minutes to Reno South (4993 Longley Ln) and 21 to Reno Northwest (6100 Mae Anne Ave). - 2.36 vehicles per household, against 1.96 for Washoe County (ACS 2020-2024). - Gasoline vehicles test at any weight; the weight decides the method. - Drive in with no appointment, Monday to Saturday. ## Down Sun Valley Boulevard Most of Sun Valley leaves by Sun Valley Boulevard, then picks up US 395 and I-580 south for Longley Lane near the Reno-Tahoe airport, about 20 minutes in light traffic by OpenStreetMap routing. Reno Northwest on Mae Anne Avenue is about 21 minutes, by McCarran Boulevard or I-80 west. With a single minute between them, the trip you are already making that day should decide. Expect weekday traffic to add 10 to 20 percent to either drive. ## The driveway count The Census Bureau's ACS 2020-2024 estimates count 23,016 people in 7,214 households in the 89433 ZIP code area. Vehicles per household come to 2.36, and 73.8 percent of households have two or more, well above the county figures of 1.96 and 63.1 percent. The mean commute is 26.1 minutes and 71.4 percent of workers drive alone. More vehicles means more renewal dates. A practical system: tape a card inside a kitchen cabinet with each plate and its expiration month, and test each one in the first half of its 90-day window. ## Cars, pickups and heavier trucks Nevada tests gasoline vehicles of any weight, but the weight changes the test. A light-duty vehicle, gasoline up to 8,500 lb, from 1996 or later gets the OBD II plug-in test through the port under the dashboard. Heavy-duty vehicles, 8,501 lb and up, and anything 1995 or older get the two-speed tailpipe method (DMV). A diesel up to 14,000 lb GVWR is tested too; for a diesel, a motorhome or a large truck, call the service center before you bring it. For an older work truck with a check engine light that just came on, the DMV says a loose gas cap is a common cause. The [gas cap and quick fixes](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/faq/gas-cap-and-quick-fixes/) page covers what to check before you drive over. ## On the day - Reno South hours: Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm, Saturday 8 am to 3 pm, closed Sunday.
