What is VVRP?

The Vehicle Repair and Retrofit Program (VVRP) is a state-funded program from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) that helps eligible vehicle owners cover the cost of emissions repairs in Tucson and across the state. If your car failed its emissions test and you meet the income and vehicle requirements, you could receive up to $900 in repair assistance.

At Champ’s, we specialize in VVRP emissions repair in Tucson, and we’re proud to be an ADEQ-approved repair facility. We follow OEM service procedures and use quality parts to ensure your vehicle meets emissions standards — without cutting corners.
