AirCare is a vehicle emission testing program.
Newer cars are retested every two years, but the test costs nearly twice as much.
Moreover, in newer cars, the emissions test involves reading some computer data which the car's ECU itself has collected. This is called an On Board Diagnostic inspection and is the standard test for 1996 and newer vehicles in the US.
This test costs the same as an actual emission test.
In spite of AirCare, there are plenty of vehicles roaming the Lower Mainland which give of noxious fumes. Diesel trucks spew volumes of black smoke, as do older transit busses, ironically. Older cars spew blue smoke, betraying worn engines that are burning oil. Traces of incomplete combustion can be smelled driving behind others.
What is AirCare for, if it doesn't weed out these vehicles?
Aircare renewed until 2020
[edit ]I deleted the section about Aircare being cancelled, as there were no sources included, and Aircare was renewed until 2020 so that section was obsolete. Jozsefs (talk) 19:03, 20 August 2011 (UTC) Reply

For University project at UBC, Bio 345, User:Johino and I reworked this page which originally consisted of only a lead. We re-worked the lead and added several sections in order to provide more information on the topic. Please feel free to continue editing. Asolo8 (talk) 07:26, 8 April 2016 (UTC) Reply
