There is one permanent emissions testing center in Sumner County which is
located off of Highway 31-E south of Gallatin. This is across the street from
Volunteer State Community College. The address is 951 Grassland Place, Gallatin.
There are also permanent testing stations in Murfreesboro, Franklin, Lebanon and
six in Davidson County which you are free to use.
The station in Gallatin is open from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on
