State Inspection Quick State Inspection Services to Keep Your Vehicle Safe and Legal

A state inspection typically includes a visual and functional check of brakes, tires, lights, wipers, steering, suspension, glass, seatbelts, and, in some cases, emissions-related systems. The exact items depend on the rules in your state. Our mechanics follow the current checklist to ensure your vehicle meets these standards.

Check that all your lights work, wiper blades are in good shape, your horn works, and there are no warning lights on the dash if your state requires an emissions or OBD check. Bringing current registration and proof of insurance, where required, can also help the visit go smoothly.

In many areas, a check engine light will cause your vehicle to fail the emissions part of the inspection. We can scan the vehicle, explain the cause of the light, and recommend repairs to help you pass the inspection. Rules vary by state, so we will let you know how they apply to your vehicle.

If your vehicle fails, we will explain the reason, show you the problem when possible, and provide an estimate for the necessary repairs. You can choose to have the work done with us or elsewhere. Once the issues are fixed, your vehicle will need to be reinspected to receive a passing result.

Most state inspections can be completed in a single visit, often while you wait, depending on the shop’s workload and whether your vehicle requires repairs. We recommend setting an appointment when possible so we can plan time for your vehicle.
