About Vehicle Inspections
Vehicle inspections play an important role in maintaining safety, compliance, and proper vehicle maintenance. Depending on your situation, an inspection may be required annually, during vehicle registration renewal, when transferring ownership, or when obtaining insurance coverage.
During every inspection, our technicians follow a detailed checklist to evaluate your vehicle’s condition. If a vehicle does not meet inspection standards, we explain the findings clearly and outline available options. In some cases, retesting may be available depending on governing guidelines.
Emissions Inspections
Emissions inspections are designed to reduce harmful pollutants and protect air quality. Because vehicles are a major source of emissions, many areas require testing to ensure vehicles meet environmental standards.
Our emissions inspections evaluate key systems related to emissions output and compliance. If a vehicle does not pass inspection, repairs may be required before it can be legally operated. Our team is happy to explain the process and help you understand any findings.
Safety Inspections
Safety inspections are required in certain states or situations to ensure vehicles operated on public roads are safe. These inspections examine multiple vehicle systems to identify potential hazards before they result in breakdowns or accidents.
Our safety inspections evaluate vehicle components under the hood, inside the cabin, underneath the vehicle, and on the exterior to ensure everything meets required safety standards.
