Virginia State Inspections

Ensuring your vehicle meets Virginia's safety standards is not only a legal requirement but also a crucial step in maintaining the safety of you and others on the road. Regular vehicle inspections help to:

• Detect and address potential safety issues before they become major problems.
• Ensure your vehicle operates efficiently and reliably.
• Prevent costly repairs by identifying issues early.
• Protect the environment by ensuring your vehicle meets emissions standards.
• Keep you compliant with state laws, avoiding fines and penalties.

What Gets Checked During the Inspection?

Our comprehensive Virginia state vehicle inspection ensures your vehicle is safe and roadworthy. Our certified technicians will examine the brakes for adequate lining, proper function, and fluid levels. They will check the tires for tread depth, wear patterns, and pressure, and verify all exterior lights are functioning correctly. The condition of windshield wipers and the effectiveness of the wiper system will be inspected, as well as windows and the windshield for cracks, chips, and proper visibility. The steering components and suspension systems will be assessed, and the exhaust system will be checked for leaks and compliance with emissions standards. Seat belts will be verified for condition and functionality, mirrors will be ensured to be intact and properly adjusted, and the horn will be confirmed to be operational and audible. Finally, the fuel system will be checked for leaks and security.

When Should You Get an Inspection Done?

In Virginia, vehicles are required to undergo a state inspection annually. It’s important to schedule your inspection before your current inspection sticker expires to avoid any penalties. Additionally, if you’re purchasing a used vehicle or if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, it’s wise to have an inspection done to ensure everything is in proper working order.
