Pennsylvania State Vehicle Inspections
In the state of Pennsylvania, drivers are expected to have their vehicles inspected by a certified PennDOT Inspection Station once a year. According to PennDOT Driver & Vehicle Services, "Pennsylvania requires vehicle safety inspections to ensure that vehicles are maintained for safe operation." A thorough inspection helps prevent vehicle failure, lower crashes and injuries, and keep our Central, PA, Southeastern, PA, and Philly Metro drives as safe as possible.
What Does a PA State Inspection Include?
A PA state inspection is a thorough, in-depth look at your vehicle and all its moving parts. Our certified technicians will go over every interior and exterior feature to ensure that it's working properly and in good condition. Some of the items we inspect include:
- Lights and Electrical Systems
- Vehicle Body and Chassis
- Interior Cabin
- Exhaust System and Fuel System
- Emissions Test
- Speedometer and Odometer
- Tires and Wheels
- Suspension, Steering, and Brakes
- And Many Other Vehicle Parts
After the inspection, we'll inform you if anything concerning was found. If it's a repair that's required to pass the state inspection, we'll assist you with getting that item repaired or replaced. If it's something that may be a problem in the future, we can discuss how to maintain the issue. Our team of certified technicians is always available to help you repair, maintain, or take care of your vehicle.
