There are several different types of vehicle inspections. For example, some counties in the Bay Area require an inspection before you can register your vehicle.

Why would you pay for an inspection when you don’t need to? There are a few good reasons to schedule an inspection. A thorough inspection can catch issues before they become major problems. You don’t have to wait for your upcoming 12-hour drive to get an inspection, though. Having a trained professional inspect your vehicle yearly will avoid more expensive repairs and keep your vehicle in working order. During an inspection, our technicians will check all major components of your vehicle, including: Headlights, brake lights, and turn signals Windshield and wipers Mirrors Tire tread and pressure Brake system Battery Suspension Alignment Fluid levels Belts and hoses While you can certainly check some of those things yourself, it never hurts to have a trained eye look over your vehicle.
