What Are Auto Inspections & Emissions Tests and Why Do They Matter?
State vehicle inspections and emissions tests are mandatory safety and environmental assessments required by law in many states. These inspections evaluate critical safety components like brakes, lights, steering, and suspension, while emissions testing ensures your vehicle meets environmental standards for air quality protection.
Failed inspections can result in registration renewal denial, hefty fines, and most importantly, put you and other drivers at serious risk. Regular inspections also catch potential problems early, preventing costly breakdowns and ensuring optimal vehicle performance.
