What Happens During A PA State Inspection?
While it may seem like an inconvenience to take your vehicle in for an inspection every year, Pennsylvania law requires annual state inspections for all registered cars. These inspections are designed to determine the roadworthiness of your vehicle, decrease accidents, and keep drivers from driving dangerous cars that could potentially endanger lives. After scheduling your PA state inspection, our team of ASE-certified mechanics will thoroughly inspect and evaluate the following components to ensure that they meet Pennsylvania safety inspection requirements:
- Suspension Components
- Steering Components
- Safety Components
- Exhaust Systems
- Fuel Systems
- Braking Systems
- Lighting and Electrical Systems
- Evaporative Emission Control
- Tires and Wheels
- Glass and Windshield Wipers
- Defroster
- Mirrors
- Windshield Washer Fluid
- Odometer and Speedometer
- Turn Signals and Warning Devices
- Body of Vehicle
- Vehicle Chassis
Additionally, an emissions inspection might also be required depending on which county you reside in. Upon completing your state inspection, you will be given a certificate that you will need to register the vehicle with. If your vehicle fails inspection, one of our service advisers will be available to answer any questions you may have, explain why the car didn’t pass the inspection, and suggest possible solutions. After the repairs are performed, the vehicle will need to be inspected. Our goal is to ensure that your car, truck, or SUV is optimal to pass its annual inspection. We want to make the process as simple as possible for you, and we will gladly assist you with any repairs and maintenance if any issues arise during the inspection.
