Check what your state requires. Some states combine the safety inspection with an emissions test, some require only one of the two, and many require neither. Bring your registration and proof of insurance; most stations work first come, first served, and some take appointments.

Good to know

How much does a state vehicle inspection cost?

Each state sets its own rules: some cap the inspection fee, others let stations set their own price, and emissions testing may be charged separately. Call the station for its current price.

What does a safety inspection check?

Inspections typically cover brakes, lights, tires, steering, suspension, the horn, wipers, mirrors and the windshield; the exact list depends on the state.
