State inspections are crucial for two main reasons: safety and emissions control. They ensure your vehicle meets minimum safety standards for components like brakes and lights, reducing accident risks. Additionally, inspections help control emissions, ensuring your car’s environmental impact remains within acceptable limits.

DMV stands for Department of Motor Vehicles. It’s a government agency responsible for registering vehicles, issuing driver’s licenses, and administering vehicle-related laws, including state inspections.

At Integrity 1st Automotive, our inspection process is efficient and thorough. It begins with a 10-15 minute document review, followed by a 15-30 minute road test. Next, we conduct a 15-20 minute physical inspection, examining both the exterior and interior. Finally, our technicians spend 30-45 minutes inspecting the mechanical and electrical components under the hood. This comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of your vehicle is carefully examined, providing you with confidence and peace of mind.

If your car fails a state inspection, you’ll receive a report outlining the specific issues that need to be addressed. You’ll then need to get those repairs done before a follow-up inspection to pass. The timeframe for repairs can vary depending on the severity of the problem.

Here are three common types you might encounter:

Pre-Purchase Inspections: Done by a mechanic before you buy a used car, checking its overall condition.
