Why Do I Need a PA State Inspection?

There are a number of reasons your car needs to be inspected regularly. Mainly, however, it's to make sure your vehicle is operating safely by the state’s standards.

A PA state inspection near you can help determine what additional services might be required. So, if you’ve noticed an operational malfunction or failure, you should have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible.

These inspections are also required by the state. In order to avoid any legal troubles out on the road, you need to have a regular inspection performed and have it marked on the windshield of your vehicle.

    What Is Done During a PA State Inspection?

    You won’t find a more comprehensive assessment of your vehicle than a PA state inspection. Performed by factory-trained and certified technicians at your local auto dealership, these inspections check every aspect of your vehicle, from its interior and exterior conditions to its mechanical operations. It even takes your and your vehicle’s information into consideration.

    So, let’s dive a bit deeper into what’s actually checked during a PA state inspection near you. A sample of the components our technicians will check includes:
    •    Engine
    •    Brakes
    •    Steering & alignment
    •    Chassis
    •    Tires & wheels
    •    Mirrors
    •    Electrical and lighting systems

    Typically, a PA state inspection also involves an emissions test to determine if there are any dangerous pollutants coming from the exhaust. During an inspection, your vehicle’s exhaust, muffler, and fuel system will also be examined.

    Now, we mentioned that an inspection will include the vehicle and the driver’s information. Everything from your vehicle’s title and registration to your proof of insurance will need to be up to date and present in order to pass the inspection.

      Can You Fail a PA State Inspection?

      Yes—it isn’t uncommon that your vehicle will fail its regularly scheduled PA state inspection. However, there’s no need to worry in the event that it does.

      If your vehicle fails a PA state inspection, it’s likely that it needs some form of maintenance or repairs. So, if it does fail, you’ll need to have the required services performed before you can have it re-inspected.
