    Inspection FAQs

    How often do I need a vehicle inspection?

    In Virginia, most vehicles require an annual safety inspection to ensure they meet the necessary safety standards. If your vehicle is subject to emissions testing, that is usually required every two years, but it's important to check local guidelines.

    What is included in a state vehicle inspection?

    During a state vehicle inspection, our technicians will check various components, including brakes, tires, headlights, windshield wipers, seatbelts, exhaust systems, and other safety features to ensure they meet state requirements.

    What happens if my vehicle fails an inspection?

    If your vehicle fails the inspection, we will provide a detailed report outlining the issues and offer repair options. Once the necessary repairs are completed, we can re-inspect the vehicle to ensure it meets state standards.

    Why do I need emissions testing?

    Emissions testing ensures that your vehicle is not releasing harmful pollutants into the environment. Regular emissions checks help improve air quality and keep your vehicle compliant with state environmental laws.

    How long does a vehicle inspection take?

    A vehicle inspection typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the condition of the vehicle and whether any repairs are needed. If repairs are necessary, additional time may be required.

    Exhaust System and Catalytic Converter FAQs

    What is a rough idle?

    A rough idle indicates that your engine is not firing correctly when the vehicle is in park. Your car’s RPMs should be consistent between 600 and 1,200, and if they aren’t, this may indicate an issue with the exhaust or engine systems.

    Why is smoke coming from my tailpipe?

    Thick smoke coming from the exhaust could mean that the fuel-to-air ratio is too rich. This might be caused by a cracked fuel injector or a clogged air filter, resulting in excessive fuel consumption.

    Can I drive with the catalytic converter light on?

    While you can drive with the catalytic converter light on, it is not advisable. A clogged catalytic converter can lead to serious engine damage and increased emissions. It’s best to bring your vehicle in for an inspection if the light is on.

    What causes the catalytic converter light to come on?

    The catalytic converter light typically comes on if the converter is clogged, cracked, or melted. Other causes might include exhaust leaks or issues with the fuel system, which prevent gases from being properly filtered.

    Testimonials

    Here's what our customers have to say about Car Repair Service

    Good service and a reasonable price. My AC was kaput. I didn’t want to drive back to VA and took it to the local mechanic in MD state. The local mechanic was clueless and was not able to fix it (three attempts and wasted $$$ and my time) until I took the car to this shop. They have a good mechanic and solved he issue right away. Highly recommend. It was worth the effort to drive 35 miles away to get my car fixed properly
