At MAC's Auto Repair & Sales, we provide comprehensive Missouri vehicle state inspections to ensure your car meets all state safety and emissions standards. Missouri law requires most vehicles to pass a state inspection every two years to remain road-legal. Our certified mechanics are equipped to perform these inspections efficiently, checking key components of your vehicle to guarantee that it’s safe for you and other drivers on the road.
What Is Included in a Missouri Vehicle State Inspection?
A Missouri state inspection covers two main areas: safety and emissions. Our expert team carefully inspects your vehicle to make sure it complies with all legal standards, keeping you safe and helping you avoid fines or penalties.
Safety Inspection
The safety inspection involves checking several critical systems and parts of your vehicle, including:
- Brakes: We inspect your brake system to ensure proper functionality and that the brake pads, rotors, and calipers are in good condition.
- Tires and Wheels: Tire tread depth, air pressure, and overall condition are checked to ensure your tires meet safety standards.
- Lights and Signals: We test all your vehicle’s lights, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals, to make sure they’re working correctly.
- Steering and Suspension: We examine the steering and suspension systems for wear and damage, ensuring your vehicle handles and rides safely.
- Windshield and Wipers: The windshield and wipers are checked for cracks or chips that may obstruct your view, and wipers are tested for proper functionality.
- Seat Belts: We inspect seat belts to ensure they are working correctly and will provide adequate protection in case of an accident.
- Other Safety Systems: We also inspect other key components like mirrors, the horn, and any safety features like airbags to ensure everything is in working order.
Emissions Inspection
If your vehicle is registered in certain counties, an emissions inspection is also required. This test checks the amount of pollutants your car emits to ensure it meets environmental standards. Our team will use diagnostic equipment to measure the emissions levels and verify compliance.
Why Is the Missouri State Inspection Important?
The Missouri state inspection is mandatory for most vehicles registered in the state, but it’s more than just a legal requirement—it’s an important part of keeping your car safe and roadworthy. Regular inspections help catch issues early, like worn brakes or tire problems, which can prevent accidents and more expensive repairs down the road. The emissions test also ensures that your vehicle isn’t contributing excess pollution, helping protect the environment.
What Happens If My Vehicle Doesn’t Pass?
If your vehicle fails the state inspection, don’t worry! We’ll provide you with a detailed report explaining why it didn’t pass and the necessary repairs. Once the issues are resolved, we can perform a re-inspection to get you back on the road as quickly as possible. We are happy to assist with any repairs needed to bring your vehicle up to standard.
