An inspection ensures that your car is operating safely and that all of its components and systems are in top shape. The state of Virginia requires an inspection once per year, and you'll know that your next inspection is due when the sticker on your car window is close to expiring. If you're in need of an inspection, the mechanics here at our Toyota service center in Virginia Beach can handle it.
Parts Examined During an Inspection
Just about every part of your vehicle needs to be examined during an inspection. Any part or system that's too worn or unable to do its job can be the reason that you fail an inspection.
Even something minor, like worn-out windshield wipers, can cause you to fail. Other common causes of a failed inspection include:
- Worn out or damaged tires
- Brake problems
- Missing or broken mirrors
- Damaged seat belts
- A car horn that doesn't work
If any problems are spotted and you fail, you need to fix the issues before your car can be cleared for legal operation. Fortunately for you, our mechanics have the knowledge and official Toyota parts needed to get you back up to code.
Emissions Test
That's only the first part of your inspection though. Your car will also need to pass an emissions test. All gasoline-powered vehicles are going to create some pollution, but modern vehicles are designed to limit how much of an adverse effect they have on the environment.
If there's a problem with your car and it's creating more emissions than it should, it will need to be fixed before you can be given a renewed inspection sticker. We can help with that too.
So, if you're in need of an inspection, don't delay. Visit Hall Toyota Virginia Beach and speak to our factory-trained technicians. We'll get you and your car back out onto the road in no time!
