An official Virginia inspection station

Virginia requires an annual safety inspection to keep drivers, passengers and pedestrians safe. As an official inspection and emissions station with a dedicated bay, we make it smooth and efficient.

Inspection hours: Mon to Fri 8am to 6pm, Sat 8am to 3pm. Most inspections take 30 to 45 minutes, and you can pair one with an oil change or a detail while you are here.

What a safety inspection covers

Our inspectors thoroughly review the essential safety systems on your vehicle:

  • Brakes, for stopping power and wear
  • Tires and suspension, for tread depth and stability
  • Lights and signals, front and rear
  • Windshield wipers and mirrors, for clear visibility

Emissions testing

Emissions testing may be required based on your vehicle’s type, age and location. Older or gasoline vehicles may need an emissions test to monitor pollutants, while many newer and electric vehicles have different requirements. We will let you know what your vehicle needs.

Make the most of your visit

While you are here for your inspection, add a detail or a complimentary hand wash and vacuum, and keep your car safe, clean and road-ready all in one stop.
