Is Your Car Approved for the Road?
To help keep our roads safer for all drivers, North Carolina mandates that your vehicle pass a safety inspection each year. Scheduling your yearly car inspection is the responsible thing to do not only for your safety, but also financially, as if you get caught with an uninspected car you can be subjected to several fines. Since Greensboro, NC sits in Guilford County, some vehicles will be required to pass an emissions inspection that is conducted during your safety inspection.
During your safety inspection, our technicians will assess your:
• Headlights & Taillights
• Accessory Lights
• Signals
• Foot Brake
• Parking Brake
• Steering Wheel
• Wipers
• Tinted Windows (only if applicable)
If your vehicle is older than 35 years, you will be exempt from an annual safety inspection.
Emissions Inspection
The purpose of this inspection is to ensure that your vehicle is compliant with standard air quality requirements set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. We’ll perform an on-board diagnostics test at the same time as your annual safety inspection.
This inspection is no longer an annual requirement for some motorists. Light-duty vehicles that are less than three years old, have fewer than 70,000 miles, were manufactured before 1995, are diesel-operated, or are registered as farm vehicles are exempt.
