Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Virginia state inspection cost?
The state-mandated fee for a safety inspection is set by Virginia law. We charge the standard rate with no hidden fees. If your vehicle also requires an emissions test, that is a separate fee.
What happens if my car fails inspection?
If your vehicle fails, we'll explain exactly what needs to be repaired. You have 15 days to complete the repairs and return for a free re-inspection at the same station. We can handle most rejection repairs right here.
How long does an inspection take?
A typical safety inspection takes about 20-30 minutes. If emissions testing is also required, allow a bit more time. We do our best to get you in and out quickly.
When is my inspection due?
Virginia inspections are due by the last day of the month shown on your inspection sticker. Driving with an expired sticker can result in a fine, so don't wait until the last minute.
