One inspection when you register the car and never again.

I don’t need the state telling me what to repair on my car.


Yeah, who needs brakes or tires with tread or lights or...

It depends, as the inspection is subjective. I've failed at one repair shop and then went to my mechanic and it passed with flying colors.

What is the purpose of the database? I've went several years without a safety inspection and never had a problem registering my vehicle.


What? I find that hard to believe. What state?

It must take time to update. I took my dealership "failed" to a garage and they passed it with no repairs. The inspection is pretty much a scam unless your car is shooting smoke out the back.


Did the dealership put a failed sticker on your car?

I need a place that just does a very light touch inspection like lights, tires and brakes and doesn’t try to find things to fail. I am in Mclean Vienna area

Next year you should go to your local garage, sure. But state inspection has a list of functions and they either work or they don't. What does your dealer say isn't working?

I made a mistake of taking my car for a state inspection at a dealership. They hit me with $$$ in bs repairs needed to pass the inspection. Where do you take your cars not to get ripped off?
