VA Vehicle State Inspection
Fast and Friendly Yearly State Inspections
Titan
Please note: Effective July 1, 2019 the new fee for the Virginia State inspection will increase from $16.00 to $20.00. Gov. Ralph Northam signed HB 2514, which increases vehicle inspection costs from $16 to $20. Shops that offer Virginia Safety Inspections will pay 70 cents back to the Virginia State Police to support its inspector training program.
Let’s face it, no one likes getting their car or motorcycle inspected every single year. Nevertheless, it is something we all have to do in the state of Virginia. The reason for these inspections is safety. The inspection covers various areas of your car. Regardless, having your vehicle inspected once a year is always a good idea and recommended. One of the few exceptions to this rule is if you own a vehicle that is over 25 years old and registered as an antique with the DMV. Titan Tire& Auto in either Moseley or South Chesterfield, VA is a certified state inspection center. Virginia State Inspections cost $12 for a motorcycle and $16 for all passage vehicles. Walk-ins welcome or call (804) 524-9115 to schedule an appointment.
Pre State Inspection
There are a few things you can do and check before you have your vehicle inspected to make sure you will pass. Below is a check list, if you find any problems, have them fixed prior to a state inspection.
Things to Check Before a State Inspection
New To Virginia?
If you have recently moved to Virginia before you can register your vehicle you will need a state vehicle inspection. The only exception to this rule is if your vehicle was inspected in a qualifying state within the last 12 months. IF you have any question feel free to call and ask. You can also refer to the New To Virginia DMV page for extra information.
