Virginia State inspection
State Inspection Costs:
The cost of a vehicle state inspection is $12 for motorcycles and $20 for all other passenger vehicles, SUVs, pick-up trucks, trailers, and motor homes.
How Long Will an Inspection Generally Take:
Many folks postpone getting their annual inspection until the end of the month it is due. If you want to miss the high volume (and longer wait) times, we recommend you come in mid-day and mid-month, and plan to spend about an hour for your inspection.
What is Included in an Inspection:
A basic Virginia state inspection (you can see the details at the Virginia State Police) consists of testing the following items:
-
Headlights and exterior lights, including turn signal lights and the identification light on your license plate
-
The horn, rear and side-view mirrors
-
The windshield, window glass, windshield wipers, and front and rear defroster
-
The hood latch, engine belts, and fluids
-
The steering and suspension systems and floor pan
-
The driver’s seat airbags, seat belts, and doors
-
The fuel and exhaust systems, and air pollution controls
-
All four tires, wheels, and rims
-
Brakes and parking brake
Emission Inspection
What is an emissions test?
A vehicle emissions test, or smog check, measures the levels of emissions released by your vehicle. Emissions tests make sure vehicles are in compliance with state and federal regulations.
How much does an emissions inspection cost?
An emissions inspection costs $28 per vehicle. If your vehicle requires re-inspection, there is no charge for a retest at the same inspection station if you return within 14 days.
What happens if I fail my inspection?
If your vehicle fails inspection, the inspector will provide you with a Vehicle Emissions Inspection Report and an Emissions Repair Data Form detailing the required repairs. You will have 14 calendar days to repair any problems and get the vehicle retested.
A failed vehicle must be repaired and retested until it a) passes inspection or b) qualifies for a waiver.
Repairs can be performed by anyone anywhere. However, only repairs performed at a Certified Emissions Repair Facility by or under the approval of a Certified Emissions Repair Technician will apply toward a waiver.
If your vehicle has failed multiple inspections and the required repairs meet or exceed the waiver threshold ($850 as of 2019), you can apply for an emissions inspection waiver.
All Virginia Tire & Auto locations are Certified Emissions Repair Facilities, so you can get your car repaired and retested without it ever leaving the parking lot
