What to Do If Your Car Fails Inspection

If you want to drive your car around, it needs to pass inspection. If your car fails its inspection, you need to fix any issues as soon as you can. Fortunately, the Chevrolet service center here at Wilkinson Automotive can help you get your car back into top shape.

What Happens During an Inspection
When your car is inspected, a mechanic takes a close look at a variety of systems and parts to make sure that your car is running safely. Your tires, lights, glass, brakes, and a wide array of other Chevy components are examined to make sure that they are in good shape. Things that could cause you to fail an inspection include:
• Worn tires
• A horn that doesn’t work
• Large windshield cracks
• Missing rear- or side-view mirrors
• Cracked headlights or taillights

Your car will also be examined to ensure that it’s not producing excess amounts of exhaust and emissions.

Many of the above issues are obvious safety hazards, but remember that you can fail inspections for more surprising reasons. Some common causes of failed inspections include wiper blades that are not operational and windows that are too darkly tinted.

If you do fail your inspection, you should be told exactly why. Then our Chevy mechanics can help you fix the problem. Whether it’s a major issue like a problem with your brakes or something minor like a broken taillight, we have the knowledge and new Chevy parts that you need to get your vehicle back into top shape.
