Vehicle Inspection
Description of Vehicle Inspections
Vehicle inspections help to regulate proper vehicle maintenance.
They also contribute to safe driving conditions.
A vehicle inspection may be required annually before a driver renews vehicle registration, or during the sale and transfer of a vehicle.
As a vehicle inspection station, we adhere to a specific set of guidelines that outline our inspection standards.
These guidelines go over important inspection items and describe the inspection methods we follow when determining whether a vehicle is fit for the road or in need of maintenance.
For each of our vehicle inspectors, the main priority is to ensure that the vehicle is both well-maintained and equipped for highway use.
All of our vehicle inspections are performed in complete compliance with the regulations set forth by governing parties, and we may provide drivers with a full checklist of approved items after the service is complete.
Benefits of Vehicle Inspections
An inspection can identify potential vehicular problems early and save you time and money down the road as a result.
We are equipped to handle a variety of vehicle inspections.
During every inspection, our service staff uses a series of quality checkpoints to determine whether your vehicle should be deemed safe for highway operation.
If your vehicle happens to fail a quality checkpoint during the inspection process, you may be entitled to a retest depending on the guidelines that regulate vehicle inspections in your area.
If you have questions about our vehicle inspection certification or licensing, or if you are ready to schedule an inspection, please contact us online or by phone.

Customer Testimonials
We stand by our work.
The owner John is very knowledgeable and the whole staff is friendly. I came for an oil change and to have my tires serviced (rotation, alignment and balance) because I thought they needed it. John told me I didn’t need service to my tires and they rode very well; no need to spend the money on a service that wasn’t needed. We all know many establishments would try to push a service for a dollar so his honesty is appreciated. Reasonable pricing and great service. Highly recommend! Services: Tire rotations, Oil change

Since 2003 I have entrusted all my vehicular repairs and maintenance to John and his team at C & D Auto Service. In that time I have referred my family and friends to this shop. You are in safe and steady hands with John.

I had slow leak from a nail puncture and I was told by another tire shop that run flat tires could not be fully patched. He said it would cost $75 for a temporary fix but he recommended replacing, so I bought another tire online. [...] Thomas did such great work that it was not a temp fix at all and basically let me know the other place did not know what they were talking about. I have had no issues with the tire and its been over 3 months. He also said the repair came with a lifetime warranty so this place is all good in my book. Highly recommend. Service: Tires
