A state vehicle inspection is a service that examines a vehicle's tires, fluid levels, belts, lights, wipers, battery, hoses, and other components to ensure compliance with safety and emissions regulations. These inspections are required periodically and may be necessary for new vehicles, registration renewals, and title transfers. Regular inspections help maintain vehicle safety and performance, making them essential for both personal and commercial vehicles. Each state has specific inspection requirements, so it's important to have your vehicle inspected according to local regulations.

A state vehicle inspection involves the examination of a vehicle’s tires, fluid levels, belts, lights, wipers, battery, hoses, and other components. State vehicle inspections are required periodically to ensure that all vehicles in-use comply with safety and emissions regulations. Regardless of age, regular vehicle inspections are recommended for commercial vehicle fleets, cars and trucks.
Motorists may need to get vehicle inspections routinely over the lifespan of ownership. New vehicles receive an inspection, and vehicle registration renewals can also trigger the need for another inspection. Inspections are also required when a vehicle title transfers between owners.
Each state has different inspection requirements and exemptions, which is why Mavis service centers conduct vehicle inspections on a state-by-state basis.
Your vehicle must be inspected routinely as determined by the specific state where the vehicle is registered. There are other signs that may indicate you should have your vehicle inspected:
Your dashboard chimes with the check engine light, or the dials on your dash display unusual readings
You hear strange sounds coming from any part of your vehicle, especially grinding or other metal-on-metal sounds
You experience strange or sweet smells inside or outside your car after you turn off the engine
You notice oil leaks or see excessive exhaust smoke
The engine won’t start, or stalls while running
Your gas mileage suddenly seems less efficient
Your car pulls from side-to-side when driving, or feels unexpectedly bouncy or turbulent
If you’re buying a used vehicle, scheduling a pre-purchase inspection can help put your mind at ease. Used vehicle inspection reports can help a potential buyer know the condition of a vehicle before purchasing.
Our technicians begin with a visual review of the vehicle, and then complete technical measurements for vehicle emissions. Finally, they may perform additional tests to ensure that the vehicle operates as expected.

Honestly, I always have great experiences at the Mavis Horseheads store. Staff is funny and communicates everything quickly and efficiently. They don't make me feel pressured into purchasing things and they answer all my questions with thorough explanations. They seem like they genuinely enjoy their jobs which is a rarity these days. Since changing from Mr.Tire to Mavis I have been really, really happy with everything from services to staff and pricing. 10/10
