One Stop Auto Repair provides official Virginia safety inspections for cars, trucks, SUVs, and other qualifying vehicles. Our inspectors carefully examine the required safety components to determine whether your vehicle meets Virginia’s current inspection standards.


What We Inspect:

  • Brakes: Brake components, fluid levels, possible leaks, and parking brake operation are checked for safety and proper function.
  • Steering and Suspension: We inspect components such as ball joints, wheel bearings, tie-rod ends, springs, shocks, and other steering and suspension parts.
  • Tires and Wheels: Tires are checked for tread depth, damage, and safe condition. Wheels and rims are also examined for defects that could affect operation.
  • Lights and Signals: Headlights, brake lights, turn signals, license plate lights, and other required lighting are checked for operation and condition.
  • Glass, Mirrors, and Wipers: The inspection includes the windshield, required glass, mirrors, windshield wipers, and defroster.
  • Exhaust and Safety Equipment: We check the exhaust system for leaks along with required seat belts, airbags, doors, horn, and other safety equipment.
  • Fuel and Underbody Components: The fuel system, floor pan, engine mounts, and other required components are inspected for unsafe conditions.


If Your Vehicle Does Not Pass:

If we find an item that does not meet Virginia safety requirements, we will explain the issue and answer your questions. Our team can provide an estimate for many necessary repairs, but you may choose where the repair work is completed. All defects must be corrected before the vehicle can pass reinspection.
