What’s Included in a Maryland State Inspection?
A Maryland state inspection is designed to confirm that your vehicle meets all the state’s safety and emissions standards before it can be legally driven on public roads. The inspection process checks critical components of your car, ensuring everything is in working order to help prevent accidents and minimize the risk of breakdowns.
At Catlett’s, our 100-point inspection includes an in-depth evaluation of the following areas:
- Brakes – Your braking system is one of the most important safety features of your vehicle. We’ll check the brake pads, rotors, and overall performance to ensure your car can stop efficiently and safely.
- Tires – Proper tire condition and tread depth are essential for handling and safety. We inspect all four tires to ensure they’re not only in good shape but also meet the required standards for safe driving.
- Lights and Signals – From headlights and taillights to turn signals and brake lights, we ensure all lights are functioning properly to help you stay visible to other drivers on the road.
- Suspension and Steering – A stable suspension system and responsive steering are crucial for your vehicle’s handling and overall performance. We inspect the shocks, struts, and steering components for any issues that could compromise your safety.
- Windshield and Wipers – Cracks in the windshield or faulty wipers can greatly reduce visibility, especially in adverse weather. We check both the glass and the wiper system to ensure your view of the road is unobstructed.
- Emissions System – Maryland has stringent emissions regulations. Our inspection checks your vehicle’s emissions system to ensure that it is not polluting the environment beyond acceptable limits.
- Exhaust System – A properly functioning exhaust system is essential for your vehicle’s performance and your safety. We inspect for any leaks or damage that could lead to harmful emissions entering the cabin or the environment.
- Battery and Electrical System – Your vehicle’s battery and electrical system are essential for smooth operation. We’ll check the battery, wiring, and electrical components to prevent unexpected failures.
- Fluid Levels – Adequate fluid levels are necessary for optimal engine performance. We inspect your oil, coolant, brake fluid, and other essential fluids to make sure everything is topped off and in good condition.
- Alignment and Wheel Balancing – Poor alignment or unbalanced wheels can cause premature tire wear and unsafe handling. Our team will check and make adjustments to ensure your car drives smoothly.
