Missouri State Motor Vehicle Inspections
Auto Go is certified by the Missouri State Highway Patrol to perform state required vehicle safety inspections. We have four licensed inspectors on staff and that means that unless there are people here before you, there is usually no wait. Due to the nature of the inspection process, we do not take appointments for inspections. They are done on a first-come-first-serve basis. We can do inspections on motorcycles too!
DOES MY VEHICLE NEED AN INSPECTION?
Your vehicle will need a safety inspection for the following reasons:
You just purchased a USED vehicle
You are bringing a vehicle in from out of state
Your tags are about to expire and you need to renew
There have been some new rules just put onto effect regarding inspections and one is all vehicles newer than 5 years old do not require an inspection. Most inspections are good for two years. Odd model year vehicles get inspected on odd years and even model years get inspected on even years. The exception to this rule would be for the conditions above. For more information or questions on this topic, please contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles.
WHAT DO YOU CHECK???
While it would be extremely time consuming to list EVERYTHING that is checked during a safety inspection, here are SOME of the things that we most commonly find that cause vehicles to fail the inspection.
Windshield cracks or breakage
Exhaust leaks, missing catalytic converter
Loose, worn, or damaged steering and suspension components
Severely worn brakes
Severely worn tires
Horn inoperative
Windshield wipers severely worn or damaged
Exterior light bulbs out (ex. Brake, head, and turn signal lamps)
These are NOT the only things that are checked during a safety inspection. For more information please visit the Missouri State Highway Patrol Motor Vehicle Inspection Regulations here.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
The average inspection will take approximately 20 minutes. Some take a bit longer, but it will take at least 20 minutes provided there is noone in line before you.
