Maryland State Inspections & Vehicle Inspections in Columbia, MD

Whether you’re new to the State of Maryland or have recently purchased a pre-owned vehicle, you’re required to have a Maryland State Safety Inspection.

This requirement applies to virtually all types of vehicles, including any pre-owned or used:

  • Cars
  • Trucks

Our mechanic will provide you with a Maryland Inspection Certificate when your vehicle passes the inspection.

You will be required to produce this Certificate to register your vehicle with the Maryland Vehicle Administration. And for your convenience, we can also send an electronic e-inspection directly to the MVA.

A Few Frequently Ask Questions About Maryland State Inspections:

How Long Do The Inspections Take?

According to the MVA, most safety inspections should take about an hour and a half to perform for most vehicles.

At Columbia Auto Care & Car Wash, we pride ourselves on offering the best Inspections. Because we use the latest and most advanced equipment coupled with three certified Inspectors, we can often perform multiple vehicle inspections making your wait time as minimum as possible.

In the event you do need transportation, we offer two convenient options:

What Happens If the Vehicle Fails the Maryland State Inspection?

If your vehicle fails the vehicle inspection, the Inspection Certificate can’t be issued. Even if it’s only one safety issue, the problem must be repaired or remedied before you are issued a completed Certificate.

In either case, it’s best to have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. At Columbia Auto Care & Car Wash, our experienced ASE-certified mechanic offers a full range of automotive repairs for vehicles that fail the inspection.

When you have the vehicle repaired and reinspected within 30 days after the original inspection date, and you haven’t driven more than 1,000 miles, we will only be required to inspect the equipment that triggered the original failure.
