State Inspections in
Smithfield, NC

Annual state inspections are more than just a legal requirement—they’re a critical step in keeping your vehicle safe, reliable, and efficient. The North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles requires most vehicles to undergo a yearly safety inspection, and vehicles in certain counties must also pass an emissions test. These inspections help identify potential issues like worn brakes, faulty lights, or excessive emissions before they become serious hazards. Ignoring or delaying inspections not only puts you at risk of fines or registration holds but can also compromise your safety and that of others on the road.

At North Carolina Auto Solutions, we understand the importance of a seamless and accurate inspection process. Our certified technicians conduct detailed checks of your vehicle’s major safety components, including brakes, steering, lights, tires, and more. For eligible vehicles, we also perform OBD emissions testing to ensure environmental compliance. Because we’re AAA-approved and CARFAX-certified, you can trust that every inspection is completed to the highest standards. If repairs are needed, we’ll explain your options clearly and help you take the next steps with confidence. Our goal is to make the process smooth, transparent, and efficient—so you can get back on the road without worry.
