If you want to drive your car or truck around legally, it needs to pass an inspection. The RAM service center here at Hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM of Virginia Beach can help you with that. Here's a look at what an inspection entails and how our mechanics can assist you.

What a RAM Service Inspection Checks

An inspection has two primary jobs. First, it ensures that your vehicle is operating safely. You need to be sure that your car isn't going to be a danger to you, your passengers, or other people who share the road with you.

An inspection also requires a check of your truck's emissions system. A malfunctioning emissions system causes your vehicle to create more pollution, and that means that you can't operate it until it's fixed.

How often you need an inspection varies from state to state. Virginia requires you to visit a mechanic for an inspection once per year, so keep an eye on that sticker in your window and schedule an inspection when your current one is ready to expire.

Common Causes of Failed Inspections

There are many ways that your truck can fail inspections. Common safety issues that cause failure include:

  • Worn out tires
  • Brake problems
  • Large windshield cracks
  • Broken or missing mirrors

If you fail an inspection, the problem that caused you to fail needs to be fixed. Lucky for you, the mechanics at our service center can help you with that. We have the official Mopar® and RAM parts you need, and we can get your RAM truck back into top shape in no time.
