Your vehicle must be inspected routinely as determined by the specific state where the vehicle is registered. There are other signs that may indicate you should have your vehicle inspected:

• Your dashboard chimes with the check engine light, or the dials on your dash display unusual readings 

• You hear strange sounds coming from any part of your vehicle, especially grinding or other metal-on-metal sounds

• You experience strange or sweet smells inside or outside your car after you turn off the engine

• You notice oil leaks or see excessive exhaust smoke

• The engine won’t start, or stalls while running

• Your gas mileage suddenly seems less efficient

• Your car pulls from side-to-side when driving, or feels unexpectedly bouncy or turbulent

Our technicians begin  with a visual review of the vehicle, and then complete technical measurements for vehicle emissions. Finally, they may perform additional tests to ensure that the vehicle operates as expected.

Mavis Vehicle Inspections cover the following:

• Body exterior

• Under the hood inspection, including the engine compartment, transmission, battery, and electrical controls

• Suspension, brakes, wheels, and tires

• Steering

• Clutch

• Exhaust system

• Fuel system

Following the visual and emissions inspection, technicians may offer a short road test as part of the assessment.
