Are Vehicle Inspection Stations Closed on Weekends?
2 Answers
Vehicle inspection stations are closed on weekends, as vehicle management offices generally observe a two-day weekend. Definition of Vehicle Management Office: A vehicle management office is a direct subsidiary of the public security system, primarily responsible for handling motor vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and deregistration. These offices are typically established at the county level or higher administrative regions. Supervision of Positions: Each motor vehicle and driver's license service position in the vehicle management office has the obligation to supervise the work of the previous position. If any issues are found—such as questionable procedures handed over from the previous position, violations of regulations in processing services, or non-standard filling of certificates and forms, or failure to sign and stamp as required—they should be reported to the supervisory position. The supervisory position must immediately investigate and handle the matter, keeping a record of the resolution.
From the perspective of someone who has been driving for many years, let me talk about vehicle inspection stations being closed on weekends. Generally speaking, motor vehicle inspection stations are routinely closed on Saturdays and Sundays, just like regular workplaces, as employees also need time off. This is mainly because inspection workloads are heavy, and regulations stipulate that concentrating inspections on weekdays is more efficient. If you urgently need to get your vehicle inspected, don't wait until the weekend to go, otherwise you'll waste your time making a trip for nothing. Personally, I'm in the habit of checking the opening hours of local inspection stations online a week in advance, as some larger cities may have rotating duty stations or appointment systems. If you fail to get your vehicle inspected on time, insurance companies may refuse claims, and you could also face fines. It's advisable to schedule your vehicle inspection on a weekday and avoid peak times to get it done more easily.
