Can I Get My Car Inspected on Saturday?
2 Answers
Policies vary by region, but currently most areas allow vehicle inspections on Saturdays and Sundays. Here are the new regulations for vehicle annual inspections in 2021: Exemption Scope: The exemption scope for motor vehicles has been expanded from the original 6 years and under for vehicles with ≤6 seats to now include non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats. Inspection Cycle: Vehicles exempt from inspection can avoid on-site testing for the first 6 years, only requiring procedural processing every two years. For years 6-10, inspections are required annually. According to the new policy, the inspection cycle for private vehicles remains unchanged for the first 6 years, while vehicles aged 6-10 years will change from annual inspections to biennial inspections. This means exempt vehicles will have biennial inspections within 10 years, with only the 6th and 8th years requiring on-site testing.
Can I get my car inspected on Saturday? As a regular car owner, I often schedule inspections on weekends because I'm too busy during weekdays. Many 4S stores and repair chains in the city are open on Saturdays, usually from 9 AM to 4 PM, but this depends on local policies. Before going for an inspection, I recommend checking the local traffic management website or calling to confirm business hours, as some places require advance appointments to avoid queues. Vehicle annual inspections or safety checks should not be taken lightly, such as checking if the brakes and lights are functioning properly. Delaying these inspections can lead to safety hazards or traffic fines. Choosing Saturday saves time, but remember to bring all necessary documents like your driver's license and vehicle registration, and ensure your car is clean to avoid a wasted trip.
