Can I Get My Car Inspected on Weekends?

Car inspections are not available on Saturdays and Sundays. The required documents for individual car inspections are: original vehicle license, duplicate of compulsory traffic insurance, copy of ID card, and the vehicle. For corporate car inspections, the required documents are: original vehicle license, duplicate of compulsory traffic insurance, organization code certificate of the People's Republic of China, power of attorney, copy of the agent's ID card, and the vehicle. Car inspection refers to the annual examination of vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and vehicle licenses, conducted according to the technical conditions for motor vehicle operation safety. The purpose is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, urge the strengthening of vehicle maintenance, keep the vehicle in good condition, and ensure driving safety.

I think this topic is quite practical because my own car just had its annual inspection. Whether you can get an inspection on Saturday or Sunday depends on the location. Some big cities or high-traffic inspection stations might offer services on Saturdays, but they’re usually closed on Sundays for rest. Last time, I went to a local inspection station on a Saturday morning—they only worked half a day, and I got it done quickly with just a short wait, which was very convenient. However, it’s best to call ahead or check the official website for specific hours to avoid a wasted trip. Many places now support online appointments, and if fewer people go on weekends, it might be faster—but it could also be busier if everyone chooses weekends. Remember to bring your vehicle license and ID, and check your car’s condition in advance, like brake lights, to avoid repeated trips. Safety first—after driving for a long time, it’s important to maintain your car well.

I know a thing or two about vehicle inspections, as I deal with them quite often. Typically, car annual inspections might be open on Saturdays, but they are almost always closed on Sundays. Most inspection stations choose to operate on Saturday mornings or all day to accommodate working professionals. However, this isn’t absolute—it varies by region. For example, some small towns might be closed all weekend. I recommend checking the local transportation bureau’s website or calling their hotline for confirmation. Nowadays, many apps also provide real-time information. If weekends aren’t an option, you can take time off on a weekday or ask a friend to help. Letting your car inspection expire could result in a fine, so don’t delay. Also, before the inspection, make sure your headlights, taillights, and tire pressure are all in good condition to pass in one go—it saves a lot of hassle. Regular maintenance helps prevent issues down the line.

As someone who drives frequently, I have some insights on vehicle annual inspections. The feasibility of getting an inspection on weekends varies by location—some stations are open on Saturdays, but most are closed on Sundays. I recommend checking directly with local authorities, such as via WeChat mini-programs or official websites, for operating hours. If weekend inspections are possible, arrive early to avoid peak hours and minimize wait times. Remember to bring all required documents to prevent wasted trips. Vehicle inspections are crucial—expired inspections not only incur fines but also affect insurance claims. Maintain your car in advance, regularly check the braking system for safety, and avoid repeated hassles. Safe driving starts with attention to detail—don’t cut corners.

I'm usually too busy with work and can only handle these chores on weekends. Whether car annual inspections are available on Saturdays and Sundays depends on the situation—most cities offer services on Saturdays, but they're generally closed on Sundays. Last time I went on a Saturday, there weren't many people, but I'd recommend making an appointment in advance to avoid long queues. If you're unsure, check the local transportation website or call to confirm—don't waste gas money like I did on my first attempt. Don't delay your car's annual inspection; overdue inspections can result in fines and safety risks. Before going, check tire pressure and lights—minor issues like these can often be fixed on the spot. Weekend inspections can save time, but planning ahead is the safest bet. Safe driving comes first, and regular maintenance prevents future problems.
