Can Vehicle Annual Inspection Be Done on Weekends?
2 Answers
Yes. Inspection institutions implement an uninterrupted system on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, providing extended inspection services. Definition: According to national regulations, motor vehicles must regularly pass inspections including exhaust emissions, vehicle appearance, lights, brakes, chassis, etc. Upon meeting all requirements and having no violation records, an inspection compliance label will be issued. All annual inspection dates are based on the registration date listed on the vehicle license. From the date of initial registration, motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections within the specified periods, commonly referred to as "annual inspection" or "annual review". Purpose: Vehicle annual inspections help promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
The inspection station near my neighborhood is open on Saturdays. Last time I went there on a Saturday morning, it was quite empty and the process was quick. However, not all stations operate this way, so it's best to check the local DMV website or call them to confirm the hours. Some places require appointments on weekends, so don't waste a trip. For example, my relative in the county area has an inspection station that's closed on Sundays. It really varies by location, so it's best to check in advance.
