Dalian vehicle inspection lines are generally closed during the National Day holiday. Dalian vehicle inspection hours: Vehicle inspection in Dalian is available from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It is closed on weekends and statutory holidays. However, on the last Saturday morning of each month, there may be overtime inspections arranged by the traffic management department, but inspections are not conducted during rain or snow. Vehicle inspection arrangements in some areas during the National Day holiday: The National Day holiday is a statutory holiday, so vehicle inspections are not available during this period. In some areas, to alleviate inconvenience for working people, vehicle inspections may still be conducted during the National Day holiday. Specific arrangements should be confirmed with the local vehicle management office. Vehicle management offices generally follow the national holiday schedule for closures.
I remember last year during the National Day holiday, I wanted to get my vehicle inspected in Dalian, but when I arrived at the inspection station, the doors were closed. Later, I found out that most stations were closed during the holiday, which made my trip a waste of time. Since then, I've learned my lesson and now I check the business hours in advance on the Dalian Vehicle Management Office APP or call to confirm. If the stations are closed during the holiday, I schedule an appointment right after the holiday to save myself the hassle. Actually, during the National Day holiday, many people are out driving, and the inspection station staff are also on holiday. Occasionally, some small stations might be open, but they are overcrowded. It's much more convenient to go during regular times. I suggest you prepare the same way and don't count on getting it done during the holiday.
I've been driving trucks for many years and often need to go to inspection stations. During the National Day holiday, most of these places are basically closed. The official announcement says they'll be closed for about three days, so it's safest to go on regular workdays. If you're in a hurry to get your vehicle inspected, you might try asking in local Dalian car owner WeChat groups to see if anyone knows about open stations, or directly call the 12345 hotline to check official hours. Don't risk waiting through the holiday—if they're closed, it could mess up your schedule. I usually get my inspection done a week early to make sure my vehicle is safe for the road, especially since there are so many vehicles and people traveling during long holidays. Getting it done early saves a lot of hassle.
