For motor vehicle inspection, the owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and a copy of the valid compulsory traffic insurance are required. Note that a triangular warning sign must be carried in the vehicle. Although fire extinguishers are not mandatory inspection items, it is recommended to have one equipped. Also, ensure that the tire pressure indicator is within the normal green range. If the vehicle is too dirty, you may be asked to wash it. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspection: Implementation of cross-regional vehicle inspection: Within a city, vehicle owners can freely choose an inspection agency for vehicle inspection. Inspection areas or designated inspection agencies should not be divided by urban, suburban, or county boundaries. Cross-regional vehicle inspection is promoted. In provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) that have implemented a unified provincial inspection supervision platform, vehicles other than large buses and school buses can undergo inspection anywhere within the province without needing to complete any inspection authorization procedures. Accelerate the establishment of a unified inspection supervision platform: By December 31, 2014, all provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) should complete the promotion. Trial implementation of cross-provincial (autonomous regions, municipalities) vehicle inspection is underway. After the application of a nationally unified inspection supervision software, vehicle owners can directly conduct inspections and obtain inspection qualification marks at the vehicle's location, except for large buses and school buses.

Last time I had my car inspected in Tianjin, I gained some experience. Every time I go, I remember to bring the original vehicle license, which is essential to prove the car's identity. Also, don't forget the copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, which must be within the validity period, otherwise the inspector will reject it. Additionally, the original ID card of the car owner is necessary. If it's a company car, you also need to bring a copy of the business license. The inspection sites in Tianjin are quite formal. I'm used to preparing these documents and keeping them in the car a day or two in advance to avoid last-minute panic. Car inspection is not just a formality; it can promptly identify issues with brakes and lights, ensuring driving safety. Going in the morning means fewer people. I've brought a water bottle before to avoid getting thirsty during long queues. In short, with all the documents ready, the inspection goes smoothly, and driving feels more secure.

Hey, I just had my car inspected last month in Xiqing District, Tianjin. Here are some practical tips to share. There are mainly three documents you need to prepare: the vehicle registration certificate, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and your personal ID card. It's best to have the insurance policy freshly printed and not expired. On my first inspection, I forgot to bring the insurance policy and had to make a wasted trip—so frustrating! The inspection process in Tianjin is quick, but the places are crowded, so I recommend making a mobile appointment to save time. Make sure to bring all your documents, and while you're at it, check your car lights and tires to avoid any issues on-site. I remember my friend forgot his documents and had to postpone, wasting half a day. Also, bring some small change just in case, as sometimes it's more convenient to pay with cash.

I frequently deal with vehicle inspections, and in Tianjin, the essential documents are straightforward: the vehicle registration certificate, a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the original ID card of the owner. Incomplete paperwork will get you turned away, wasting your time. I recommend organizing these documents in a folder and carrying them with you, so you don’t forget them like leaving them in the trunk. Tianjin inspections place a strong emphasis on environmental protection, including emissions checks, so having all your documents in order is crucial to proceed. For regular inspections, pay attention to the lighting and brake tests—the passing sticker will be affixed to the windshield. I’ve never encountered document issues because I always verify the checklist beforehand.

What to Do When the Baojun Electronic Steering Lock Fails and the Car Won't Start?

For vehicles without a one-button start, you need to insert the key and turn the ignition. For keyless start cars, you need to start the ignition first and then turn the steering wheel to unlock it. If none of the above methods work after multiple attempts, it may indicate a fault in the vehicle's anti-theft system, and the car will need to be towed to a 4S shop for inspection and repair.
