Shanghai The vehicle annual inspection locations in Shanghai Pudong are Shanghai Shankao Motor Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Service Co., Ltd., Shanghai Pudong Chuanqiang Automobile Inspection Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Xiasha Automobile Repair Factory. For passenger transport vehicles: Inspect once a year within 5 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. For trucks and similar vehicles: Inspect once a year within 10 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. For small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles: Inspect once every 2 years within 6 years, once a year after exceeding 6 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. For motorcycles: Inspect once every 2 years within 4 years, and once a year after exceeding 4 years. For tractors and other motor vehicles: Inspect once a year. Operational motor vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the prescribed inspection period will not undergo repeated safety technical inspections.
I just had my vehicle annual inspection at the Longyang Road inspection station in Pudong New Area, and the process was quite smooth. Each district has designated locations, such as Hongmei South Road in Xuhui, Xianxia Road station in Changning, and the Waima Road inspection point in Huangpu. Finding a location isn’t difficult—just enter ‘vehicle annual inspection’ in Gaode Maps, and nearby stations will pop up. Before the inspection, remember to bring your ID card, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy; the cost is about 240 yuan. Inspection items include brake and light checks, and going on weekdays means shorter queues. The Pudong station is larger with newer equipment, but it’s crowded on weekends, so it’s advisable to book in advance. The inspection stations in Minhang and Putuo are also good, with convenient locations. Check the operating hours before driving there to avoid a wasted trip.
To find annual inspection locations across Shanghai districts, I recommend a simple method. Open WeChat on your phone and search for 'Shanghai Vehicle Inspection Appointment'. The system will display nearby inspection stations based on your location, such as Zhenbei Road in Putuo or Wenshui Road in Jing'an. Each district has at least one station, with more options available in Pudong for added convenience. Booking an appointment saves time, and don't forget to bring your vehicle registration certificate, ID card, and insurance policy. The fee is generally around 220 yuan, and mornings are less crowded. The inspection includes safety checks, and you'll receive a compliance sticker to place on your vehicle afterward. The process is similar at Xuhui and Hua stations – checking online is the easiest way overall.
