Safety inspection preparation
Where your state requires inspections, common items include lights, brakes, tires, horn, wipers, and mirrors. Check these yourself before your appointment.
Recall awareness
You can look up open recalls using your vehicle identification number on the NHTSA website. Recall repairs are typically handled by an authorized dealer.
Emergency kit basics
A simple kit makes unexpected stops easier.
- Flashlight and spare batteries.
