What’s the Deal with Vehicle Inspections?

Alternative Automotive • March 17, 2025

Ever wonder what a vehicle inspection at Alternative Automotive is all about?

Let’s clear up any confusion right away: this isn’t your state safety inspection. While state inspections focus on major safety items like the suspension, steering, and brakes, our vehicle inspections go much deeper, checking everything from engine performance to mechanical issues that might trigger a check engine light.

What to Expect from Our Inspection

Think of our inspection as a full-body check-up for your car. Our expert technicians thoroughly review your vehicle’s systems—tires, brakes, fluids, engine performance, and more—to catch potential problems before they turn into costly repairs. And don’t worry, we’re not just ticking boxes; we explain what we find, so you know exactly what’s going on under the hood.
