When you register a car in the state of Maryland, you need to have it inspected. The Mazda service center here at Heritage Mazda Catonsville can help you with that. Our mechanics will look over every part of your car and give it a clean bill of health so that you don't run into any problems on the road.
Why You Need an Inspection
The state requires all cars to be inspected for safety reasons. Your vehicle and all of its important systems and parts need to be in working order so that you are not endangering yourself and others every time you get behind the wheel.
Maryland only requires an inspection once, when the car is registered in the state. However, you will need to bring your vehicle in for an emissions test multiple times over the course of its life.
This test ensures that your Mazda car isn't producing more emissions than it should and polluting the air. You need this inspection every two years.
Parts and Systems That Get Inspected
During an inspection, a mechanic will look at all kinds of parts that are crucial to the safe operation of your vehicle. Components inspected include:
- Tires
- Brakes
- Seat belts
- The windshield and other glass
- Headlights and taillights
An issue with any of these parts or systems can result in you failing your inspection. In cases like these, your Mazda car needs to be fixed up to comply with state regulations.
Some fixes are easy and inexpensive, like the replacement of worn windshield wipers, but some of the other repairs needed to get a car up to code can be pricey.
If you're in need of an inspection or some routine maintenance, we're ready to assist you. Visit our Mazda dealership near Baltimore and learn more about what our skilled, factory-trained mechanics can do for you.
