Here in Virginia, drivers are required to keep their vehicles in safe driving condition by getting an annual vehicle safety inspection. Taking some time to learn about what goes into a car inspection and what exactly the inspection is checking for can go a long way towards helping you pass. Here at Hall Honda Virginia Beach, we will help you with your annual vehicle inspection at our Honda service department.
Overview of Virginia Car Inspections
The cost of an annual car inspection in Virginia is $20, no matter where the inspection takes place. When you arrive for your inspection, you will pull into the bay of the car repair shop. As many drivers wait until the end of the month to get their car inspection, you may be able to save some time in line by visiting at the beginning of the month.
Once an inspection technician is available to help, you’ll hand over your keys and car while the technician runs through the inspection. The inspection itself covers around 24 points and takes 20 to 30 minutes to complete. If your car fails the inspection, you are required to get the necessary Honda repairs.

During the 24-point inspection, the technician looks over the following vehicle components:
- Tread depth
