Texas Car State Inspection
At Kwik Kar, we are an Official Vehicle Inspection Station for the State of Texas, ready and available to assist when your car is due for its annual inspection. The Texas Car State Inspection is required by law annually. All Texas state inspections include a general safety check to ensure that your vehicle meets all safety requirements ordered by Texas state law.
Most vehicles also require an emissions test in addition to the safety inspections mandated by Texas state law. Diesel engine vehicles and motorcycles are examples of 2 types of vehicles exempt from the emissions test but will still be required to have a safety inspection performed. Below are some of the safety items examined during a state inspection:
- Horn
