MA State Inspection

All vehicles registered in the state of Massachusetts must receive a safety inspection at a certified MA state inspection center each year. In addition, many vehicles are required to undergo an emissions test annually.

Daley Service Center is an authorized MA state inspection station certified to perform both safety and emissions testing per our state's "Massachusetts Vehicle Check" program.

MA State Inspection Overview

During an MA state safety inspection, different components on your vehicle will be checked visually and physically. Our state requires that the following be reviewed and/or tested:

Registration
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
License plate decal
Parking brake
Service brake
Exhaust system
Emission smoke color
Steering and Suspension
Windshield and windows

Horn
Wipers
Tint
Lighting
Reflectors
Tires
Wheels
Bumpers
Fenders

Floor pans
Fuel tank
Frame/Unibody
Height alterations
Seat belts
Airbags
Fuel tank cap

For many vehicles (most 2000 and newer models of light and medium-duty vehicles), an emissions inspection is also required each year. Our shop is able to perform both the safety and emissions inspections.

Passing and Failing

After your vehicle passes the MA state inspection, you'll receive a new inspection sticker along with a report detailing the results of your test. In the event that your vehicle fails inspection, you will not be able to continue legally driving it until repairs are made. If your vehicle fails due to its emissions, you are given 60 days after the test to have repairs performed and pass a re-inspection.

After repairing a problem, you can have your vehicle re-inspected for free so long as the retest is performed at the original inspection station. Please also keep in mind that drivers are entitled to only one free re-test. If you do not fix your vehicle's problems and are unable to pass inspection for the new year, your vehicle's registration will be suspended. If you have any questions or concerns about MA state inspections, you can give us a call at (508) 528-1515.
