Top Brake and Lamp Inspection related questions

In California, a brake and lamp inspection costs vary depending on the vehicle's make, model, and year. Generally, prices range from $80 to $240. For instance, some certified stations offer inspections for approximately $125, while others may charge around $150.

If your car doesn’t pass its vehicle inspection, you get a rejection sticker. You’ll be given a number of days to fix what’s wrong and get your car re-tested, ensuring everything is working correctly. From replacing your shock absorbers to changing your car lights, you can hire a Tasker to tend to your vehicle and return to the road in no time.

This check ensures that your brakes are in good working order and all your lights/headlights/taillights and turn signal lights work and are up to code.

Brake and lamp inspections are sometimes needed to register a vehicle, transfer its title, or meet state safety laws, for instance. This inspection ensures your vehicle is safe to operate and helps prevent your brakes or lights from suddenly failing, which could cause an accident.

You should get a brake and lamp inspection at least every 6 months or with each oil change–usually every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
