Pennsylvania State Inspections in Parkesburg, PA

Why Do I Need a Vehicle Inspection?

Premier Automotive Services is a certified PennDOT inspection station servicing Parkesburg, PA, and the surrounding areas. You may be asking, “What is the purpose of a vehicle inspection?” To promote highway safety and clean air, Pennsylvania requires a vehicle inspection and emissions test annually. Vehicle safety inspections are an essential tool in helping to prevent accidents and fatalities on the road. A PA State Inspection or PA Emissions Inspection identifies and removes unsafe vehicles from the road to help avoid accidents. A Pennsylvania DOT study showed that states with vehicle inspection programs saw fewer fatal crashes than states without an official program. Additionally, the inspection program aims to keep the air clean through emission checks aimed at reducing air pollution through a more extensive federal program. In short, state inspections identify and give you peace of mind knowing unsafe vehicles are getting proper repairs. At Premier Automotive Services, our goal is to keep you, your passengers, and fellow drivers safe on the road!
