Is There a Grace Period for Automotive Repairs After a Failed Inspection?
If your vehicle recently failed a mandatory state inspection, you might wonder how long you have before it’s no longer drivable. In most cases, you’ll have 30 days to bring your vehicle to us for the necessary repairs. After we complete the requested repairs, we’ll be able to conduct the PA state inspection.
When Is Your Vehicle Beyond Repair?
We’re firm believers that motorists should get the most out of their vehicles for as long as possible, so long as the vehicle remains safe to drive. Vehicle production is costly and takes a toll on the environment. However, there are times when continuing to repair your vehicle may not be the best decision.
The most significant factor in this decision-making process is safety. If your vehicle compromises your safety or that of others on the road, it’s time to consider a replacement.
Signs You Need Car Repairs
Keeping your vehicle road-ready and fuel-efficient means paying attention to signs that indicate it needs repairs.
Be sure to watch out for the following signs that indicate you need repairs:
- Unusual noises, grinding, or squealing from the brakes: This could indicate worn brake pads or rotors that need immediate attention to ensure safe stopping power.
- Check engine light illuminated: This warning light can signal a range of issues from minor to serious, requiring a diagnostic check to pinpoint and resolve the problem.
- Noticeable vibrations or pulling while driving: These symptoms often suggest issues with the suspension, tires, or alignment.
- Decrease in fuel efficiency: A sudden drop in miles per gallon may indicate engine problems, such as a malfunctioning oxygen sensor or fuel injector.
If you notice anything else about your vehicle that seems out of the norm or is concerning, please don’t hesitate to call us and ask.
