United Tire & Service provides PA safety and emissions inspections at locations across the Commonwealth.
If you drive a vehicle registered in Pennsylvania, you know about the two stickers in the corner of your windshield. You get them when your vehicle passes the PA safety inspection, also known as the state inspection, and the emissions inspection, if it is registered in a county that requires it (most vehicles will still need to pass a visual anti-tampering check). Most passenger cars and light-duty trucks require an annual inspection, with some exemptions. If it's time for your state inspection and emissions testing, come by one of our convenient locations in Pennsylvania.
NOTE: Pre-1996 vehicles had a different industry-standard engine management system. As a result, vehicles before the model year 1996 have a different emissions standard to meet. Even on these older vehicles, if any problems are detected with sensors or relays that can affect emissions, they will need to be replaced or repaired before the vehicle can be in compliance with state and federal laws.
Pennsylvania safety inspections for passenger cars and light-duty trucks include:

Depending on the county in which the vehicle is registered, an emissions test will also be required. At United Tire & Service, we use advanced technology to read your vehicle’s computer, gaining valuable insights about your emissions output, as well as ignition timing, fuel metering, and other performance functions.
