State Inspection & Emissions Testing in Pennsylvania

State Inspection & Emissions Testing Icon

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.

State Inspection & Emissions Testing Icon

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.

What's Included in a State Safety Inspection?

Pennsylvania safety inspections for passenger cars and light-duty trucks include:

  • Suspension components
  • Steering
  • Braking systems
  • Tires and wheels
  • Lighting and electrical systems
  • Glazing (glass)
  • Mirrors
  • Windshield washer
  • Defroster
  • Wipers
  • Fuel systems
  • Speedometer
  • Odometer
  • Exhaust systems
  • Horns and warning devices
  • Body
  • Chassis

For more information on PA safety inspection requirements and exemptions, visit PennDOT's Safety Inspection Program page.

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.
