The Maine State Motor Vehicle Inspection Program has been in existence for over 75 years, and requires all vehicles registered in the State of Maine to undergo an annual safety inspection. Vehicles registered in Cumberland County must also pass an “OBD Inspection,” (on-board diagnostics), to ensure compliance with emissions regulations, in addition to the Maine State Safety Inspection.
The goals of the inspection programs are to ensure the health and safety of the motoring public by keeping persons informed of their vehicle’s condition, and to help identify any needed safety-related repairs or services that should be performed, while also improving emissions which leads to decreased smog and air pollution.
When doing a State Inspection, your licensed Maine Auto Service technician will follow the guidelines and policies of the Maine State Police, which includes checking the brakes, exhaust system, lights and turn signals, horn, tires, seat belts and more. He’ll complete his inspection, put the results in writing, and then bring you out to your car to discuss his findings. We encourage you to ask any questions about your vehicle needs at this time.
