Lights
Get ready for your DOT inspection! We’ll be checking multiple lights to ensure your truck is in tip-top shape. From front to back, we’ll make sure both headlamps are working, along with the red reflector lamps. Don’t forget about the turn signal lamps – both sets need to function properly. If your truck measures over 80 inches wide, we’ll also be checking the cab lights for your safety.
The number of tail lamps and stop lamps required depends on the year your truck was made. If it was manufactured after 1959, you’ll need two of each. For older trucks, one of each is sufficient. Lastly, we’ll check your beam indicator, which lets you know if your lights are set to low or high beams. This applies to vehicles made in 1948 and later.
Ensure your lights pass the inspection and stay safe on the road!
Visibility
Get ready for a thorough inspection that covers your visibility while driving. We’ll make sure your windshield wipers are functioning well without any cracked blades. Don’t forget, you’ll need mirrors too, so you can see what’s happening behind your vehicle.
Stopping
Ensure the safety of your vehicle with a thorough inspection of brakes and tires. Our experts check the tread depth and pattern of wear on your brakes, while also ensuring that the entire brake system is in perfect working condition.
Exhaust System
Attention Vehicle Owners: Join us for an exhaust emission test to ensure your vehicle meets emission standards! We’ll assess the levels of nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, non-methane organic gases, and formaldehyde emitted from your tailpipe. Plus, we’ll address any leaks in your exhaust system. Book your test today for a cleaner, greener ride.
Other Parts
Our expert inspector will ensure that every seat belt is properly installed and free from any damage. The horn will sound with ease, and the steering wheel will effortlessly guide the wheels without any unwanted noise.
