Question 1

What do I need to bring?

Your vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and your DOT number. Make sure the vehicle is accessible and fueled — we need it running for part of the inspection.

A truck inspection takes approximately 60 minutes. A trailer inspection takes around 45 minutes. The bundle (truck + trailer) takes about 90 minutes.

We check all FMCSA-required items including brakes, tires, lights, steering, suspension, fuel system, exhaust, coupling devices, and emergency equipment.

Question 4

What happens if I don't pass?

With our Guarantee Pass, we come back to re-inspect at no extra charge once repairs are made. We'll tell you exactly what needs to be fixed.

How does the walk-in line work?

Question 8

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

Cash or Zelle at the shop when your inspection is done. Nothing is due online to check in, book, or request mobile.

Question 9

Can I get inspected same day?

Accepted Answer

Walk-ins are same day — join the line when you arrive. Appointments depend on open slots that day. Mobile depends on scheduling after your request.

Question 10

How do I track my inspection?

Accepted Answer

Save your confirmation link or use Track on the site. Enter your phone number and date or booking reference. Walk-ins show your place in line.

Question 11

Is the Guarantee Pass actually real?

100%. If your vehicle doesn't pass the inspection, we re-inspect after repairs at zero additional cost. No other DOT inspector in the Central Valley offers this.
