Driving without proper wheel alignment costs you money. It decreases gas mileage, shortens your tires’ lives, and stresses your vehicle’s steering equipment and structure. Driving without proper alignment also puts you at risk. An out-of-alignment car pulls and drifts away from a straight road and may cause an accident. Excessive tire wear—another result of bad car alignment—leads to tire blow-outs and poor traction, which also cause accidents.


How do you know it’s time for a tire alignment? It’s important to rotate your tires at regular intervals, but additional warning signs like steering wheel vibration and uneven tire tread will show you’re past due. Before your tires become a liability, schedule a wheel alignment service with the Chapel Hill tire professionals.

Comprehensive Inspection Services Offered

Explore our range of state inspection services designed to meet your compliance needs:

Emissions Testing:


Our emissions testing services are a critical part of the state inspection process, designed to ensure your vehicle adheres to environmental regulations set forth by the state. We use the latest testing technology to accurately measure the amount of pollutants your vehicle is emitting. Whether your vehicle is gasoline, diesel, hybrid, or electric, we can evaluate its emissions to ensure it meets the required standards. Passing the emissions test not only helps in maintaining compliance with state laws but also contributes to environmental conservation by reducing harmful exhaust emissions. If your vehicle fails the emissions test, we offer diagnostics and repair services to address and resolve the issues promptly, helping you achieve compliance and improve your vehicle's environmental performance.

State Referee Inspections


For vehicles that require special attention or have unique modifications, our state referee inspection services are designed to assist. State referee inspections are crucial for verifying that modified vehicles, including those with aftermarket emissions equipment or rebuilt salvage titles, comply with all safety and environmental regulations. Our expert inspectors have the specialized knowledge to evaluate these modifications and ensure they meet state standards. If your vehicle has been non-compliant in past inspections or requires certification for modifications, schedule a referee inspection with us to resolve any compliance issues effectively.

Importance of State Inspections and Repercussions of Non-Compliance

State inspections are essential not only for ensuring that your vehicle meets safety and emissions standards but also for maintaining public safety on the roads. These inspections help identify potential issues that could lead to accidents or increased environmental pollution. Failing to have your vehicle inspected as required by state law can result in a variety of repercussions, including fines, penalties, and even the revocation of your vehicle registration. In some cases, driving a vehicle that has not passed inspection can also lead to increased liability in the event of an accident, as it may be considered neglect of vehicle maintenance. Regular state inspections ensure that your vehicle is safe to operate and compliant with all regulatory requirements, helping to avoid these negative outcomes.
