Missouri State Inspection

Westfork Tire & Auto, LLC is an official state inspection location for Missouri safety and emissions inspections. Unless exempt, your vehicle must pass a safety inspection once every two years. Residents with vehicles registered in certain counties, including St. Charles County, must pass a smog or emissions test with the safety inspection.

Your renewal notice from the Department of Revenue will assist you in determining if your vehicle needs a safety inspection. If you don't pass the inspection by your due date, your vehicle registration will be denied. For this reason, we recommended prioritizing your state inspection once your vehicle is eligible to undergo inspection.

For information on emissions and safety inspections, including a list of counties requiring both types of inspections, visit DNR.mo.gov. Check the Missouri Department of Natural Resources for updates.

Westfork Tire & Auto, LLC provides Missouri state inspections for motorists across Stanberry, MO, Albany, MO, King City, MO, and surrounding areas.

Missouri State Inspection Overview

For vehicles registered in St. Charles County, an MO state inspection is a two-part process that consists of the safety inspection and emissions inspection. The safety inspection includes checking your headlights, turn signals, horn, brake system, steering mechanism, all window glass, windshield wipers, and other parts crucial to vehicle safety.

During the emissions inspection, special equipment is used to read your On-Board Diagnostic System (OBD). If you're within legal emission levels, your vehicle passes the test.
