Inspection & Alignment FAQ
Do You Need an Inspection?
All newly registered vehicles must have a valid Rhode Island inspection sticker, or pass a Safety and Emissions inspection within 5 days of registration.
New vehicles are exempt from inspection for 2 years from the date of purchase or until the vehicle accumulates 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
What does your Engine Light mean?
If the check engine light illuminates, it will either blink or remain constant, depending on the problem. If it's a solid light, come by and we'll happily check what the readout is! If it's a blinking light, please reduce your use, and come as soon as you can, as this may mean a more serious problem!
What are my 'Monitors'?
For Inspection, your car's computer needs to tell us it's working right. If a shop resets your computer, you will need to drive it in order for the computer to fully reset. Drive it normally, on and off the highway, and bring it by to let us check it for you!
What is an Alignment?
An alignment is an adjustment that assures your tires meet the road at the proper angle, your wheels are pointing straight and your tires are centered in the wheel wells. It adjusts the angles of your vehicle’s wheels to original specs for best gas mileage, proper road contact, a smooth ride and longest tire life.
Do I need an Alignment?
An alignment is important to do when:
- You get new tires.
- You lower or lift your vehicle.
- Suspension parts that affect the tire angles are replaced or adjusted.
- You’ve had a fender-bender or a hard impact with a curb or road debris.
- It's been a year since your last one.
