PA State Motor Vehicle Inspections

Dunn tire now offers Pennsylvania State vehicle registration.

Our locations at 4222 Peach Street and 2202 Board Street (Perry Plaza) in Erie are now an official PennDOT Inspection station.

Pennsylvania requires vehicle safety inspections to ensure that vehicles are maintained for safe operation. Safety Inspections can prevent vehicle failure on the highways and crashes that may result in injuries or death.

What are the inspection criteria for passenger cars and light duty trucks?

Safety inspections for passenger cars and light-duty trucks require that the following items be checked: suspension components, steering, braking systems, tires and wheels, lighting and electrical systems, glazing (glass), mirrors, windshield washer, defroster, wipers, fuel systems, the speedometer, the odometer, the exhaust systems, horns and warning devices, the body, and chassis. For most vehicles in the 42 county, Non-I/M region this safety inspection will also include a Visual Anti-Tampering Check. The Visual Anti-Tampering Check is an examination of the vehicle to see if the required emissions components have been tampered with or removed. For more information concerning the 42 County Visual Anti-Tampering Check, please visit the PA Code Website. For a complete list of the rejection criteria for passenger cars and light duty trucks, please visit the PA Code Web site.
