● Pre-Inspection Checklist

WHAT NJ INSPECTORS CHECK — AND WE FIX

New Jersey's vehicle inspection covers safety and emissions. Here's everything we verify before you go to the DMV inspection station.

🛑

Brakes

Pad thickness, rotor condition, brake fluid, pedal feel — the most common inspection failure.

💡

Lights & Signals

Headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, hazards, and license plate light.

⚠️

Check Engine Light

If your CEL is on, you will fail NJ inspection. We diagnose and clear codes properly.

🔩

Steering & Suspension

Ball joints, tie rods, shocks — inspectors test for excessive play and worn components.

🔄

Tires

Tread depth, condition, proper inflation. Bald or damaged tires are an automatic fail.

💨

Emissions (OBD)

NJ uses OBD-II scanner for emissions. We ensure your readiness monitors are set before you go.

🪟

Windshield & Wipers

No cracks in the driver's line of sight, working wipers with good blade condition.

🔧

Exhaust System

No leaks, proper muffler condition — inspected visually and through the OBD scan.

● FAQ

NJ CAR INSPECTION QUESTIONS

Where do I get my NJ car inspection done?

NJ state inspections are done at official NJMVC inspection stations — not at private shops. However, Lescaille Car Care can prepare your vehicle to pass inspection and fix any issues that would cause a failure. We're located at 498 Lakeview Ave in Clifton, minutes from the Passaic inspection station.

How often do I need a car inspection in NJ?

New Jersey requires vehicle inspection every 2 years for most passenger vehicles. New vehicles are exempt for the first 5 years. Commercial vehicles have different requirements.

What are the most common reasons cars fail NJ inspection?

The most common failures in NJ are: check engine light on, OBD readiness monitors not set, worn brakes, bad tires, and burned-out lights. We see these every week — bring your car in before your inspection and we'll check everything.

My check engine light is on — will I fail?

Yes. Any active check engine light is an automatic failure in NJ. We diagnose the exact code, fix the underlying issue, and clear the light properly so your OBD monitors reset correctly before your inspection.

How much does it cost to prepare for NJ inspection?

It depends on what needs fixing. A quick pre-inspection check is free. If we find issues, we give you a written estimate before any work begins. No surprises.

BRING YOUR CAR IN BEFORE YOUR INSPECTION

We'll check everything that NJ inspectors look for — and fix any issues on the spot. Walk-ins welcome Monday through Saturday.
