WHAT THE NJ INSPECTION CHECKS — AND WE FIX

New Jersey's inspection for passenger cars is an emissions test (an OBD-II scan). Here is what decides whether you pass, plus a few safety items we can check while your car is here.

⚠️

Check Engine Light

An active check engine light means emissions codes are stored, and your car will not pass. We read the code and repair the cause.

💨

Emissions Readiness (OBD)

NJ reads your car's OBD-II data, including readiness monitors. We make sure they are set before you go.

⛽

Gas Cap & Fuel Vapor System

A loose or damaged gas cap can trigger an emissions code. We check the cap and look for vapor leaks.

🔧

Sensors & Exhaust

Failing oxygen sensors, a worn catalytic converter, or exhaust leaks can set emissions codes. We test them.

🛑

Brakes (optional safety check)

Not part of the NJ test, but we can check pads, rotors, and fluid while you're here.

🔄

Tires (optional safety check)

Not part of the NJ test. We check tread depth, condition, and inflation for safety.

💡

Lights & Wipers (optional safety check)

Not part of the NJ test. Quick to check, and safer to fix early.

🔩

Steering & Suspension (optional safety check)

Not part of the NJ test. We look at ball joints, tie rods, and shocks for wear.
