Maryland State Vehicle Inspection in Essex, MD – Certified, Transparent, and Hassle-Free
J & H Tires – Your Local Maryland State Inspection Station
If you’ve purchased a used car, moved into the state, or are transferring a title, Maryland law requires your vehicle to pass a Maryland Safety Inspection before it can be registered. At J & H Tires in Essex, MD, we’re a licensed inspection station and can complete your official state inspection quickly—and with full transparency.
Why It’s Required
The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) requires most used vehicles to undergo a one-time safety inspection before they can be registered or receive permanent tags. You’ll need a valid inspection certificate to complete the registration process.
What We Inspect
Our certified inspection includes a full review of all critical safety systems:
- Brakes, tires, and steering
- Suspension and alignment
- Exhaust and emissions systems
- Lighting and electrical systems
- Mirrors, windows, and wipers
- Frame, body, and fuel system
- Seat belts and safety equipment
If your vehicle passes, we’ll issue your Maryland Inspection Certificate. If it doesn’t, we’ll show you exactly what failed—and why.
Transparent Results with Photos and Videos
If repairs are needed, we don’t just hand you a list. You’ll receive photos or videos documenting any failed components or recommendations, so you can see the issue for yourself and make an informed decision.
Note: A valid Maryland State Inspection also qualifies for Uber and Lyft vehicle certification.
