Eastgate Automotive, located in Raleigh, is a certified NC Inspection Station proficient in both NC Emission and Safety Inspections. In North Carolina, to renew a registration, a car must undergo either a safety inspection, encompassing testing of the safety-related components, or an emissions inspection, which utilizes your On-Board Diagnostic (OBD-2) system to ensure your vehicle is not emitting excessive harmful emissions.

Ensuring the quality of air in our state remains paramount, which is why annual emission inspections are crucial. Safety inspections, on the other hand, are conducted for the benefit of both you and other drivers on the road. Eastgate Automotive stands as a qualified and registered facility capable of addressing any issues that may arise, potentially causing you to fail inspections.

Some reasons for failing an inspection:

• External lights, such as brake or headlights, are not operational
• The brake pads exhibit severe wear
• Tires have treads measuring below 2/32nds
• Wiper blades show signs of tearing
• There is a leak in the exhaust system
• The check engine light is illuminated
• The tint on the windows is excessively dark

Given the multitude of potential issues that can lead to inspection failure, it's imperative to have a skilled technician from our NC Inspection station thoroughly inspect your car. This ensures that you remain in compliance with North Carolina regulations and are able to successfully register your vehicle.
