Car Inspection Station In Torrance, CA

If you are thinking of buying or recently bought a used car, thinking of driving a car that you haven't used in a couple of years, or moving to a new location and bringing your car with you, you will need to bring your vehicle in for an inspection. There are several types of inspections you can get for your vehicle depending on your situation, and for all types of inspections, Charlie's Hillside Auto Repair is here to help! We are a designated inspection facility and can perform CA Certified Inspections and more. We've inspected Acura, Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, and most other car makes. Some types of car inspections include:

  • Local CA inspections: The requirements for what a car inspection entails vary from location to location, but in general inspections are performed on aging cars or cars that have crossed borders and are here to stay. The vehicle must pass the safety inspection to be registered in CA. CA requires that vehicles' emissions and safety features are tested on a semi-regular basis. To get more information on car inspections, you can go to the DMV website of Torrance, CA, Rolling Hills, CA, Redondo Beach, CA, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, Palos Verdes Estate, CA, or wherever else you live.
  • Pre-purchase (used) vehicle inspection: If you are thinking of buying a used car, it is a good idea to have the vehicle inspected before you make a purchase. Our Exceptional technicians at Charlie's Hillside Auto Repair can work with you to perform an inspection. This usually assesses the function of engine hoses and belts, fluids, tire and brake condition, suspension and steering, signs of collision damage, the working state of the air conditioning, heat and electronics systems, evidence of rust, mold or smoke, and transmission fitness. We can also see if there is damage to the vehicle's frame or if the car needs additional repairs such as scheduled maintenance, tune-ups, brake repair, and auto repair.
  • Visual/routine inspection: Even if you are not purchasing a vehicle, it is important to bring the vehicle you currently drive in for regular inspections. We at Charlie's Hillside Auto Repair perform digital inspections on all vehicles and can let you know which services may need to be performed. 
  • Brake and lamp station: If your vehicle has been off the road for several years, you may need a complete brake and light inspection to ensure that these basic safety systems are working well enough to get your vehicle safely back on the road.

Other services we at Charlie's Hillside Auto Repair in Los Angeles can perform for your vehicle include:

  • Inspect and replace starters: If your vehicle won't start even after jumpstarting it, there is a problem with your starter. The starter is a crucial component to your vehicle, so it is important to get the issue resolved by Reliable technicians at Charlie's Hillside Auto Repair.
