NC Inspection Station

Eastgate Automotive is a NC Inspection Station in Raleigh that is certified in both NC Emission and Safety Inspections. To renew a registration in North Carolina, a car must undergo either 1) a safety inspection, which includes testing of the safety related components of your vehicle or 2) an emissions inspection, which uses your On-Board Diagnostic (OBD-2) system to ensure your car isn’t outputting too many harmful emissions.

It’s very important to the quality of air in our state that emission inspections are done on a yearly basis, and safety inspections are done for the benefit of you and the drivers around you. Eastgate Automotive is a qualified and registered facility, and we can fix any problems that may pop up, causing you to fail inspections.

Some reasons for failing an inspection:

External lights such as brake or headlights, are not functioning.
Brake pads are extremely worn
Tires are below 2/32nds of tread
Wiper blades are torn
Exhaust system is leaking
Check engine light is on
Dark tint

Since the issues that can cause failure are very many, be sure to have a skilled technician from our NC Inspection station inspect your car and ensure that you are in compliance with North Carolina and are able to register your car!
