Licensed Rhode Island inspection station
RI State Inspection in Cranston, RI
Fast, honest state safety and emissions inspections at our shop on Broad Street. If something needs attention, we explain it clearly before any work happens.
How It Works
What to expect at your inspection
We inspect safety and emissions
Rhode Island combines the safety check and the emissions test in one visit. We check brakes, tires, lights, steering, suspension, and your emissions system.
Get your sticker, good for 2 years
Pass, and you drive out with a sticker valid for 24 months. The state inspection fee is $55, set by the Rhode Island DMV.
Most Rhode Island vehicles need a safety and emissions inspection every 2 years. For the full official rules, see the Rhode Island DMV inspection requirements.
Safety First
What we check
- Brakes, including parking brake
- Tires and wheels
- Lights, signals, and reflectors
- Steering and suspension
- Windshield, wipers, and mirrors
- Horn, seatbelts, and exhaust
- On-board emissions diagnostics (OBD-II)
No Surprises
If your vehicle doesn't pass
If something fails, we show you exactly what and why, and give you a straight, no-pressure quote for the repair. You are never obligated to fix it with us.
Rhode Island gives you 30 days to make repairs and return to the same station for a free reinspection, so a failed inspection doesn't have to mean paying twice.
Because we are a full-service repair shop, we can usually handle whatever the inspection turns up, from brakes and tires to exhaust and emissions repairs, right here at the shop.
