Vehicle Safety Inspection

An all-over inspection of your car, or a basic safety inspection, is a good idea to do even though California does not require it. If you have historically taken your car to one of those fast oil change places it’s recommended that, at least once, you have your car go through a safety inspection. Those quick oil places don’t inspect your car from top to bottom with a fine-tooth comb, so to speak, like AutoTec.

Checking out your car is a sound suggestion if you haven’t ever had your car inspected or if you have always taken it to a fast oil change company.
