Vehicles Safety and Emissions
Sometimes it can be confusing with all the different rules about safety and emissions testing when exactly you may need it and what exactly needs to be in good working order. It can actually differ from state to state what is needed, so, I'll be focusing on the requirements for Utah.
I was surprised to find out that the times from safety and emissions can actually be different depending on the year of your car. The year of the car will make all the difference in safety and emissions.
Here are the rules for safety inspections. Cars that are 9 years and older need to come in every year for safety inspections. If they are 8 years old and younger, they only need to be brought in every 2 years.
Emissions is only slightly different. If your car is 6 years old or younger you only have to bring it in every other year. If it is older than 6 years it is required to be tested every year.
Remember, it is important that your vehicle does not pass its registration date. If so, you may not be able to get a company to do the testing. You'll have to get a temporary registration from your DMV.
Emissions and safety inspections can come back a negative and require some additional work before they will be able to give you your safety and emissions papers to be taken to your DMV. These problems can sometimes be little and feel inconvenient but they must be fixed before you'll be able to register your car again.
The best way to insure that your car will pass safety and emissions the first time is to periodically do maintenance work. Make sure that little things like the engine light or other lights aren't always coming on, and if they are get it checked out. Don't think that the light coming on doesn't mean anything because it is a sign that something in the engine has changed.
If this is your year to get your safety and emissions done, don't put it off because you might forget. Take it to a trusted shop and be on top of things before your registration expires. - 21392
