Authorized Maryland Inspection Station
Moving to Maryland? Your Car Needs a Maryland Inspection
Bringing a car from D.C. or another state? An applicable vehicle generally needs a Maryland safety inspection before it can be titled and registered here. An out-of-state inspection does not take the place of the Maryland safety inspection.
3800 Rhode Island Ave, Brentwood, MD 20722

Safety inspection, not registration advice
