Congratulations on acquiring your salvage car! Now comes the crucial step of getting it road-worthy and legally registered. One major hurdle for salvage vehicles is the brake and light inspection. Here at Salvage Car Forum, we’ll guide you through this process.
Understanding the Inspection:
Many states require a brake and light inspection for salvage cars before issuing a title. This ensures the car meets safety standards after any repairs done post-salvage.
What’s Checked During the Inspection:
- Brakes: Inspectors will meticulously examine all brake components, including pads, rotors, calipers, and lines, ensuring they function properly and meet minimum thickness requirements.
- Lights: All lights – headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights – will be rigorously tested for functionality and proper alignment.
Preparing for the Inspection:
- Consult Your State Regulations: Salvage Car Forum offers resources on various state requirements.
- Thorough Pre-Inspection: Don’t underestimate the power of a self-check! Ensure all lights work and brakes feel responsive.
- Repairs and Replacements: Address any issues identified during your pre-inspection.
