Tip Tuesday: Did you know - We do NJ State Inspections?

Did you know that we did New Jersey State inspections? Here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center, we are fully licensed by the state of NJ to perform vehicle inspections and re-inspections. According to state law, vehicles have to be inspected every two years. However, a new vehicle is given a five year inspection. We also do emission repairs in the event that your vehicle fails.

Emission issues can be as simple as needing to tighten your gas cap or as complex as replacing the evaporative lines. We had a vehicle that came in a few weeks ago that required a huge evaporative repair. This customer had an inspection done at the DMV and failed. They then came to us for the evaporative repairs. The first thing that was done is a test to see what components could be causing the issues. After the test was completed, the results came back with an EVAP leak, an issue with the O2 sensor, and an issue with the idle. Our technician on the job replaced the evaporative lines as they were worn from age. These lines are made from rubber and harden over time. After the lines were replaced, the vehicle was re-tested and all the issues were resolved.

If you would like to make an appointment for a New Jersey State inspection or re-inspection, or have any questions regarding this topic, please give us a call at (609)-655-2886. Here’s a little inside info you may not have known; in NJ you can get your inspection up to two months prior to the due date on your vehicle’s sticker. Each morning we have waiting appointments, so if one is available for your time frame, you may take that time slot and wait with your vehicle. See you soon!
