  • Windshield wipers.
  • Rear and front lights on the vehicle.
  • Turn signals.

  • Shocks and struts.
Regular auto repairs and tune-ups can help you to pass the safety inspection. After you finalize your car registration, check your local yellow pages to locate authorized inspection stations near you.
