Find vehicle and emission inspection stations near you.

A Pennsylvania safety inspection typically costs $35-50, depending on the station. If your county requires emissions testing, add another $35-40 for the OBD-II test. Some stations offer package deals for both.

Inspectors examine brakes, tires, lights, steering, suspension, windshield wipers, horn, mirrors, and seat belts. Emissions testing checks your vehicle's onboard diagnostics for engine-related issues.

You have 30 days to make repairs and return to the same station for a free re-inspection. If you go to a different station, you'll pay a new inspection fee. Keep your paperwork as proof.

Emissions testing is required in 25 Pennsylvania counties, primarily in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metro areas. Check if your county requires it before scheduling your inspection.

Most inspections take 30-60 minutes. A safety-only inspection is typically faster (20-30 min), while combined safety and emissions testing takes longer. Busy stations may have wait times.
