Scheduling a salvage inspection is an essential step to ensure that your repaired salvage vehicle is deemed safe and roadworthy. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to schedule a salvage inspection:
-
Complete All Repairs
- Ensure Readiness: Before scheduling the inspection, make sure all necessary repairs are completed and the vehicle is in roadworthy condition.
-
Gather Required Documents
- Salvage Title: Ensure you have the salvage title for the vehicle.
- Repair Receipts: Collect all repair invoices and receipts for parts and labor.
- Bill of Sale: Have the bill of sale that proves you purchased the salvage vehicle.
- Inspection Application: Complete any required salvage inspection application forms from your state's DMV or equivalent agency.
-
Find Your State’s Inspection Requirements
- State-Specific Rules: Each state has different requirements and procedures for salvage inspections. Visit your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website to find specific information about the process.
-
Locate an Approved Inspection Facility
