Multi-Point Inspection Oneida NY

It's no surprise that your vehicle requires routine maintenance to stay healthy. Beyond that, routine maintenance helps keep you, your passengers, and other drivers safe as you travel around Oneida, New York. To ensure a vehicle is equipped for driving, it must pass a multi-point inspection.

The team at Bill Rapp Subaru is here to help you learn all about this necessary service. Let's get started!

What is a Multi-Point Inspection?

A multi-point inspection is a way for a trained technician to ensure the vehicle is suited for travel. As the name suggests, there are several factors examined during this inspection. Once the inspection is complete, the vehicle and its various parts are rated.

Just like with a traffic light, a green rating means the vehicle and its parts are good, yellow means a repair will soon be needed, and red means a repair is needed now.

How Often Do My Vehicles Need a Multi-Point Inspection?

In the state of New York, a vehicle must receive a multi-point inspection every 12 months.

Additionally, if the vehicle changes ownership or if the vehicle was recently purchased, an inspection must be performed within 30 days.

What is Checked in a Multi-Point Inspection?

A technician will examine several components of your vehicle during an inspection. Some of these parts include:

• Brakes: The brake pads aren't worn too thin, the parking brake works normally, and the various brake components are all in good condition.
• Chassis: There are no cracks, breaks, or rust on the frame of your vehicle.
• Tires: The tire tread depth is appropriate, there are no cracks, and the tires are properly inflated.
• Windshield: There's no crack measuring more than 11 inches.

An emissions test is also performed during the multi-point inspection. This test ensures your vehicle isn't producing an excess of harmful emissions per the 1990 Federal Clean Air Act.

What Happens if My Vehicle Doesn't Pass the Inspection?

If your vehicle doesn't pass the multi-point inspection, it's deemed unfit to drive around Oneida. The failed part(s) must be replaced before it can pass. Until it passes, you are unable to renew the registration of the vehicle and you may receive fines for driving an unfit model.
