Frequently Asked Questions About Car Inspections
The duration of a vehicle inspection at AUTOBACS depends on the complexity of the inspection and the specific services requested. On average, a comprehensive car inspection can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. Our professional team ensures that each inspection is thorough and efficient, giving you peace of mind about your vehicle’s condition.
If your car fails the inspection at AUTOBACS, our team will provide you with a detailed report of the issues identified. You will receive transparent recommendations for necessary repairs or maintenance. Our goal is to ensure your vehicle meets safety and performance standards. We’re here to assist you in addressing any concerns and getting your car back on the road safely.
Vehicle owners are usually notified of upcoming inspections when necessary. Typically, you will receive an inspection notice from LTA within three months before your vehicle’s inspection due date. Additionally, you can usually find the next due date for an inspection noted on the car inspection certificate from your last visit. If in doubt, feel free to contact us at AUTOBACS, and we will be glad to assist you.
The frequency of vehicle inspections is typically governed by regulations and depends on factors like your vehicle’s age, type, and usage. It’s common for most private cars in Singapore to require inspections every one to two years after the initial three to four years from the date of registration. For cars aged between 3 and 10 years, LTA recommends an inspection every two years. On the other hand, for vehicles aged over ten years, LTA advises an annual inspection. These guidelines are designed to keep your vehicle in optimal condition and to address any potential safety or performance concerns. However, if you have gotten into an accident previously, an inspection can also assess if your vehicle is ready to get back onto the road.
While walk-ins are absolutely welcome at AUTOBACS, we strongly encourage scheduling an appointment ahead of time for your car inspection. By booking in advance, you allow us to streamline our services better and reduce waiting times. This ultimately contributes to a smoother, more efficient service experience for you, our valued customer.
