Vehicles need a safety and emissions inspection every two years at a DMV inspection lane, at no charge, in all three counties. The first seven model years are exempt from emissions testing, and some owners can renew by mail without an inspection. Vehicles titled in Delaware for the first time usually need an inspection, but the newest seven model years may only need a VIN check. Details are on the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles site. Before any repair, a shop must give a written estimate with the price and completion date unless the customer waives it, and cannot charge more than 20 percent or $50 over the estimate (whichever is less) without consent. Shops must also offer to return replaced parts, with some exceptions. Read the rule.
Pre-Purchase Inspections in Bear
Buying a used car in Bear? PPI Auto, our sister company, sends an inspector to the car for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. That is a 122 point check with a full scan and a road test, and the report comes back the same day. Dealer lot, private seller or auction, it works the same.
Delaware requires inspections, but a passed sticker only means the car met the minimum on that day. It says nothing about the transmission, the frame or a leak that starts next month.
