Iowa does not require periodic safety or emissions inspections for passenger cars. The Iowa DOT inspects vehicles only for titling cases, such as a car bought out of state with only a registration as proof of ownership. Details are on the Iowa Department of Transportation site. Iowa's Motor Vehicle Service Trade Practices Act gives customers the right to a written or oral estimate when repairs will cost more than $50. The bill cannot go over the estimate by more than 10 percent unless the customer approves a higher amount before repairs are finished. Read the rule.
