All Virginia registered vehicles need a yearly safety inspection at a station licensed by the Virginia State Police. Vehicles kept in Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Stafford counties and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park also need an emissions test every two years. The four newest model years are exempt from emissions testing. Details are on the Virginia State Police Safety Division and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality site.

The shop must offer to return replaced parts, except warranty or core parts. Read the rule.
Owning a Car in Williamsburg
Summers here bring about 37 days at 90°F or hotter. That is enough to finish off a tired battery or a weak AC compressor, so get both checked in spring rather than on the first hot day.
Lows drop to freezing on about 68 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over.
About 51 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.
The average commute in Williamsburg is 20 minutes each way, and 57% of workers drive there alone.

Pre-Purchase Inspections in Williamsburg
Buying a used car in Williamsburg? 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.
The nearest PPI Auto city is Richmond, about 44 miles away, and inspectors drive out to Williamsburg.
Virginia 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.
