What's involved

What this repair actually is.

We go through the DOT inspection checklist on your commercial vehicle — brakes, steering, suspension, tires and wheels, lighting, coupling devices, exhaust, and frame condition — and document anything that would trigger a violation or out-of-service order. You get a written punch list with repair pricing so the actual DOT inspection is a formality.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Annual DOT inspection is due
  • Vehicle received a roadside violation
  • New vehicle added to the fleet with unknown history
  • Air or hydraulic brake concerns before inspection
  • Insurance or contract requires proof of inspection readiness
