What's involved

What this repair actually is.

We run your vehicle through the same checkpoints the TLC facility uses — brakes, tires, lights, wipers, horn, mirrors, seat belts, body condition, meter and partition mounting, and warning lights. You get a written list of anything likely to fail, with a repair quote for each item. The goal is one trip to the TLC, not three.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • TLC inspection date is coming up
  • Vehicle failed a previous TLC inspection
  • Warning lights on the dash before an inspection
  • New-to-you TLC vehicle and you don't know its condition
  • Fleet manager wants documented pre-inspection condition
Educational estimate. Real pricing depends on your vehicle, the inspection, parts availability, taxes, and shop rates. Use this as a guide while you shop quotes.
