A roadside out-of-service order costs you a driver, a load, and a mark on your safety record. Almost every defect that triggers one is inexpensive to catch in the bay. Run this checklist monthly and most surprises disappear.
- Brakes in adjustment and above minimum thickness
- Air system builds and holds pressure with no leaks
- Steering play within spec
- Tire tread above legal depth, no sidewall damage
- All lamps and reflectors working
- Frame rails and cross-members sound, no cracks
- No leaking wheel seals
- Suspension components tight and unworn
- Exhaust and emission systems fault-free
An 86-point inspection runs $250 to $600 and turns a surprise violation into a scheduled repair. We fix the flagged items and issue documentation the same visit. Book at (714) 909-1844.
