What Pennsylvania Inspections Cover

The safety inspection checks brakes, tires, steering, suspension, lights, wipers, and more. Berks County is an emissions-testing county, so most vehicles also need an emissions check. You receive new stickers when your vehicle passes.

When Is My Inspection Due?

Your safety inspection sticker shows the month it expires; inspection is due by the end of that month. Driving on an expired sticker can mean a citation, so don’t wait until the last week.
