Virginia State Safety Inspection
All vehicles registered in Virginia must have an annual Virginia Safety Inspection and must display a valid inspection decal on the windshield. Vehicles registered as antique do not require a Viriginia Safety Inspection. If your vehicle is due for a Virginia Safety Inspection, drive into one of our Virginia locations today. You’ll be glad to know that all Wiygul Automotive Clinic locations in Virginia are open Monday – Saturday for your convenience.
Helpful Hint: Please note that the wait for an inspection is generally lowest during the middle two weeks of each month so consider visiting us at that time.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Wiygul Automotive Clinic now accepts appointments for Virginia State Safety Inspections. However, these appointments can only be made over the phone (not online) so please call 866.702.8050 to make an appointment.

Customer Testimonials
Since I moved to Alexandria last year, Wiygul has been the only place that I have taken my car for tune-ups, repairs, and to get any and all of my questions answered. Dave and his team are polite, kind, and smart, which makes the (sometimes anxiety-inducing) experience of taking your car into the shop a lot more enjoyable. Since day 1, Dave provided me honest estimates and excellent service for my car, and I have only positive things to say about everyone who works at Wiygul. I recommend this shop to all of my friends in the area.

For more than 20 years, Wiygul Automotive on South Pickett Street in Alexandria has been our "go-to" spot for car maintenance and repair. Not only is the job done right, every single person on staff is customer focused. We can't speak highly enough about the entire Wiygul team!
--Rob & Chrystal Young
I have been a customer of Reston Automotive foe over 15 years. They have serviced vehicles from multiple manufacturers for me. Work is done well and timely. I appreciate that I get information about other things that may need attention with recommendations for what is critical and what is optional. Staff is always friendly and takes the time to explain what is going on with the car.
