A Maryland Vehicle State Inspection must be performed on most vehicles before they can be registered for operation. The Ft Washington MD Wiygul Automotive Clinic provides a thorough inspection which quickly puts you and your vehicle back on the road and state highways. The efficient customer service and satisfaction is a tradition that started over 40 years ago.
Oscar Wiygul, Sr. and his wife Sue opened their first Automotive Clinic in Alexandria back in 1976. They purchased their second location in Alexandria ten years later and then went on to open two more Automotive Clinics in Reston and Herndon in 2006.
Eight years later, we expanded operations into Maryland. Our automotive clinics in Fort Washington, Clinton, La Plata, North Waldorf and South Waldorf employ dozens of service writers and automotive technicians. We are proud to provide our customers in Maryland with the same quality auto service and customer satisfaction.
Each MD state inspection for an Ft Washington vehicle takes around 1.5 hours. Our trained technicians provide a detailed report after each inspection to show that each part and system passed or explain the reason why it did not.
The MD State Inspection is divided into four categories: Autos and trucks over 10,000 pounds (commercial vehicles), autos and trucks 10,00 pounds or less (passenger vehicles primarily), trailers, and motorcycles and three-wheel vehicles.
