A Maryland Vehicle State Inspection must be performed on most vehicles before they can be registered for operation. The Wiygul Automotive Clinic in Clinton MD can provide a complete inspection that returns you and your vehicle to our local roads and state highways as quickly as possible. Efficient service and superb customer satisfaction are traditions that go back over 40 years for our business and our family.
Oscar Wiygul, Sr. and his wife Sue opened the first Wiygul Automotive Clinic in Alexandria on South Pickett Street back in 1976. They purchased a second garage in Alexandria ten years later and then went on to open two more locations in Herndon and Reston in 2006.
Eight years later, they extended operations into Maryland. Our automotive clinics in Clinton, Fort Washington, La Plata, North Waldorf and South Waldorf employ dozens of automotive technicians and service writers. We proudly expand our customer base and bring our traditions of customer satisfaction and quality auto repair and service to a whole new state.
The MD state inspection takes around 1.5 hours for each Clinton, MD vehicle. After completion, our trained technicians provide a detailed report on every vehicle to show if each part or system passed Maryland’s requirements. When our trusted, knowledgeable technicians finish, they prepare an inspection report that shows which vehicle parts or systems examined and if they met Maryland’s inspection standards.
