A Maryland state safety inspection must be performed on most vehicles before they can be registered for operation. The Wiygul Automotive Clinic in Fort Washington, MD provides a complete safety check that allows you to register your vehicle and puts you on the road as quickly as possible.
Quick service and superior customer support are a 60-year family tradition for us. James Earl Wiygul decided shortly into his automotive career that taking care of the customer was the priority of every garage and we follow that still today. In 2014 we expanded our operations in Maryland with the purchase of five auto repair shops located in Clinton, Fort Washington, La Plata, North Waldorf and South Waldorf.
The inspection takes around 1.5 hours for each Fort Washington, MD vehicle. After completing the safety check, our technicians provide a detailed report on every vehicle to show that each system or part passed the Maryland state requirement or the reason for why not. The fee for each MD state safety inspection is $125 per vehicle.
The MD state safety inspection requirements for Fort Washington, MD vehicles are divided into four categories: Autos and trucks 10,00 pounds or less (passenger vehicles primarily), autos and trucks over 10,000 pounds (commercial vehicles), trailers, and motorcycles and three-wheel vehicles.
