A Maryland state safety inspection is required for most vehicles before registration. The Wiygul Automotive Clinic in Clinton, MD, and our other locations provide a thorough safety examination that allows you to register your automobile, motorcycle, or trailer and gets you quickly back on the road.
Each inspection takes about 1.5 hours for each vehicle. After completing the inspection checklist, our automotive techs provide a detailed report on every vehicle to show that each part and system passed the state requirement or the reason for why it failed. The fee for each Clinton, MD state safety inspection is $125 per vehicle.
Superb customer support and quick service are a long-standing family tradition for us. Our founder, James Earl Wiygul, decided that taking care of the customer should be the priority of every garage and we still follow that priority 60 years later. In 2014 we expanded our Virginia operations into Maryland with the purchase of five auto repair shops located in Clinton, Fort Washington, La Plata, North Waldorf and South Waldorf.
