What is the Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection (VSSI) in California?

Brake and Light Inspection (Safety Inspection): How it Works

Do you have a “salvage” vehicle and want to get back on the road in California? At El Monte Easy Auto, our BAR-certified inspectors will help you meet the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requirements.

What does the inspection involve?

Our comprehensive inspection focuses on ensuring the safety of your vehicle and other drivers. We evaluate the following systems:

  • Passenger compartment: We verify that seats, seat belts, mirrors (side and rear view), glass (front and rear), and windshield wipers are in perfect condition and working order.
  • Tires: All tires, including the spare, must have good tread and the tire pressure warning light must function correctly.
  • Suspension: We evaluate both the front and rear suspension to ensure proper functioning and stability.
  • Lighting system: All exterior lights (front, rear, turn signals, brake lights, etc.) must be installed correctly and function without obstruction.
  • Brakes: We take precise measurements of rotors, drums, pads, and shoes to compare them to manufacturer specifications. We also inspect calipers, wheel cylinders, and the hydraulic system for leaks or damage.
  • Warning lights: We verify that all dashboard warning lights (airbag, traction control, anti-lock, etc.) function correctly.
