Posted by Smog-Latino on November 8th, 2019

The purpose of a brake and light inspection is to make sure that a vehicle being issued a salvage certificate is in a safe operation according to manufacturer specifications prior to being retiled. A vehicle also needs these inspections for Brake & Light to correct any defect cited by a law enforcement agency or the California Highway patrol.

When you buy a salvaged vehicle, either due to accident damage or theft of the vehicle, the California Department Of Motor Vehicles(DMV) treats the case as ownership of the vehicle is going to change, even though the owner may remain the same.

DMV requires the vehicle to get a brake and light inspection at a State Licensed Inspection station to conduct a thorough and complete examination of Brake and lamp components which may have been possibly damaged or misaligned due to an accident or resulting of theft damage.

When the process is successfully completed and passed a certificate is issued to be presented to the DMV or law agencies of correction of any cited component for the safety of the vehicle.
