How much does a Midas car inspection cost?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> The cost of a state inspection at a Midas store can range anywhere from $10 to $80 or more. The price will vary depending on where you live and what needs to be included in the inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that state inspections are not available at all Midas locations\u2014some states require you to complete testing at a designated DMV location, while others only require testing in certain areas of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the cost of a Midas inspection where testing is available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>State<\/th><th>Inspection cost<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"\/car-insurance\/connecticut\/\">Connecticut<\/a><\/td><td>$20.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"\/car-insurance\/georgia\/\">Georgia<\/a><\/td><td>Starting at $20.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hawaii<\/td><td>Starting at $20.99 if purchased online.

There are two main types of car inspections that may be required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Safety tests:<\/strong> These tests ensure the safety features of your car, like your lights and signals, are in good working order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emissions testing: <\/strong>This test has two parts\u2014an OBD check to ensure your car isn\u2019t hiding any major issues, plus an exhaust gas analysis to measure the levels of pollutants like carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in your exhaust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact process involved in your car inspection will depend on what\u2019s required where you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-schedule\">How to schedule your car inspection with Midas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To schedule an appointment for your inspection, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midas.com\/store\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.midas.com\/store\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Midas website<\/a> and search for the store nearest you.

You can also choose whether you\u2019re going to drop off the vehicle or stay and wait. Add any comments the technician should know before doing the inspection, then click \u201cContinue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the next screen, provide your contact information as well as the year, make, and model of your vehicle.
