Vehicle Safety Systems Inspections at Dhillon Motorsports
Introduction
At Dhillon Motorsports in San Jose, we understand the importance of ensuring your vehicle is safe and compliant with California regulations. That's why we offer certified Vehicle Safety Systems Inspections (VSSI), which have replaced the former Brake and Lamp Inspection—often mistakenly referred to as a "Brake and Light Inspection." Our team is dedicated to providing top-notch service, not just for safety inspections but also as a certified smog station.
What Is a Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection?
A Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection is a thorough check of your vehicle's critical safety features and essential components. This inspection is required for vehicles that have been retitled, involved in an accident, or reported stolen. It covers a wide range of systems, including:
Braking Systems: We check brake pads, rotors, ABS function, and brake fluid levels to ensure your vehicle can stop safely.
Lighting & Electrical Components: We inspect headlamps, taillamps, marker lamps, brake lamps, and turn signals to ensure visibility and compliance.
Steering & Suspension: Our technicians verify proper alignment and check for any signs of damage.
Tires & Wheels: We check tread depth and proper inflation to ensure your vehicle handles well on the road.

Preparing for Your Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection
To ensure your vehicle passes the inspection the first time, here are five things you can do to prepare:
Test Your Lights: Check that all exterior lights, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals, are functioning properly.
Inspect Your Tires: Ensure your tires have adequate tread depth and are properly inflated. This not only helps with safety but also improves fuel efficiency.
Check for Leaks: Look for any signs of fluid leaks under your vehicle, such as brake fluid or coolant leaks, which could indicate a problem.
Listen to Your Brakes: If you hear any unusual noises like squeaking or grinding when you apply the brakes, have them checked before the inspection.
Clear Your Windshield: Ensure there are no cracks or obstructions on your windshield that could interfere with visibility.
