A roadside out-of-service order costs you a driver, a load, and a hit to your safety record. Most of the defects that trigger one are cheap to catch in the shop. These are the items our 86-point DOT inspection flags most often.
- Brakes out of adjustment or below minimum
- Air leaks and low air pressure buildup
- Steering play beyond spec
- Tire tread below legal depth or sidewall damage
- Inoperative lamps and reflectors
- Cracked frame rails or loose cross-members
- Leaking wheel seals
- Suspension component wear
- Exhaust and emission faults
An 86-point inspection runs $250 to $600 and turns a surprise violation into a scheduled repair. We fix the flagged items and issue documentation the same visit. Book your inspection at (714) 909-1844.
