A yearly checkup to keep your family safe and your vehicle ready for the road
Just like annual physicals help keep our bodies healthy, a yearly inspection helps ensure your vehicle is operating safely, efficiently, and reliably. An Annual Vehicle Inspection (AVI) is a comprehensive evaluation designed to identify safety concerns, maintenance needs, and potential future repairs before they turn into costly problems.
At Legacy Auto Clinic, every AVI is performed by an ASE-Certified Technician. Our team carefully reviews each system and prioritizes findings by urgency, safety impact, and overall condition—giving you a clear, easy-to-understand roadmap of what needs attention now and what can be planned for later. This approach helps you make informed decisions without pressure or surprises.
In many states, routine inspections are also required to ensure vehicles meet safety and emissions standards. Even when not mandated, annual inspections are one of the smartest ways to stay ahead of breakdowns and unexpected repairs.
