LEX BRODIE'S STATE OF HAWAII VEHICLE SAFETY CHECK
Lex Brodie's is happy to provide State of Hawaii Annual Safety Inspection Services. Unfortunately, after the new digitally documented Safety Inspections were required, many shops stopped performing the annual Safety Inspections. As a result, the remaining shops are often overloaded with Safety Inspection request.
It is highly recommended to NOT WAIT till the end of the month to get your inspection. To avoid the last minute rush, we recommend scheduling a mid-month inspection before it expires.
We also recommend using our Lex Brodie's Easy On-Line Appointment Tool to set your Safety Inspection appointment to help reduce your waiting time.
Please note, properly performed Safety Inspections take time, the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation provides a 25 page manual on the proper inspection process! Due to the consistent volume of inspections, along with the digitally documented procedure for the 30+ items inspected; we recommend budgeting for up to one and half hours waiting time with an appointment. "Walk In" Safety Inspections are welcome, but it's best to plan for up to a 3 to 4 hour wait since we'll be working the "Walk In" Safety Inspection in with the scheduled appointments and other various work request that have been dropped off previously.
KEY TIME SAVING TIP: Schedule your appointment mid month BEFORE it expires.
