When can vehicles be inspected at any licensed inspection station?

Vehicles can be inspected at any licensed inspection station unless they fall under specific regulations that pertain to emissions testing areas. This policy allows most vehicles to be inspected at their convenience, provided that they do not require emissions testing that is limited to designated facilities. In North Carolina, emissions testing is a requirement for certain vehicles based on age, type, and geographic location. Therefore, vehicles that do not fall into these specific categories can be inspected at any licensed inspection station across the state, streamlining the process for vehicle owners and ensuring that they have easy access to inspection services without being limited by time of year or age restrictions.
