Annual DOT Inspections for Commercial Vehicles
Under 49 CFR Part 396.17, every commercial motor vehicle must undergo an annual DOT inspection by a qualified inspector. This isn't a quick once-over β it covers brakes, steering, suspension, tires, lighting, frame, coupling devices, and exhaust. At Greenville Automotive Solutions, we inspect thoroughly, document findings, and if repairs are needed to pass, we handle them on-site. Don't wait for a roadside surprise on US-264.
