Inspections are performed Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM.
Noncommercial vehicle inspections are performed without the need to schedule an appointment.
A printed copy of the current registration is needed for a vehicle inspection.
The Massachusetts state inspection fee for a non-commercial vehicle is $35.00.
Commercial vehicles are considered any vehicle with a GVWR of over 10,000, placard vehicles, or any vehicle with a dual wheel rear axle.
What types of payments are accepted for inspections?
At Riverside Auto we accept cash, local checks or credit/debit cards, with the exclusion of American Express.
I renewed my registration online and have not received my new registration yet. What should I do?
After completing a registration renewal online, the Massachusetts RMV will send a feedback email to the email affiliated with the vehicle. This feedback email is to be used as a temporary registration and the vehicle can now be inspected.
I have lost my registration how do I get a new one?
Similar to renewing a registration online, a duplicate copy of a current registration can be printed without the need to renew. By heading to the Massachusetts RMV website and selecting Replace Registration, a copy can be printed after following the prompt on the website.
I recently bought my car out from a lease and have new plates do I need a new inspection?
When new plates are affixed to a vehicle, a new inspection sticker is needed to coincide with the current plate on the vehicle.
