What is included in the inspection fee charged for each inspection?

The inspection fee charged for each vehicle inspection in Missouri includes the certificate of inspection. This certificate serves as proof that the vehicle has passed the required safety inspection, verifying that it meets the state's safety standards. Issuing this certificate is a fundamental part of the inspection process, as it documents compliance and allows the vehicle owner to drive their vehicle legally on public roads.

The certificate also plays a crucial role in ensuring that vehicles on the road are safe for both the drivers and other road users. The importance of having such documentation cannot be overstated, as it reflects the ongoing responsibility of vehicle owners to maintain their vehicles in good working condition.

Other options, such as additional service fees, vehicle repair costs, and taxes on vehicle trade, do not typically fall under the standard inspection fee. These aspects are separate from the inspection process itself and would be handled differently depending on the specific services and agreements between vehicle owners and automotive service providers.
