Customer Reviews

How Long Does a Hybrid or EV Inspection Take in Sacramento?

Most hybrid and EV inspections in Sacramento take about an hour, although the exact time depends on the vehicle’s make, age, and condition. CarInspect’s certified inspectors conduct a thorough on-site evaluation, which includes diagnostic testing, a full road test, and a review of potential issues unique to hybrid and electric systems. Our goal is to provide you with a clear, detailed picture of the car’s condition so you can make an informed buying decision.

Do Electric Cars Need to Be Inspected?

Yes. While electric vehicles often require less frequent maintenance than gas-powered cars, they still benefit from professional inspections — especially before purchase. EVs can have issues with charging systems, cooling components, or internal electronics that aren’t visible at first glance.
