What is the minimum number of hours an inspection station must be open?

An inspection station in Pennsylvania is required to operate a minimum of 40 hours per week unless it has obtained a waiver. This regulation ensures that inspection services are sufficiently available to meet public demand and to maintain vehicle safety standards through regular inspections. Operating hours are not only a matter of convenience for consumers but also reflect the commitment of the inspection station to facilitate compliance with state regulations. A waiver can be granted under specific circumstances if the station cannot meet the required hours, but without such an exemption, the standard remains set at 40 hours per week.
