New Hampshire drivers may have noticed a major change: annual state vehicle inspections are no longer required. While this removes a legal requirement, it doesn’t change the importance of keeping your vehicle safe, reliable, and roadready—especially with New England driving conditions. 

That’s why TriCity Subaru in Somersworth, NH offers a Free Vehicle Safety Check, helping drivers from Dover, Rochester, Portsmouth, and Southern Maine stay confident behind the wheel—even without an inspection sticker. 

 

What’s Included in a Free Safety Check at TriCity Subaru? 

Our complimentary safety check is performed by Subarutrained technicians at our Somersworth service center and includes an inspection of key safety and wearandtear items, such as: 

  • Steering and suspension components 
  • Exterior lights, wipers, and visibility features 
  • Fluid levels and underhood basics 

While New Hampshire inspections are no longer required, this safety check helps ensure your vehicle would meet common inspection standards in neighboring states and stay dependable yearround. 

 

Why Safety Checks Still Matter Without NH State Inspections 

State inspections once served as a routine reminder to stay on top of vehicle safety. Without that requirement, it’s even more important to proactively monitor items that impact braking, traction, visibility, and reliability. 

Regular safety checks help: 

  • Catch issues early—before they become expensive repairs 
  • Reduce the risk of breakdowns or safety concerns 
  • Keep your vehicle prepared for travel outside New Hampshire 

For drivers in Somersworth, Dover, Rochester, and the Seacoast, the Free Safety Check is an easy, nocost way to stay informed.
