Can inspection stations adjust their business days and hours?

Inspection stations in Maryland have the ability to adjust their business days and hours, but this requires written approval from the division. This provision allows the inspection stations to maintain flexibility in their operations while ensuring that any changes align with the overarching regulations and standards established by the state. By requiring written approval, the division can monitor and regulate the inspection process effectively, ensuring that public safety and compliance standards are upheld.

The need for written approval serves as a control mechanism, ensuring that all inspection stations follow appropriate protocols and maintain availability for vehicle owners seeking services. This flexibility helps accommodate business needs while still being accountable to regulatory standards.
