Maine vehicle inspection

[MinnieSpook]

If you live in Maine, where do you get the state vehicle inspection performed for your Rivian. We are in Augusta, and need to get our new R1T inspected. Thanks for your help!

Some idiot is going to reply, “In Maine.”

I would bet that most, if not all, inspection stations have done inspections on many EV's so it's probably not an issue for any of them to check your tires, lights, brakes, and windshield. . If you need an emission inspection and they ask you where the engine is you might want to find another inspection station.

Most auto repair shops are licensed inspection points.

I think one way to check if the inspection station has experience with Rivian is to ask if they have the required jack pucks. I know in Vermont part of the inspection requires putting the truck on a lift. Not sure if Maine is the same.

That was my first question of the mechanics I've called because the Maine annual vehicle inspection also requires putting the truck on a lift. I just got off the phone with the service department of a Toyota dealer in Topsham whose website says they service Tesla vehicles (tire rotations, etc.). Figured it was worth a call to see if they were interested in branching out to other electric vehicles, especially since rumor has it the dealership owner has a Rivian. Guess what? They bought the jack pucks! Thanks for writing.

The Toyota dealer drives a Rivian?!?!
Should tell Rivian head office that story!
