Vehicle Inspections

Birmingham

 

As of December 12, 2023, the Alabama Public Service Commission has eased the Vehicle inspection rules.

The updated vehicle inspection requirements are as follows:

  • If your vehicle is 3 years old or newer, you are no longer required to upload a vehicle inspection form before providing passenger trips.
  • If your vehicle is between 3 and 9 years old, you are required to upload a vehicle inspection within 90 days of providing your first passenger trip.
  • If your vehicle is 10 years or older, you are still required to upload a vehicle inspection before the vehicle’s first trip.

If you are required to complete the 20-point vehicle inspection, you can find more details about scheduling an inspection in Birmingham below.

Passed inspection forms from other rideshare companies may also be accepted.

Annual vehicle inspections

1. Download an inspection form

Alabama regulations require applicable Uber partners to get a 20-point vehicle inspection, dependent on vehicle age. If you are required to complete your vehicle inspection requirement, please print a copy of the official Uber inspection form and bring it to a certified service technician to fill out and sign. This form is accepted statewide. Other forms will only be accepted if they satisfy the same requirements as the official Uber form available below.

2. Find an inspection center

You can get an inspection at any American Advanced Technicians Institute (AATI) or Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) licensed mechanic in your area, including those not on this list.

Passed Inspection forms from other rideshare companies may also be accepted.

3. Upload the completed form

Once you pass, upload the form to your account. A member of our team will review and approve the form for you ASAP. Uber does not cover repairs or maintenance to pass an inspection.
