Kia MA State Inspection serving Lexington, MA
Lexington is approximately 16 minutes from our Stoneham shop on Pine Street. We see customers from Lexington, Arlington, Burlington, Bedford, Waltham, and the wider Middlesex County area every week. Most Lexington driving runs through Massachusetts Avenue, Bedford Street, and Route 2A, which shapes the wear pattern on the vehicles we service.
Lexington skews to high-end European cars and Tesla. We keep CHAdeMO/CCS-equivalent diagnostic adapters on hand and have the chassis lifts rated for the Model X/S battery pack drops.
