Springfield Vehicle Inspection Service
One of the most important aspects of owning a car is to keep it running in tip-top shape through vehicle inspection and regularly scheduled maintenance. At Complete Automotive in Springfield, we cannot overstate the benefits of getting your vehicle inspected and to schedule maintenance on a regular basis. This not only helps your car running smoothly, but it also allows our auto mechanics to diagnose and help prevent any problems that may crop up in the future. This will save you time and money in the long run.
When you are purchasing a pre-owned car, it’s important to have it inspected by a qualified service center. The reasoning behind this is threefold:
- You’ll have a clear understanding if the vehicle you’re wanting to purchase is in poor, good, or excellent operating condition.
- Determine if a vehicle has been well- maintained or neglected in its service history.
- You’ll have a better time negotiating the deal based off of the findings during the pre-purchase inspection.
At Complete Automotive in Springfield, we have created an atmosphere that is safe, inviting, and conducts all auto repairs with integrity and care.

“We have had our cars taken care of at Complete for years now. Besides the expert work they do in keeping our cars safe and operational, they excel even more at customer service.

Vehicle License Plate Renewal
Renewing your vehicle’s license plates can be a daunting task if you don’t have the correct documents or information.
Here’s a list of items needed to renew your license plates.
- Proof of ownership: normally a copy of the title will be best, the renewal card that you received in the mail works well also.
- Proof of Insurance: you will need up-to-date proof of insurance for the minimum coverage for the state of Missouri.
- Motor Vehicle Inspection: Some refer to this as Missouri Vehicle Inspection or MVI. This is where we can help. Complete Automotive has licensed inspectors to perform this service for you. This documentation proves that your vehicle is safe to operate in the great state of Missouri.
- Proof of paid property tax: This is the one that normally trips people up when trying to renew or register their vehicle. Copies of your tax receipt are now available on most Missouri County websites, or you can obtain it from your local courthouse. Normally you will receive a copy in the mail after you pay your personal property tax.
Renewal Options:
- The Department of Revenue has several locations around the state where you can renew your license in person, please check their website for locations and operating hours.
- The DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) Website also has a link to renew online.
Moving in from Out of State:
- The process is the same as registering your vehicle when you move into the state of Missouri. You will need a Tax Waiver instead of proof of property tax. The Tax Waiver will have to be obtained from your local county courthouse.
Always check for any updates or changes in the renewal process on the official Missouri Department of Revenue website.
Remember we are here to help and serve you as needed.
