To start or continue driving for Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare platforms, you need to complete a 19–22 point rideshare vehicle inspection every year or every 50,000 miles. Many drivers still go to a Greenlight Hub or inspection shop near them, but you don’t have to.

With Tinker Rideshare Inspections, you can complete your Uber and Lyft car inspection online—fast, affordable, and 100% virtual. Our ASE-certified mechanics guide you through the entire rideshare inspection checklist in minutes via live video chat.

No long waits, no extra trips, and no hidden fees. With a transparent rideshare inspection cost and bundle deals, you can take care of both Uber and Lyft requirements in one certified virtual session—anytime, anywhere.

Every driver must pass a safety inspection before they can get on the road with Lyft. The process is guided by the official Uber and Lyft inspection checklist and recorded on the Uber and Lyft driver car inspection form (PDF). Mechanics or authorized inspectors use this sheet to confirm your vehicle meets Lyft’s requirements.

Here’s what’s included in a standard rideshare vehicle checklist:

✅ Brakes – inspected for proper function and stopping distance

✅ Tires – adequate tread depth and no visible damage

✅ Lights – headlights, tail lights, turn signals, and brake lights must all work

✅ Windows & Windshield – free of major cracks or obstructions

✅ Mirrors – both rearview and side mirrors intact and functional

✅ Horn – must operate properly

✅ Seatbelts – working and available for all seats

✅ Doors & Latches – must open, close, and lock securely

✅ Exhaust system – no leaks or excessive noise

✅ Bumpers & Body – safe condition, no sharp edges or major damage

Once complete, the inspector signs the Uber or Lyft inspection sheet. You’ll then receive a copy of the rideshare vehicle inspection form (PDF) to upload directly to your Lyft driver account. Download the rideshare inspection forms by state here.

A local mechanic shop is where many drivers go to complete their required rideshare vehicle inspection before getting on the road. At these locations, partner mechanics review your car using the official rideshare inspection checklist to ensure it meets all driver and vehicle requirements.

While a rideshare inspection location near me might seem convenient, there are drawbacks: limited availability, city-specific inspection sites, long wait times, and unpredictable rideshare inspection costs.
