Vehicle Inspection Requirements

The state of Kansas doesn’t mandate a periodic inspection for non-commercial vehicles. However, the state has a Motor Vehicle Enforcement (MVE) that mandates a VIN inspection on certain vehicles before they receive a Kansas title and registration. The VIN inspection is required for: all out-of-state vehicles, a reconstructed vehicle, and when the proper vehicle identification of the vehicle is in doubt.

They lack communication, they offer empty promises, and they are not timely. This is very common with this dealership. Thumbs down!

Everyone was very friendly and always greeted us immediately when entering. Our sales person made time for us, each time we entered and if he was unavailable would make sure we were taken care of.

Wonderful experience here - came for maintenance and Amber made sure I understood not only what needed to happen, but why. No pressure, no upselling extra services, just honest help from someone who knows her stuff! Felt like I was being taken care of by someone who genuinely just wants my car to stay in good shape.
