IDOT Safety lanes – How it applies to a salvage vehicle?

Getting your vehicle taken out of salvage status will require you to pass a safety inspection by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). 

The salvage vehicle needs to be tested to make sure it is safe for the road.

Also, make sure you do not have a Junking Certificate or Junk Title.

If your vehicle is missing a headlight, a door, exterior body panel about to fall of the vehicle, safety belt locked, brakes malfunctioning, leaking hoses or
tubes, frayed belts, bald tires, etc. it will not pass the safety inspection and your vehicle will remain in the salvage condition until the necessary repairs are made. 

Appointments are usually not necessary and you can show up as first come, first served. Fees for inspections will vary from lane to lane, but typically, prices range from $20-$25.

A list of safety facilities can be found by clicking this link. http://www.idot.illinois.gov/Assets/uploads/files/Transportation-
System/Specialty-Lists/Safety/LanesForInternet.pdf


Once you have passed the safety inspection you will receive a signed safety inspection form and a safety sticker for your windshield. The safety inspection form is vital to getting your title taken out of salvage. Leaving the safety sticker affixed to your windshield is also important because
it’s required for your second inspection that will be performed by the Illinois Secretary of State Police.

Your licensed salvage auto rebuilder will need your safety form to go along with other documents that are required by Illinois to insure your title will be rebuilt.


A permit allowing you to drive the vehicle can be requested by the licensed rebuilder to the Illinois Secretary of State Police for those in need of doing both inspections.

Most questions regarding permits can be answered by the licensed rebuilder.
