At Chicago Safety Lane we use the world's most widely accepted and used brake tester in the industry. Braking imbalance is shown at a glance with no complicated electronics or hydraulics. The machine will produce thousands upon thousands of inspections providing a simple, fast reading. The liquid levels in each tube instantly shows the braking ability of each wheel with a fifth tube for total braking effort. It allows our CSTs to detect low, unequal or unsafe braking conditions at a glance.

Calculating the efficiency of your braking system is not enough to keep you safe; you also need to measure the side slip when driving straight. Our alignments tester mounts to the surface of our inspection lane floor. It is 3'-8" long and 12'-5" wide. Gives Toe - In and Toe - Out readings automatically as you drive over. 32,000 lb drive over capacity. Eye level scale makes reading easy, fast and accurate.
Hundreds of cars go through our safety inspection service every month, and in our experience, we learned that most people couldn’t get their vehicles certified as safe due to the emissions from their engines. We use specialized exhaust gas analyzers and diesel smoker meters that make a complete BET (Basic Emissions Test) in less than ten minutes. This also includes printing the results with a detailed diagnosis.
Our diesel emission tester will not only check to see if your car is running clean, but it will also highlight the problems that need to be fixed. The tests will be conducted by one of our professional technicians who will be there to answer all your questions.
Our ownership started out as professional safety managers in the “for hire” passenger carrier industry.

While following all rules required for Illinois Department of Transportation Inspections we also understand that your vehicles being on the road is crucial. We are here to help you meet that goal!
