When must you arrange for your car to be inspected by a garage?

You answered correctly. In Germany, you must have your car inspected by a garage if there is damage to the chassis or to the steering system. Both of these are critical components for vehicle safety and must be checked by professionals to ensure your car remains safe to drive. Damage to the paintwork, however, does not require a garage inspection, as it is not directly related to the safety or functionality of the vehicle. Always make sure to take any structural or steering problems seriously and arrange for a professional inspection. This helps ensure both your safety and the safety of others on the road.
