What happens if my vehicle fails the safety inspection?
Unfortunately, if your vehicle fails, you must have the problem(s) identified on the station’s inspection report fixed. Then you’ll need to have the vehicle re-inspected by the same registered inspection mechanic at the same station. You have the option of fixing the problem yourself, having the inspection station fix the problem, or taking the vehicle to another facility for repairs. If the vehicle is re-inspected within 30 days after the original inspection date and you have driven it less than 1,000 miles, the inspection station will only need to inspect the defective equipment identified during the initial inspection. However, if a new defect is visually observed during the re-inspection, it must also be repaired and re-inspected.
