It is a misdemeanor for an inspector to knowingly issue, or a motorist to knowingly accept, an inspection sticker unless a full and proper inspection has been performed. Your vehicle must then pass a new inspection, at an inspection station of your choice, before an inspection sticker will be issued. Your vehicle may be taken to any registered repair shop, or you may make the required repairs yourself.

You are not required to have your vehicle repaired or re-inspected at the station that performed the initial inspection. If your vehicle fails the safety and/or emissions inspection, the inspection station must have your permission before beginning any repairs. The inspection must be done in a licensed inspection station displaying an official sign, and must be performed by a certified motor vehicle inspector. If an appointment is made, the station may require a deposit that cannot exceed the inspection fee. When a vehicle inspection is requested, an inspection station must inspect any vehicle it is licensed to inspect or must provide, in writing, an appointment date that is within eight working days. The inspection must be done before the expiration date of the current inspection sticker, and whenever the vehicle becomes registered in a different name.
