MY CAR FAILED THE VEHICLE INSPECTION. NOW WHAT?
Sometimes seemingly little things can cause your vehicle to fail the safety inspection or emissions testing. Something as simple as a dangling muffler or a broken tail light, for example, can keep you from getting your sticker. In most cases, the issue is easily fixed and your vehicle will pass the inspection with flying colors the next time around.
Every now and again, however, a failed inspection may indicate a bigger underlying issue. When that happens (and with your prior approval, of course), our technicians can diagnose the problem quickly and suggest a course of action.
