If your vehicle fails to meet any safety inspection criteria, the inspection site will provide you with a list of the repairs that are necessary to achieve a passing grade. You’ll be required to complete these repairs before your sticker is issued. If you fail to make necessary repairs and drive your vehicle without an up-to-date inspection sticker, you could be subject to a fine.
