WV you pay 14.87 if you fail and you have 10 days to fix it. They also put a Fail sticker on your windshield. I failed cuz my tints were too dark. POS. Took it off and pass. paid 1 dollar. since the total was 15.87

holy old thread. In pa you pay for the inspection if it does not pass. When you bring it back within a reasonable time/mileage they only charge you for the sticker. This just happened to us with our 4runner. the exhaust didn't pass but it wasn't loud at all, but, it was 12 years old and they would know better since they do the inspections.
I took it back a week later with new exhaust and paid the $2 for the sticker.

I'm a ny state inspector. The mechanic did everything within the laws of the state. If he said she needs 3 tires, he definitely matched the one good tire.
You have NOTHING to complain about. As an enthusiast you should be ashamed of the fact that your girl drives an unsafe car. Put some damned tires on it, then pony up another $37 and get it inspected again. BUT check the inspection receipt. Of it only failed for the tires, it might only cost you $10 to reinspect it. NY state inspections are broken down into 3 parts in the NY metro area. When you get it reinspected the new receipt will have the NY state fee on it.

i understand paying for the failed inspection because it was an inspection none the less, but if you come back with new tires he should give you a break since all he has to do is see the new tires to pass you...but then again he's gonna be bitter since you gave someone else the sale and not him

My stepfather just failed an inspection yesterday on his 2012 x5 for a wheel issue(not tires)
Im pretty positive he was just being sucked into a unnecessary sale because he was at the mercy of an a-hole mechanic who saw a nice car as an opportunity -__-
...AND he paid $37 for the inspection...In NY

^ If he has a 2012 BMW, why is he not going to BMW for his inspection? We know someone who owns an inspection shop and we take two of our cars to him, but we still take the Mercedes to the dealer. Same price and much better service.
Also... when he gets reinspected and passes, he shouldn't have to pay the full fee...

Ahh, I see the difference. You guys are going to a licensed shop for inspection... Over here there is no such thing. We must go wait in a long arse line at a state inspection facility. For us there is a sign saying u don't pay for a failed test.
