Took my truck for an inspection the other day, it passed emissions but failed safety due to a hairline crack in my rear pad. After declining the $400 job they said I would have to REPAY for safety inspection if I had the work done somewhere else. My friend who was a mechanic for a few years says that is BS, that I have 30 days to fix and return and not be recharged for the safety inspection . Anybody know on this? ---

I thought it was 10 days to fix it and return? I don’t know for sure what it is but they are supposed to grant you some grace period to fix it and come back. ---

Im guessing you took it to a chain place. Ive learned to never do that. Theyll always ‘find’ something wrong to make money off of while an independent shop is usually more honest and doesnt try to fuck you as hard. ---

A quick, simple DMV search netted these results: > An inspection sticker is not issued until both inspections are passed. > If you return the vehicle to the same inspection station within 30 days, it requires a reinspection of the failed inspection only. You are required to pay the reinspection fee only. > If you take the vehicle to another inspection station or wait 30 days after the failed inspection, the vehicle must get both inspections again. You must pay for both inspections again. ([http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/vehsafe.htm](http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/vehsafe.htm)) ---

Depends on what it fails for… Safety is $10 Emissions is $11 You can pull any wheel. You only need to pull one, but you can pull more if you want/feel is necessary. Some places there is a grace period where they will re-inspect for free, but they are not required to by NYS. ---

as a inspector , a front wheel needs to be pulled reguardless . there is technically no reason to pull a rear wheel unless ya see that its grinding or a squeeler is hitting . the only other reason is if the e-brake dont hold . if ya fail a safety inspec its a 11 dollar charge idf its a emmision its 10 dollar . ---

Ok so sounds about fair. I brought it to midas or monroe or some shit, my own cheap ass fault i had a 50% off coupon for nys inspection and the garage was empty at the time. So then they try harder than fuck to find something wrong. He pulled all the wheels, and the rear calipers, where the pads where getting along in their life. ---

If they have a coupon for less than the $21 NYS inspection fee you can almost guarantee youre gonna get fucked. ---

So then they try harder than fuck to find something wrong. He pulled all the wheels, and the rear calipers, where the pads where getting along in their life. I will have to reread the inspection rules, but I was told by DMV officials that I’m not allowed to remove calipers and pads on inspections. Pulling all 4 wheels is legit, but unless the pads were metal to metal or hitting the wear indicators they really shouldn’t have failed it. The way the law reads if I remember correctly the friction material is suppose to be separating from the backing or the friction surface would have to be severly damaged. If there was only a very small crack they shouldn’t have failed your truck. Post a picture of the pad so John, myself and the other inspectors can take a look.
