BASTARDS! If you can remember the date that you got it done, you can find out the serial number from the shop you got it from. all they have to do is pull it up on the inspection computer main menu. also if you kept the printout from the inspection computer, that should have the serial number right on it. ---

OHOHOH!! It will pass no problem, but I always keep the receipt in the glove box… I never thought about that having the serial. Why would I want to pay $24 to have it reinspected when I had it done last month? ---

> [@tpgsr](#): > > Why would I want to pay $24 to have it reinspected when I had it done last month? Well, between tearing your dash apart like you said you were going to and getting a new inspection I’d rather pay the $24. But as mentioned, there are better options than either of those 2. ---

My inspection is always fine. My registration never stays on tho. With the cost to register a car, you think they could afford a little better quality glue. ---

last night on the news the guy on the phone they talked to said you needed the current sticker and the receipt of the last inspection that you had done. fuck if i would have the receipt from then, or even with the car i just bought, its all inspected when you get the car without you paying. and mine has already fallen off.
