we have done these kind of procedures so many times ...and haven;t fail the inspection once yet...back then we have to tow the vehicle to the inspection place after fixing it, but now all we have to do is turn in the paper work at the title office ...(1 mile away) ...and the inspector will actualy come in 3 to 7 days and inspect it on the spot.....the paper work process just takes time but doesn;t cost alot....
