Fail Va car inspection twice?

[Anonymous]

Can you fail an inspection twice?
I failed and had 15days to remedy. I checked with dealer for part price. Then checked with inspector’s shop for price. The person I spoke to took a day off and never searched for part. Called inspector Shop again on a Monday and they actually searched and said needed more time. Next day called and said they were unable to locate a part and I’d have to go to dealer. Got live person at dealer after 2 days (left messages prior). Ordered part and scheduled me for service today. Open part and had wrong color (not their fault- they ordered right part number. It was listed incorrectly in the manufacturers system.) they searched and now need 7-10 days to get part from out of the country.

I still have until tomorrow for my 15 days to toll. Can I get reinspected and fail again, buying me another 15 days?
But at least the failed sticker will be current?
I have the receipt from the dealer saying it will be another 7-10 days. But I’m concerned an officer stopping me might not care.
This impacts the back of my interior of car so it’s safe to drive.

Thanks.

No, you have to actually get the car repaired in 15 days.

What part is on the inside and not safety-related that would cause you to fail inspection?

Put the wrong colored part in

Yes, you can go somewhere else. What is the part that caused you to fail? You should always go get a second inspection tobsee if they say the same thing. Lots of scamming going on with car inspections.
