Reply to comment by bigjohnsons34 in Experience with salvage title inspection? by ColCrockett

I’ll have all the forms filled out and the car brought by AAA. Do you know how anal they tend to be with the inspection? Also do you know if you can just drive off if you pass the inspection?

Extremely. They go over anything.

I knew one guy who got failed because a TPMS sensor was reporting a low battery, wasn't even non-functioning, just throwing a light for low battery.

All of my electronics are functioning, the only thing is the door is slightly dented and I haven’t replaced it yet because the body shop hasn’t found a replacement in the same color. It’s totally safe and closes just fine, will that likely cause it to fail?

I don't think they would have an issue there, but you need to look at everything else they would look for if we still had safety inspections, they will look for worn suspension, brakes, tires, wipers, horn, handbrake, seatbelts make sure every single bulb works, including the plate light....etc..

Ok we’re all good there, tires are new, suspension was replaced about a year ago. Might have to check the wipers lol but I know they function just fine. Do you know if you can drive off if you pass inspection? Thanks for the tips!

I honestly don't know, every time I've been with or around it happening, they trailer it in and out again simply because they brought the car on the trailer and still need to get everything back.

Thanks, do you know if can drive it off the trailer there? I’m having AAA bring it it and I don’t want to kept the driver there longer than he had to lol
