If your car fails the test, you'll have 60 days to make the repairs and bring it back to the station for another test. Most repair stations should have the capability of diagnosing and repairing the source of the emissions problems.
Should you car continue to fail – even after you've made the repairs – your car registration could be suspended.
Test fees vary, but most cars should be able to have the test completed for $12.50 or less.
