What happens if my car fails an e-check?
My car's inspection is coming up, and I'm worried that the catalytic converter is bad, but I can't afford to have it looked at beforehand. What happens if my car fails an e-check?

If your car fails echeck, you won’t be able to register your vehicle —in most cases, you can’t legally drive until the car is repaired and passes the test.
Depending on the repairs your vehicle needs, the cost of fixing your car for an e-check can vary. Once you’ve had it serviced, you can bring it back in for a second inspection (and hopefully pass).
Failed twice? In some statesyou might qualify for a waiver— you’ll want to look into your local DMVs policies for more info since every state is different.
