What is a conditional pass?
If you have your vehicle repaired at an AirCare Certified Repair Centre and the vehicle still fails its second inspection, your vehicle qualifies for a conditional pass. This will allow you to re-license and insure your vehicle for up to one year. Conditional passes allow motorists to defer the cost of expensive repairs over time instead of all at once, but not to indefinitely allow that vehicle to continue to operate with excess emissions. If your vehicle fails its inspection and your repair shop indicated the defects that are not yet repaired, you should have these repairs done as soon as possible. If your repair shop did not indicate that further repairs are required, you should return to the shop for a re-evaluation of your vehicle. It is always recommended that motorists authorize complete repairs on their vehicle. A vehicle that has its emission system defects fully repaired rarely fails subsequent emissions inspections.
