What is the liability of inspection stations regarding inspection accuracy?

Inspection stations have a critical responsibility to ensure the accuracy of their inspections. When they conduct an inspection, they are essentially providing a service that affects public safety. If they perform an improper inspection—either failing to identify a significant safety issue or erroneously passing a vehicle that should not be on the road—they can be held accountable for those mistakes. This liability ensures that they maintain a high standard of service and accuracy, as failures can lead to dangerous situations for drivers and the public. Therefore, the commitment to conducting thorough and precise inspections is fundamental to their role, making them responsible for any improper inspections conducted.
