Thanks, do you know if you can drive off once it passes?

I saw that but it doesn’t really make it clear in next steps:

“Once the vehicle passes the salvage inspection, you can re-register the vehicle with the old plates or get new plates. You will be issued a new title (without the "salvage" stamp on it) with the words "Rebuilt" printed on it. Once the salvage inspection is performed, the inspection slip does not expire.”

So can that be done right then and there?

Probably get a temp plate but i could be wrong. We have done this but have a dealer plate so immediate registration isn't required just procurement of title.

I still have the regular plates on the car and the title marked salvage. Hopefully they let me drive away lol

The vehicle has to be towed there for the inspection. You drive, they will fail you.

Yeah I’m getting it taken on a flat bed by AAA. Can you drive off if it passes inspection?
