What must STAR Test and Repair Stations perform after emissions-related repairs?

• A. Pre-repair inspections.
• B. Post a notice to customers.
• C. License repairs to specific technicians.
• D. After-repairs tests for all vehicles given emissions-related repairs.

Answer: (D)

After emissions-related repairs, you must verify that the fix actually corrected the problem and that the vehicle now meets emissions standards. That means STAR Test and Repair Stations are required to perform an after-repairs test on every vehicle that received emissions-related work. This verification uses the appropriate emissions test for the vehicle (usually the same type of test used in the inspection) and confirms whether the vehicle passes. If it still fails, further repairs are performed and another test is required before a certificate can be issued.

This approach ensures the repair did what it was supposed to do and protects the customer by documenting a successful result. Pre-repair inspections, posting notices to customers, or licensing repairs to specific technicians are not the requirements in this scenario.
