mk3supra Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 So say we had a SC salvage title.. and when trying to transfer the title into ohio they said they want an inspection.. but the inspection wont accept an out of state title so say we can get a temp plate and and then switch the sc title to ohio.. then make the inspection appointment has anyone gone through one of these appointments? It says it requires all the receipts and they may require you to take panels off? What if you bought the car with a salvage title and don't have reciepts for whatever was fixed because it was bought already rebuilt? Do they really make you take your car apart? Also, how do they know what has been fixed? Old police or insurance reports? Or is it just a general inspection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 We didn't have to take panels off for ours but it was an in state title. They just did a general once over to make sure it looked complete and safe and everything functioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 For a salvage title inspection..... The inspector only cares about the parts on their list. When they inspect the vehicle they are going to check the VIN# on all the body panels that have it. If you replaced any of those parts, make sure you take the receipt from the place you bought it or if you bought it from an individual you need to get a receipt and have it notarized or they will give you a hard time. They can confiscate your parts if you don't have the correct paper work for what you replaced. The entire appointment took about 20 minutes once I pulled the car in the bay.

Mark1647545493 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 From http://bmv.ohio.gov/salvage_inspection.stm Major Component Parts List * Air Bag(s) Bumper Dash Deck Lid Doors Engine Frame Front Fenders Hatchback Hood Rear Door Rear Quarters Transmission Tailgate * Receipts may also be required for any parts with a fair market value of $100.00 or more. Any parts presented that are questionable or missing vehicle identification numbers are subject to seizure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk3supra Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 how do they know what was replaced? and i'm guessing you did your repairs.. what if the car was purchased already repaired? aka no receipts because you didnt pay for the repairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you find the bodyshop that did the repairs and get the receipt for the repairs from them? There's nothing I know to do to get around the receipt issue. That is one thing they are anal about. They don't care if the doors are held on with band aids and the engine is knocking like a wood pecker, they'll pass it as long as all the paperwork and VIN's jive.

mjrsplat Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 ^ sounds more like a typical out of state title transfer inspection.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
