What must be done after a vehicle undergoes repairs?

When a vehicle undergoes repairs, it is crucial that it is re-inspected by the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) before being put back into service. This re-inspection ensures that all repairs meet safety and operational standards required for for-hire vehicles. Ensuring compliance with these regulations is vital not only for the safety of the passengers but also for the integrity of the for-hire vehicle industry.

The requirement for re-inspection serves as a quality control measure, verifying that the vehicle is roadworthy and meets all necessary criteria established by the TLC. Other steps, such as notifying passengers about repairs or any changes to training requirements for the driver, are not mandated as part of the process to return the vehicle to service. Additionally, repainting is not a general requirement unless specified by particular repair conditions or if the vehicle's branding or identification changes.
