Yes, states like Colorado where old cars go to die after they can't live in states with inspections.

The inspection process is still a joke. So many crappy cars that shouldn't pass inspection but have fresh stickers on them rolling down the road. Plus all the inspection proves is the car was good to go on that day. If maybe they upped the requirements on it and removed the shady inspectors then the program would do some good. All it does now is fleece 16 bucks for each automobile you own each year + more depending on what bs shop you go to saying your headlights need to be aligned or your corner markers are too hazy.

Thanks for the neg rep bud. Thats nice.
How are you going to say they need to "maybe they upped the requirements on it..." and at the same time say "your headlights need to be aligned or your corner markers are too hazy."
First of all, headlight aiming is something you can fail for, "foggy" corner markers no. In all my years of doing this I have never seen foggy corner marker lights, Headlights yes. Fogged over headlights is something else you can fail for.
I agree, there are some shitty things the state of Va. puts into the inspection man. but they are there for a reason and should be followed. In my opinion the only "shady" inspection stations are the ones that do not follow the book 100%
I have a very good relationship with my trooper who over sees my station and have learned over many years, that if my techs and I follow the book 100% of the time all the time, there wont be any issues.
So what do you want? A shop that followes the book, nomatter how you feel about the laws, or a shady shop, that looks past all the small things you think are stupid?
