Yeah my state has gotten rid of inspections and it’s baffling to me.
Inspections were cancelled because it was shown that they actually led to more accidents. A small percentage of the time mechanics didn't tighten bolts, back on correctly, after removing a wheel to inspect brake pads. The vast majority of accidents are caused by speeding, not because a wheel brakes free and the car swerved.
Mine has been arguing this point for a while. Apparently there wasn’t really a drop of issues here when they went into place, so they question the usefulness.
That said, they’re just done incorrectly in the first place. They are done by dealers/shops that lose money in doing them and are instead banking on charging you lots of money for problems they find and hope you get fixed with them. They need be done at an independent run spot with no interest in anything but safety and no way to be bought out.
Wouldn't the dealers / shops by the most motivated to find the problems, if that's the case?
Over my 25 yrs driving and getting inspected here, I’ve found a mix of issues.. I always inspect my car before dropping it off, most times in their own parking lot.
One issue with the first is that the state doesn’t actually pay them enough per hour that it makes sense to take their time and do it right… they just crank them through finding obviously high money making issues and skipping the rest.
They're so motivated, they find problems that don't exist!
