Latter was all free :-+. They send you the report via email with full video of them doing it linked.
Full £54.85 but worth it IMHO over cheaping it out for a tenner saving.
Still done bugger all miles. Just hit 35k on a 2014 car.

$65 USD for an annual inspection? Fucking robbery. NYS annual inspection is fixed at $21 USD assuming no repairs to make it pass.

Yeah but if you drive a piece of trash they just register it out of state so there's no charge so the whole system is pointless there. So $21 is robbery :-DD

Most states do have annual inspections. Two that I can think of that do not are Connecticut and Illinois.

Thank you very much.
If they are legit but can't even get a website to load yet still advertise it in the e-mails they sent out to people, I am not sure I would want to work for them... the HR dept. would probably not pay me because " Sorry our payroll S/W fails to load, we apologize for the inconvenience... ".

EDIT : forum fails to display the thumbnail pic or let me link / embed it in this message... it only lets one download the picture that's all. Oh well.... here is what the error says :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/caretech/www/wp-includes/pomo/entry.php on line 61

Care technology consulting really cares about technology so much that they can't fix their shitty web site.
So yeah I wouldn't bother.

I dunno that it's relevant... from what I've heard and read back when I was batty over the SR-71 and spent days staying up into the wee hours reading the recently declassified bits of their service history, the business Vince works in tends to cater to mega-corporations and defense contractors (aerospace manufacturing).
One of the things I picked up on in the course of that research was that those entities all generally tend to deal with each other on a "it's who you know" basis. Having a modern public face would not really be that high on their priority list... in fact, discretion tends to be a valued stock in trade. It was part of the reason so little of the history of these amazing aircraft was widely known. :-//
I may be completely wrong in that understanding... but that was what I made of the "gestalt" of aerospace in general. I have no idea how much that has changed since; Ifni knows the area where I am now used to live & breathe aerospace. Now, not so much. :P

Same error. Waybackmachine has something but not much:

Linkedin doesn't help much either.

CT has a $20 "emissions" test which is basically this: They plug in a OBDII scanner and confirm that the ECM doesn't have any current codes and that it returns a positive for all applicable "Systems Readiness Tests". In English, this means that you didn't just park the car and clear the codes; it's been driven long enough to do the readiness tests and not throw a MIL. In many vehicles, that's as little as 5 minutes/5 miles. :palm:
Pass, and you're good to go for 2 years.
However... my experience has been that states which don't have a annual safety inspection tend to be a bit more gung-ho on cops checking/ticketing for safety issues like bad lights, wipers and tires, and especially loud exhaust.
Such "fix-it tickets" can get very expensive very fast. :bullshit:

TERRA Operative:
In Japan the Shaken (pronounced with a hard 'a' as in cat or shat) costs roughly between US$800 and USD$1600 and is performed every 2 years on passenger vehicles.
Granted it includes Paperwork fee, Inspection fee, Compulsory vehicle insurance and Vehicle weight tax so more than just the raw inspection is rolled into one final cost.
You can think of it as registration, compulsory insurance and inspection all mashed together into one final number.
If you do it yourself, the cost is greatly reduced as you aren't paying a mechanic to roll your car through the inspection station, but then you pay in your time...
We get our local Toyota dealership to do it for the low end of the cost scale as they can do it in-house in an afternoon and they give us good pricing as I'm in there all the time buying crap and getting the car religiously serviced etc.
