My state (and the neighbor state) eliminated inspections about 25 years ago and there has never been an uptick of unsafe vehicles. The only ones that were hurt were crooked or unscrupulous auto repair shops who demanded expensive repairs in order to get a sticker.
It is pretty foolish to have our vehicles inspected every year, to ensure that our vehicles are fit for our roads. When our roads are not fit for out vehicles.
Ohio seems to do well without them. Time to get rid of it. Nothing but a waste of time
Oh and not to mention LEGALIZED EXTORTION !
FLORIDA, MICHIGAN, COLORADO to name a few states, they don't have it and the people are fine with it HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS UPON YEARS ! This just comes down to YOUR DRAMA AND YOUR GREED !
cartel makes a fortune off it, the old folks have big mouth forgetting how it was when they were young and couldn't afford this extra crap
Guess that never happened
Please do away with them it's a scam
if you cant hear or feel a bad wheel bearing or a bad brakes then you have bigger problems. I keep my cars and a few buddy's cars in tip top then you go to a shop and they try and tell you you need brakes and drums in the rear when they got less then 1k miles on both and it needed inner and outer tie rods when I had checked it the week before it when for its inspection to make sure it didn't need any thing and I at the time had a PA inspection lic just didn't work at a shop the rear shoes was 8/32 bonded Callahan ceramic thank god we live in a small town we started spreading to double check anything they say is bad it didn't take to long for a lot of people to find they was being ripped off they went out of biz a few yrs later but how many got ripped off before they got busted and how many more do the same thing.. garages will make money without inspection and be just as busy just like every state that has none is and studys show it makes the roads no safer. we save 30 and tey get 15 more to help fix these crap roads
The best way to abolish vehicle inspections? Abolish them yourself by leaving Pennsylvania and moving to Ohio. 😂
Your so stupid
Or Arizona
Or any of the other 33 states that done have inspections
No inspection here in Florida anymore, it was abolished in 1981.
How did the mechanics feel about it getting abolished?
They didn't care because the state wasn't paying them very well anyway.
Pennsylvania can fail a car if the headlight candle power is insufficient or over the amount that’s in the inspection manual I believe. That state should change the name to taxalvania also . Pennsylvania also classifies electric scooters like Segway as motorcycles under vehicle code. They are legal. I believe this is the only state that does that.
It makes you wonder. Are the garages going by the inspection guide lines or are they making stuff up to gouge you all in the name of that manditory sticker.
Definitely 100% yes
So you are ok with dim or blinding headlights?
I'm very tired of being extorted, I do all the maintenance and repairs on my vehicles I take care of my vehicles meticulously and those who insist upon paying for this BULLSHIT should also have no problem paying to have my vehicles inspected as well !
You shouldn't have to leave your car at a mechanic for a day for an inspection. It's a racket.
Mechanics don't want this it's a easy 1000 dollars every time ohio does well with out it why pa
Waste of time and money, great to have them when transferring, for safety of course, but yearly this is such a waste. Everyone is out of stickers, so now waiting for hours for the one place that has stickers, my day is shot. Cant we be adults and responsible for our own vehicles in this state??
I have always thought they didn't need inspection stickers. Play I might have taped doors in that on back in her day but I have never seen that know people still would make sure their vehicles are safe for their families such. The garages don't want to lose that money.
Besides, it gives some shops an excuse to scam ppl into unneeded and expensive repairs.
Yep, if they're having a slow month, then they make up stuff to 'fix".
A State inspection is warranted in any State that has consistent winter snow and uses salt on the roads as the whole underside could be prematurely rusted away. We have them in VA and most failures are brakes, tires, and lights. My 38 year old Toyota has no frame or lower panel rust. I think States out of the rust belt should scale back inspections to just brakes and tires. Everything else is just nitpicking. My truck fail last year as the one front turn signal lens had faded some and not orange enough after 38 years. Funny it was OK by the same inspector the 3 previous years. Paid $10 for him to install a $2.50 bulb. Just passed again and he is no longer at that shop
Va sucks with all the inspections and taxes. It’s a racket and they take all our money for dumb shit. Get auto insurance and shut up.
bad idea imo, they should make inspections no cost so that there's no problem in helping with safety
when will people learn NO INSPECTIONS IS THE RIGHT THING THESE FOOLS ARE WHO WIN WIN WIN!
guess what? I am a car freak, I know how to take care of my cars and I do not want to have to worry about my customization not passing, hope it goes away soon!
"2 / $300 repair if you catch it in time" ...lol. There are really no $200/$300 repairs. Rotors and a synthetic oil change alone just cost me $350. Being from Ohio, over the last decade, this is the second biggest scam I have seen for PA residents next to the rapid turnpike increases. 5 straight years it was like $1,000, $1100, $700, $900, $600 for my other half to pass inspection. The stuff they would come up with IMO was suspect. She finally gave up and went the leasing route. With that being said there are some buckets of junk on the road in Ohio. Tweak the system to where new cars don't need an inspection for the first 3/36. Used cars every 2 years with a grading system where shops have updated guidelines they have to follow for non urgent repairs that get recorded, but do not cause a failure to pass inspection. The right to a second opinion cancelling out a previous estimate although that may have already been allowed. A buffer period to continue to drive a vehicle if a repair is too expensive while the person saves up for it. Lots of tweaks can be made.
I caught a shop literally taking a blade to my tie rod boots so they could recommend replacement. shady as heck.
Just get rid of it like the other states there's no point. Trust me if you're driving a vehicle you'll feel something's wrong
Powerball
inspection doesn't save lives
When people refuse to police themselves then the Law has to do it for them.
