Tom:
You are correct; however, I'm unaware of any private shops that have bitten
this bullet. And it's a big one! Being a fellow NJ resident, I'm sure
you've been reading all the horror stories about these inspections: waits of
up to 6-hours, damage to some cars (one woman claims that the guy running
the dyno caused her motor to blow), unheated waiting rooms.
I think that we'll see private stations over time, but right now it seems to
be exclusively in the hands of the state.

In-correct-amundo, Chris! You may still have your car inspected at a
private
shop. Yes, the shop needs to have installed the (approx $50k) dyno
and
associated computer stuff, but it is still an option and the
inspection will
be good for 2 years, same as the state stations.

In the past we were able to get our cars inspected in privately run
shops.
As of this year, however, we have the expanded inspection. You
know,
the
one where they your car on a rolling dyno and take it through a
cycle of
different speeds/loads. As a result, all motor vehicle inspections
will
be
performed by state shops.
