Really? I was unaware of that. I'm wrong on both counts and will say no
more on the topic.
Hmmmm... Maybe I won't need those lights after all...

The numbers I've seen say that about 2/3 of the outfits which were
certified
inspection stations under the old system have bitten the bullet and
installed the dynos. I know that my local (privately owned) Sunoco
station
has done so.

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.
