Georgia had inspections and they were nothing more than another form of highway robbery. If an inspection station failed you for ANYTHING, you either had to have it fixed there or bring back a receipt showing you had it fixed somewhere else within 30 days. Nothing but a shake down, LOTS of unneeded repairs foisted on people without the knowledge or spine to dispute the failure. The second time I had to pay to have my headlights 'aligned' I learned to find one of the few places that would only test, but not do the actual repairs themselves. At least then they didn't have a financial incentive to report bogus findings.
It was exactly the same in Virginia... Told my cousin's wife she had to have a new air filter which was total BS. She said she would have her husband change it. They said ok but get it done.
