Regular vehicles do have to be inspected, and most places are very strict about it. My truck (see sig) is heavy enough (8700 lbs) to require a different inspection, which many places are not licenced to do. One of the local car dealers is, but they have tried to scam me the last two times I went there. I am lucky to be both quite skilled with general automotive work, and a natural skeptic. The last time I was there they told me i needed, among many other things, new rotors which would total alone over $350 U.S. I told them outright they were lying, and my friend, who runs a home built 10 second mustang, told me they were fine. It took a long time but i finally found a shop that doesnt habitually lie.
