Hmmm, I was told by one particular station, who shall remain nameless,
that there WAS a charge for re-inspection. My headlights were out of
alignment and he said that I could either pay $10.00 for him to adjust
the headlights and pass my car, or I could go get it done on my own and
then come back for a re-inspection. I think the charge was only a dollar
or so but the hassle of going out getting it done on my own or doing it
myself and then having to come back again to re-inspect the car was
simply not worth the trouble, so I let him charge me $10 for adjusting
the headlights. I offered to adjust them myself right there in the
garage, but he wouldn't let me. I haven't gone back there again, not
even for gas.
