getting closer..do they lift the vehicle?? Drive it??

[RubberCtyRauder]

doubtful they lift it or drive it (except maybe on rollers for emissions) too much liability for a state budget to drive cars . what seems go be your concern? you have an issue?

Long as you check engine light is off ab your horn works you will pass.. I live in charlotte nc.

I have seen , too often, some yahoo jack up a car by the body, not frame etc...

Getting mentally prepared in case we retire to NC. Thnx.

N.C. DOT Inspection with my 2004 MM:


Verify paperwork
Enter current mileage
Plug their computer into the OBDII port in the car
Visual inspection - emission equipment, etc.
Safety inspection (jack the rear of the car up by the pumpkin) to check rear tires
Check for tinted windows - if tinted, extra $10.00. If tint too dark you fail.
If there are no codes and all the monitors are in place and there are no other problems they print out a receipt, you pay the man and your done.
If there are any failures, you will fail the inspection.

After a successful inspection you'll have to go to a DMV office to pay the registration with in 60 or 90 days.

BTW...

My MM is not stock, only one set of cats and I pass everytime. The techs love my MM.

[Thomas C Potter]

Thnx Fast Black. That's the kind of detail I was hoping to see. And then you get the honors of going to the DMV every year to pay, lovely!!

I lived in Nc for a bit 99-2001. A 20 dollar bill went a long way to get my illegal tint through the inspection.
