At his shop, Baity and one other mechanic have been certified to use the computerized device which scans the vehicle’s motor for compliance. Baity says the new stan- dards are a daily topic of conversation. Customer reactions vary from skeptical to confused. “They don’t seem to look forward to it,” he said. One person was relieved his inspection was due in June, giving him one more year before having to meet the emission’s requirements. Baity supports the new rules. “We've got this pollution problem. We've got to do something about it,” he said. Regular tune ups, oil changes and proper tire inflation can result in both compliance with the rules and better gas mileage, according to Baity. “It’s small, common sense stuff. When the check engine light comes on, don’t contin- ue to drive,” he said. The new inspection will take between 20 and 30 min- utes. Baity is planning to convert one bay into a wait- ing area and has added an additional bay to conduct inspections. The emissions and safety inspections cost a combined $30 for vehicles manufac- tured after 1995. Older vehi- cles are only required to have the $9.10 safety inspec- tions which checks the horn, brakes, tires, lights, wipers and power steering fluid. Inspection prices are man- dated by the state. Inspections are due in the month indicated on the sticker. Vehicles which fail have 30 days to correct the problem. Diamond Chevrolet, Plonk Tire and Wade Ford are also offering the emis- sions inspection.
