do i have to find a shop that has a machine for AWD cars for inspection?
i usualy got to Strauss auto which is near my house to get the accord inspected but since thats fWD they just have to put the wheels on that roller mechanism.

What about AWD?

 

telefono?

 

yeah but i think ill sound stupid asking them that question over the phone.

=(

 

umm i didnt think that they put a car on the rollers for an inspection

 

Don't worry.........you don't sound stupid right now either.






Just take it there, I think they test 2 wheels at a time anyway. If I recall, last time I went for inspection there was a Sti there. I doubt they did anything different.

 

Word. I'm lost

 

I believe the one i go to does.....remember seeing them accelerate and look at this computer for who knows what. I'm guessing emissions test?

 

why dont they do it in neutral?

 

I guess my mechanic never looked that hard. He checked the basics (started, clutch, brakes, tires, etc...), but never dyno'd or anything. He drove it around the block but thats about it.

 

I dunno, I don't work for DMV. :dunno:





No seriously though, i'm not sure. Then after they do that they move to the next station where the car's wheels (2 at a time) are placed on these platforms and shake really hard. I guess testing for rigidness or suspension? I have no idea what DMV does to my car when it's going through the test. I just sit there and watch. :run:
