how long does a PA inspection take?

i bought a mirage the other day and it has stickers that expired last year, i can't find a shop near by ( or gas station or anything ) that does state inspections, so i'll have to wait. i also need an oil change, any idea on how long it will be? it will run me about 50 bucks for an inspection right?

Mine was like $80 for inspection and emissions and it took about 1 hour. If you dont have emissions testing in your county, you are lucky.

Yes, expect over an hour, especially if they find something wrong w/ your car. They look over the whole vehicle.

My father owns his shop and he makes people drop it off in the morning and pick up later in the afternoon. Good luck finding it for $50!

Its going to cost more around $65, and since the car is obd=II it wont take long if the car passes.

I think everyone is confused: State Inspection OR Emmisions.

He said state inspection.

Cost me $22.80. Took about 10 minutes.

He put it up on the lift, checked the tread depth, made sure lugnuts were tight, checked drive train and put the sticker on. No emissions in Wayne Co.

Inspection takes about #20-30mins. Emmissions for a 1996 and up car will have a OBD2 TEST DONE. takes about #10 mins. Both state inspection/emmission's stickers should run about $65-$80.00.depending on the whereabouts.

Our shop is located in the northeast philadelphia. We have been there since 1968. Our current rates for state inspection our $71.95 with tax 7% TAX $5.04 $76.99 out the door.

$20.00 Inspection CAR.
$2.00 Sticker
$49.95 Emmission Test

Drive less than #5000 miles in a 365 day period than your EXEMPT from the emmission's test. Than the fee's is normally split in half. $24.95. Rather than $49.95 for the full run.

Hope i could be of Any help.
