I think it was about $18 back when they did it here but the state EPA ran the centers, but I just think it's annoying and waste of time. One of the concerns if Texas got rid of theres is less jobs...
Then the inspections done by private companies, many of them also do the repairs too. So I don't trust them.
In California, they even have random smog checkpoints. A police officer waves people over to a mobile checkpoint. There's videos of it on YouTube. Probably only stops California plated vehicles though. Good example video: https://youtu.be/IDKuDzUImh4
I wonder how car collectors deal with this stuff if not meeting any of the exemptions. Seems like a annoying hassle, especially if you don't drive it that much.
My ears are annoyed when people driving play loud bassey music, the government should require all cars have a volume limiter and inspect them every year for $10 extra. Similar logic I guess.
