yeah it got stupid. I first got my inspection license in 1994,and renewed every 4 years until 2016. Then they wanted us to take a test and pay every few years for it. up until then it was a letter asking if you were still doing inspections, you'd say yes and sign it send it back and they'd send a card that was only valid if you had your drivers license. I have been out of the business now 10 years, an I got out for reasons other than that, but going back isn't an option I'm getting old and don't want to pay $200 to take the inspection license test :) But that makes sense How many years has that "bar code" been on the owners cards 20? I remember one inspection mechanic could only do two an hour. The thig is, its not that great of a paying job to be charging mechanics to take a test every 2 to 4 years. if you work for someone else even ten years ago I was lucky to make 45 grand a year. I make 65 now sitting behind a desk for chrissake.
