Hi guys, my girl friend got defected for too low, wheels to big and window tint. She has to go to regency and will they just check them off or go over the whole car. Also how much does it cost to go to regency as its her first time going there.

Thanks

my suggestion is don't leave anything to chance if you think it wont pass change it.

They can test for emissions now but its used for heavily modified cars with engineering being done etc. They dont do it for your everyday car at inspections due to time and price involved. If youve played around the anything on the motor theyl tell you to come back for another inspection with the the emission report paper, which can be fudged pretty easily anyway.

Thanks, thats is what i was meaning...

If they suspect your car is mechanically modded, they can do an emissions test
