I moved to NH from MA in 2019. First time I went to get my car inspected they gave me a huge list of things to get done. (The car was fine in MA). I got the things done on my own. Went back and they gave me a different list with 3 things that weren’t on the last list. I took care of those things and went a 3rd time. Got a new list of new things. Tried a different place and got a different list. I gave up. To this day I drive around every day with my rejection sticker. It’s a huge scam how NH deals with inspections.

This is wild. Was it just the 2 shops you tried?

I had the opposite experience. I had my wife take a car in that I knew needed a couple of minor things, and it got a sticker. Same thing with another car I did a few months later. This was at a VIP/Oreillys.

I use to NH state inspect then I went to work in mass. My brother just had his car fail at zaks. They gave him a list of stuff to fix. He gave me the list and I bought all the parts and changed them. I would never have failed my brothers car for the things they did.

How bad of shape is the car in? I recently had mine inspected at the Meineke in Nashua and there were some borderline things (over $1k) but they passed it anyway. They just told me to spend the next year chipping away at the stuff here and there.
