Why I now love Jiffy Lube
 

I went to have my car smogged and inspected today for my registration renewal.

I was reading the pricelist at JiffyLube and was shocked to see that they will actually process my DMV renewal for me for just an extra $10.

5 minutes later I walk out with new stickers on my license plate.

Thumbs up for one stop shopping.

What did they do for you exactly? I dunno how your state works...

I hope they don't use pennzoil, poor hondas.

They ran a smog test. They ran a safety inspection. They took my money and renewed my registration for another year. They gave me a new sticker for my license plate (says "07") and gave me a new, updated registration.

Ah, so they do private inspections.

I'm personally very against private inspections, but that's me.

<best nappy voice> LUCKYYYY</voice>

it could never be this easy in jersey. it does suck that you have to do it every year though.

Go to loringer's in willingboro, they'll pass anyone illegally, that's where my shop sends all their cars to get passed illegally...

How do you pass illegally? I guess you don't really pass, you get a sticker illegally.

He's legal! Good news, Matt. Congrats.

I protect my cars from the likes of Jiffy Lube and such. I fear I would have to put a car down if one of those quicky places ever touched one of them.

Alberta is kind of bad in one way.

Good points: we only have to get vehicle inspected upon purchase if it is over 10 years old.

Bad points: No exhaust/smog checks. You can even legally run without a cat. With all the trucks and farm vehicles around here I'd be horrified to see what our NOx levels might be like. That's one reason I wouldn't want to lean out my engine.
