Inspection

i took my truck through inspection today and they wouldnt inspect my truck because the insurance card that in good from 3-16-08 to 3-16-09 is no good????? they told me that because it said temporary on the top that it is only good for 60 day when it expires in 09. and the insurance company said its good?

Gotta love NJ. I used to work at a licensed inspection facility and we couldn't inspect a car for some reason so we took it to the state. We were told that our paperwork was filled out wrong even though someone from the state told us how to fill it out. . When I wetn back with the rule book stating the people were wrong I got a sticker in about 2 minutes because they just wanted me out of there LOL

Newton has a bad rep, I used to work in Newton years ago at a auto dealer and all I heard were stories you wouldn't believe. Randolph isn't too bad as long as they aren't really busy, I found that if you get there 1/2 before closing on a Saturday you can be out of there in less than 20 minutes.

I have to agree with Steve on Randolph. I'm usually never there more than 20 minutes.
