In N.Y. you have to pass the emissions test and the results are transfered to the state. You cannot just turn off the code as the computer will report that info to the state. You have to spend something around $400 on repairs to fix the reported issue before the shop can issue you a sticker. I just had my truck done and the mechanic discussed this with me. He stated that they had only one unrepairable emissions exemption this year and the state audited them over it. He had to produce the records of the attempted repairs which had to show reapirs that were directly related to fixing the problem. Buying new tires does not qualify for the emmisions exemption! While I was there they brought in a truck on a flat bed with a broken balljoint. Mechanic stated he noticed the balljoint as almost in need of replacment at last years inspection. The truck owner was informed of the issue but never had it replaced. A new balljoint was cheap compared to the repairs that truck now needs. The biggest issue with state inspections is the time involved to do it right as compared to the money they get for doing the job. Oh and don't get him started on trailer inspections which now take 45 minutes to do but they can only charge $6 for it.
IMHO Properly done inspections have saved countless lives as that may be the only time a vehicle is looked at by a qualified mechanic.
