Are you talking just a yearly inspection sticker? You'll find in NH that places are allowed to charge different amounts. I've gotten stickers for as low as $25 and paid as much as $50. It's a racket. I typically go to Mieneke or Midas. They usually try to tell me I need something and I just decline. I tale my car elsewhere for actual servicing. I just like the cheaper prices for inspection stickers.

Why? In the 10+ years I've lived in NH, I've never had a problem with inspection stickers whether I paid $50 or $25. So why would I pay a higher price for the same thing?

Because it's a loss leader. I'm sure you "needed new brakes" or some bullshit.

Which is why I always decline any additional service they try to sell me on. I know what my car needs (most of the time) as I'm pretty good about regular maintenance and have a regular place for all other service. I'd just rather pay a little less for the BS inspection sticker.
