Why was the test fee for 1992 and newer vehicles reduced while the test fee for older cars was kept the same?
AirCare evaluated its operating costs and revenues, and based on the projected volume and the time and equipment necessary to perform each test type, found that it was possible to reduce the fee for 1992 and newer vehicles to $45. The OBD test being performed on 1998 and newer vehicles is expected to reduce the average test time slightly and allow for this reduction. The test, and therefore the fee, for the older vehicles will remain the same.
