Good quality tires. Not premium but not the cheap options, much less than 30k miles. They once replaced a 6 month old tire that they put on for me without calling first. I didn't check or have proof that it was okay so battle lost.

The next time they tried this they slipped and told me in person but I was prepared with the receipt of when they put it on. Oddly enough they switched to "it'll be good another season but we'll want to change that next time."

My fault for not checking myself but I'm done with them. Dishonest and trying to pull a quick one.

anything Hillsborough and Rockingham county

Mud season some roads are all but impassable. Exact dates of mud season vary from year to year

Conspiracy theories are fun but you must have never lived in a state without inspections. Sharing the road with a ton of polluting wrecks gets old, fast.

there's not much recourse if you get failed for a BS reason though.

it's irrelevant. how can it possibly be about safety when we don't even require seatbelts. it probably made sense in 1931 when it was enacted, but nowadays it's basically a scam.

the time and money spent on enforcing vehicle inspections would be better spent educating people on distracted/drunk driving.

I would call it anything South of Winni

Manchester

Came here to say this. The Seacoast definitely isn't southern NH. I'd say it ends around Rt 125 going east. I think southern NH ends at the Hooksett park and ride, before Concord. Southern NH is kinda just another name for the Merrimack valley imho.

Eh, it's more like of a money grab from the state and sleezy repair shops. I had a car recently fail because of a hairline crack in one of the taillights. Far from unsafe and wasn't letting any moisture in. Just a money grab and now I have to buy a 200 taillight for a car that doesn't need it.

Registration, not inspection.

What, you thought the Freedom of "Live Free or Die" was actually free?

I always thought it was anything below 101

This feels a lot like waaaaaa…. Do you really want a dip shit driving a car with no brakes cause it will happen and you might be the unlucky driver who meets them.

Yah, but NA Cl is far more corrosive! No shyt it prevents the obv. But I think this so called solution is a means to make you buy a vehicle every 5 years...in Colorado this doesn't happen. Vehicles never die out here. Just saying, just because you are used to it, doesn't mean it's the best option. Complacency leads to acceptance, which the general public veiws as normal. When infact if we took our heads out of our asses we,d realized you don't need to stand forward in an elevator and there are far better less harmful means to de ice a road.

We aren't even getting Into the saline increase after a storm Into the marshes and tidal areas. Shit is a big ass elephant in the room and NH and NE will probably realize how bad it will be in like 10 years.

I have a serious question, where are the critical thinkers in NH? They probably left I imagine.

Law breakers really don't like getting pulled over by the cops. Opens up a can of worms for the police find other things to fine or arrest you for. Like drugs.

Magnesium Chloride is salt. People want to drive at highway speed when traveling on a highway. During the winter, that isn't going to happen without salt in some form. If the roads aren't treated, vehicles slide off the road or into other vehicles and travel comes to a stop.

Even more expected Wednesday into Thursday.

About freaking time!

After living in NH for 3 years, and before lived in CO; i'd say the real actual reason for inspections has something to do with new and used car industry, the salt industry, and the state.

All colluding, because they are all making a fuck ton of money on you having to either fix or more likely trade your vehicle in for a new or used one.

It's ultimately, a way to prop up the auto industry in NE, and consumers incur the costs.

I haven't researched any of this but just from observations, and personal experience, I'd say I'm 80Percent correct.

Not all states use salt fyi, most don't. Nebraska uses recycled glass pulverized to sand. Colorado uses magnesium cloride.

Honestly the salt industry should pay for it's proven impact on roads and vehicles. But like all things, you and I pay. I bet the salt co gets subsidized via your property taxes.

Cheers!

The notion that you can just get regular maintenance and be fine is a little absurd. You need regular inspections, not just for your own safety but for others on the road. About 15 years ago I had an inspection and they found a very small leak in my gasline. I was getting 4-5 oil changes a year at that time due to the amount I was driving. No one caught it and I don't have a great sense of smell. Had it not been for the inspection who knows what would have happened. Could I have been fine until it got worse and I noticed it? Maybe. I also might have just blown up. Honestly I still think it's a little absurd that insurance isn't mandatory in NH.

Agreed....

Concord is unique, more central than south.

I always say "south of the hooksett tolls"

Everything south of the hooksett toll booths IMO....

Concord straddles the line.

As someone who used to work at a small auto repair shop, I can tell you from my experience, there are a lot of unsafe vehicles driving around this state. People come in with bald tires, broken suspension components and brakes with little to no pads left. When told their car doesn't pass inspection, they drive off and claim it will pass at another location. I feel bad for the person they slam into when a ball joint breaks and they can't steer or stop to avoid the collision. There is a reason why inspection was instituted. To get these idiots off the road.

I mean do we really want trucks driving around with snapped frames? Although I agree it could be every 2-3 years.
