Texas bill to end vehicle safety inspection program dies

Robert L. Redding Jr., ASA’s Washington, D.C., representative said, “We are extremely grateful to have seen the outpouring of opposition from our Texas members. Texas repairers know the value of their program and did not hesitate to share their concerns with their representatives.

“We have 15 state vehicle inspection programs in the United States,” Redding continued. “Our members in these states understand that these programs protect the motoring public. Shops are on the front lines when customers fail to have their brakes, tires and other critical safety issues addressed.”
