Now you can make an online appointment for a car inspection in DC!

I wanted to make sure that DC residents know that now you can make an appointment online for your car inspection. I found out by accident (when checking online for the hours the station is open). I made an appointment for 6:30 am this morning, arrived and got ushered through to the special appointment lane, and was gone after 12 minutes. Also, you don't have to pay at the inspection station anymore. It's billed along with your registration. The staff member told me they just started this last month and I don't think it's been publicized at all. In fact when I saw it online I didn't believe it could apply to me and once I realized it did, I didn't believe it would work. But it did work beautifully.

In the many fights we have about suburbs versus the District on this board, it is true that services in DC are often quite mediocre and even bad. But this is quite a stunning reversal! Be sure to get an online appointment when you get your car inspected!

Seriously, this is the best news I have heard in a long time. Gone is the bi-annual ritual of hell!
